• video: A 3d animation of an anthropomorphic dragon flying while carrying a yinglet in his arms. The yinglet starts mimicking common cockpit alarm sounds causing the dragon to get a confused look on his face. After a longer pause, the yinglet then starts shaking violently similar to a stick shaker stall warning signal, which makes the dragon get a panicked look on his face. The animation ends with a cut to a view far from below at the ground, looking up at the duo as the stick shaker warning ends and the dragon starts flying normally again.

The delusion and disconnect between Silicon Valley and the real world will persist until the venture capital runway—or the dangerous debt financing—runs out. At which point, demand will be revealed as a fraction of the desire to build supply.

Nobody. Wants. This.

You can make people use tools they despise, but you do so at the cost of productivity and employee turnover. Say it with me: Gen AI is a loser.

When people ask me about "AI" policy, I like to point out that there is policy being made at many different levels and even if our national government is currently a shitshow, local action really matters, like zoning against data centers and "AI" policy in schools.

New metric shows renewables are 53% cheaper than nuclear power

A new metric for assessing total system costs puts a least-cost mix of offshore wind and solar at about €46 ($54.20)/MWh in a future climate-neutral energy system for Denmark. Researchers tell pv magazine that figure is less than half the equivalent cost of nuclear under the same conditions.

I buy peppermint tea from Aldi. It's not very convenient because every single individual tea bag is wrapped in paper for some reason but I can at least just go and buy them from a shop with cash normally. At least until 2024, when they started wrapping each? individual?? teabag???? in plastic??????? so of course I stopped buying my teabags there because, well, OBVIOUSLY I stopped, wew lad yikes. I sent Aldi an email saying hey yo I'm not buying your weird plastic-wrapped teabags, email me when you come to your senses, they emailed back almost immediately saying they were a very sustainable company actually and you can put the plastic in the recycling and do not reply to this email.

So I started getting Celestial Seasonings tea bags which just come in a cardboard box lined with wax paper. I bought a bunch of boxes off the evil monster bastard empire amazon. Then I went grumble grumble well I suppose I should stop buying shit from amazon as well, they're so convenient why can't they just be good, so I would occasionally grab a box out of Giant Eagle, which is a real American grocery chain that actually exists and has that name and this is your daily reminder that it's impossible to satirize Americans.

Anyway spouse has a sore throat and needs much pep T so yesterday I was gonna go to the whiskey shop for whiskey and Aldi for milk and also heck we're out of mintyhot so I went up to Giant Eagle and as I was walking up to the door a guy walked in with a handgun and one of those belts with all bullets around it straight past the bouncer bold as brass and I turned right around and went nah fuck that I'll go to Aldi.

Defeated at amazon by their evil-capitalism shittiness and defeated at giant eagle by their guns-yay shittiness I returned to Aldi to embrace their that's-a-lot-of-plastic-even-for-americans shittiness and I shamefully bought a box of peppermint-plastic tea.

And when I opened it this morning the teabags were still individually wrapped, but in paper like they were before. So like, still a pain in the arse and a pointless waste, but apparently while I wasn't buying their plastic-wrapped teabags they stopped wrapping them in plastic. And never bothered to email me back and say hey Dan we did what you asked, come back and give us money.

You don't expect buying teabags to have fucking three acts and a betrayal and a twist and a redemption arc but here we are I suppose

If politicians gave a shit about children, the schools would feature:

- HVAC systems that cleaned viruses out of the air
- at least two child psychologists on staff
- age-appropriate lessons to help children identify abuse
- funding for well-paid staff in numbers sufficient for a buddy system to reduce the chances of abuse
- arts education and after-school clubs to provide third spaces for kids
- massive, safe playgrounds
- protected biking and walking infrastructure from the school to residential neighborhoods

Instead we get “parents’ rights”, funding cuts, book bans, and car-centric infrastructure that kills pedestrians and bikers.

If social media is bad for kids, THEY NEED ALTERNATIVES.

A hard ban on LLM/"AI" use in a FLOSS project is the moderate stance. I am not a moderate person.

Giving space to these machines is throwing the millions of people whose work they stole, the millions of people who suffer under their crawlers' assault under the bus.

We do not throw each other under the bus in a civil society. I hope you understand this to be the bare minimum.
