Why look here, if it isn't Eric Schmidt (formerly of Google) backing more fossil fuels.

Backers of Bitcoin, or "AI", occasionally try this ludicrous argument that technologies which intentionally waste energy are good for climate change, because by creating portable demand for energy they encourage alternative energy development.
To the fossil fuel providers, they tell the truth: "AI" and Bitcoin can soak up the supply created by alternative energy, so that we continue burning coal and oil even after wind and solar become cheap enough to dispace it.

I studied Artificial Intelligence for four years, and I am not touching LLM AIs with a ten-foot pole.
It's not really about the insane electricity demands, the water usage, tho that's a good reason. It's not even, if I'm honest, about the disastrous effect on the sum of all human art and knowledge.
It's because a) I've studied enough AI to know it's a trick, a sort of linguistic illusion, and b) I've studied enough everything else to understand that I'm not immune to such illusions.

I'm not completely sure platforming Nate Soares to the Hank Green audience without some real context is a good idea.

Zohran is running such a good campaign. Imagine if Kamala had principles and catered to constituents instead of PACs. I hope Democrats pivot their strategy hard when he wins

I think of how different my life is compared to my parents’, and theirs before them. My grandfather carried sacks of rice and spices as a day laborer. My grandmother sewed things for pennies. My dad could not afford to go to college even though he’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, but he found a very technical career (making dentures) and he did that his entire career. My mom was a maternity nurse who could bathe many babies at once. I got to do everything that I do on the backs of spices, seams, fake teeth and baby baths.

I propose a new type of spacecraft drive. It's powered by tiny screws and their ability to ping off into hyperspace.
Unfortunately, you won't know where you're going until you get there, but you'll get there very quickly indeed.

Apple is not good at negotiating, and never has been.
They're good at dictating, which only works when they have all of the power.
When they actually need to *negotiate*, it's like when I suddenly needed to study in college: they have no idea how, they think they know everything and reject the possibility that they may not, they're not willing to do anything they don't feel like doing, and so they usually fail.

Now wife asked if I was vegan on our first date. "Oh yes" I said. Took her bed that night, fifteen years married. Last week she caught me in a cafe scoffing a bacon roll. "Oh thank fuck." She'd been on the hamburgers all along. Having our first Sunday Roast this weekend.
