I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought

An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

Nothing excites me more than when i mention zines to someone and they go "a what?" And i get to cheerfully inform them on what a zine is! Do you know, too? They are self-published tiny booklets (or big) that you control yourself! No mass media censorship! Freedom to spread good info! A joy to do!💚😁
