The UK government has finally revised its data centre greenhouse gas impacts upwards by x100 (from a low base!), thanks to @foxglovelegal.bsky.social + @joshgabbatiss.bsky.social @carbonbrief.org www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Chilling on Sirroco Walk in the sun and close to achieving inner peace. God the warm sun on your face really does just fix so much.

Not gonna lie I sometimes think about what would happen if I was working on a video, maybe half finished, and then I’d suddenly die from some unforeseen thing. Like… should I take precautions so that a mutual can reach my stuff and finalize it, or preserve what was completed??

I have apparently wildly upset the Pro AI community for setting fire to an ai slop character in Minecraft as a joke. This was a fun moment where we set fire to Rome Because of the upset, I will be viciously mocking pro AI users further in future, because it's quite entertaining to do so

Keir Starmer grounds his children for writing ‘heck’ with an asterisk in their text messages to their friends which he reads

I used to say business school, and I still think undergraduate business major programs are a huge mistake, but it’s possible AI is now more of a threat

Red state: we have cut gender studies because it doesn’t support our theology Blue state: we have cut gender studies because it doesn’t support our AI institute

“For trans people and inclusive organisations, the last year has been horrific – now we have to find out whether this government has taken its responsibilities seriously and fixed this mess or not.” (Alex Parmar-Yee, director of the Trans+ Solidarity Alliance group)

I don't feel like "deeply flawed" is the word you should be using to describe people like Epstein. That's way way beyond flawed.

This is the sort of nonsense stunt I don't actually mind because it exposes What Things Cost, even a tiny bit. Automation == Free is a pernicious myth that makes it easy to devalue human labor

I comply you to reply if you’re on prozac specifically bc that’s what I’m on. I know it’s super person to person but I’m just so scared.

OK I know I’ve asked this here before and yall gave me answers and experiences but I’m here again because I have the antidepressants now and I’m too scared to even take them. Are you on antideps and what is it like?

FYI. FGEN have launched a pledge for local political candidates (for May elections) to sign, to show that they are supportive of LGBTQ+ rights. If you are standing as a candidate, or know anyone who is, please do feel free to sign / share. feministgenderequality.network/pledge-to-pr... Thank you 🙏

Thank you to everyone for saying this essay spoke to your experiences. I wrote this talking to many victims of this “lowkey rape”. Naming it is the only pathway for repair.

So the only thing that really matters is the views of the people that live there, regardless of which part of Western Europe they or their ancestors came from.

There's a kind of reflexive assumption in leftist spaces that Britain took the Falklands from Argentina, and also that Argentina itself isn't a colonial state because something something Latin America, but it basically is just two nations fighting over some rocks neither has any inherent claim to.

What this elucidates for me is that AI hits the same dopamine trigger as starting a new hobby. The promise is you get all the joy of crafting something with your hands but it actually won't suck this time. Not only is it a lie but you didn't even build the basic skills to start not sucking.

this captures something that's been simultaneously funny & infuriating. if you ask UM admin, they're emphatically like "OBVIOUSLY we won't do nuclear weapons research here" and then you ask LANL staff and they're like "lmao hell yeah we will, what are you, stupid? ever heard of LANL? Nuclear babyyy"

One thing I think about a lot is how Elon Musk drew a line on Alex Jones because of the terrorizing of the Sandy Hook parents, invoking his own dead child, whom he held in his hands. And a couple of weeks later, he just said fuck it and let Jones back on Twitter.

Important to see these outspoken gender critical feminists defending women's sex-based rights to be kept barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, where they naturally belong.

It's available on android too! Good game, as usual for Bart. Consistently quality puzzles since the days of Flash. I'm always happy to see another release :) I'd recommend his colour series as well.

Even more love from the Apple App Store for Factory Balls Go! today 🖤

any time some asshole big game hunting millionaire gets smushed into paste it's like a little practice run for When It Happens. no need to crack open the champagne bottles but maybe open one of those little cans of bubbly to put yourself in the right mindset

"We call them 'Corpse Grinders.' Basically they eat dead biomass. As they digest the mass, it outputs salt and carbon particulate into the air, which rises up, seeds the clouds, and creates rain." "You know a lot about this stuff..." "We should. We bred them." New board from my personal project.

Me: *posts a long thread about how we need to overthrow capitalism to save humanity* Techbro: But AI is cool tho How do you think this going to go for you, brother?

Even saying that Musk is posting "about race" is softening what is happening here, which is that the world's wealthiest person is committing himself to spreading overt Nazi propaganda.

I spent 6 months working for a Swiss NGO researching the tactics used by Big Oil and how similar they are to Big Tobacco’s tactics, and I can tell you that the ones used by ‘Big AI’ are virtually identical.

“If you ask tobacco companies to help write your school’s policy on cigarettes…you’re going to end up with guidance on how to smoke responsibly in school.”

Well, put it like this, and Palantir's appeal to Wes Streeting becomes clear all of a sudden (www.commondreams.org/opinion/pala...) (HT @fascinatorfun.bsky.social).

I think the thing that I find most frustrating about climate change discourse is how the fact the harm is not directly visible is used to make people sound hysterical. So you get 'People think AI kills the whales' as though that is a ridiculous position even though it is quite literally true.

Can't help but notice that the statement pointedly avoids acknowledging that Rowling has harmed trans people. Nothing about her role in funding legal action against trans people's interests, nothing about the repeated instances of her harassing random trans women for just existing in public.

i also remember when a google exec told the stadia team that they were happy to invest in stadia for the next 10 years lmao

Would be grateful for any non-binary folks from the UK filling in some new research on non-binary experiences of family support. Many thanks!

I am going to be a massive humorless asshole about woo-woo shit, no matter how seemingly harmless, for the rest of my life due to this. astrology, homeopathic medicine, etc etc it's all bullshit and it's not fucking harmless. there are people who will die due to this who would have otherwise lived.

I think there's going to be some effort to make it seem like Labour's collapse was because of specific things like Mandelson rather than because the orthodoxy of 'Labour but right wing is what everyone wants' that half of our press has been selling for years is deeply hated, rightfully so.
