I'm looking for a primary care provider today. Took me all of 30 seconds to pull up this map from my insurance provider of who is in network. I am awestruck at how stupid these AI boosters think we all are

It's simple! You see, Line 1 was one line, but now it's two lines! Here, let me illustrate it with this helpful color coded graphic listing THREE different names for the lines
Line 1 after:
Line 1 Kenny

Line 1 Livingston

Every day its another big flashing message of "fuck you, your data is ours, there's nothing you can do about it" from another piece of the big tech surveillance economy. I need to finally delete my Instagram.
You chose to disconnect your activity off Meta technologies from your account. The setting you used to make this choice is going away soon.

Or a very different type of story, this highly convoluted and wasteful approach to building compute capacity feels like another weird way to distribute risk onto other parties instead of just owning your own Data centers if you want to train AI? I don't get it heatmap.news/energy/span-...
The company refers to XFRA as a “distributed data center.” It’s sort of like if you chopped up a full-scale data center into washing machine-sized boxes and plugged them into peoples’ homes; Span’s smart panel then acts as a conductor, orchestrating XFRA’s energy consumption to take advantage of unused power capacity without stepping on the home’s other energy needs. In exchange for hosting one of these XFRA “nodes,” Span will offer homeowners and tenants deeply discounted, if not free electricity and internet service.

Today marks the two year anniversary of Google workers staging sit-ins to protest the discrimination and abuse of our Arab, Palestinian, and Muslim colleagues who were targeted and marginalized for speaking out against Project Nimbus, Google's $1.2 billion contract with the Israeli gov and military.
Two years ago, Google employees peacefully protested Google's contract with the Israeli military and internal culture of anti-Arab and anti-Muslim discrimination. Google fired them. Wanna know more? Ready to join the fight? Join us for TECHLASH backlash against big tech. fired50.org/techlash

Anyways we knew this was coming. "Don't use AI for weapons systems" is a principle I care a lot about and I think it's more important every day
“As a Software Engineer in Google Cloud, it is horrifying to think that the code I write could be used by the Israeli Military in the first ever AI powered genocide,” said Google Cloud software engineer William Van Der Laar from Sunnyvale in a statement. “We did not come to Google to work on technology that kills. By engaging in this contract leadership has betrayed our trust, our AI Principles, and our humanity.”
