The worst thing about burnout for me is that at times my reading comprehension takes a big steaming shit and it can be hard to tell when it's happening.

Genuinely if we don’t abolish ICE I don’t see any way to not become the Julio-Claudia Praetorian Guard, where a lawless rent-seeking paramilitary acts as a continual anchor on the stability and continuity of the state.

I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

OK, I’ve had it with anyone claiming AI doesn’t have a monstrous carbon footprint. The early alarmists underestimated impact l. This level of build-out far outpaces any other power needs by orders of magnitude.
As @paulkedrosky.com has written, as a % of GDP, spending on AI infra has already exceeded spending on telecom and internet infrastructure from the dot-com boom—and it’s still growing.

A government with teeth would make any and all kinds of price gouging illegal and make companies fundamentally terrified of raising prices significantly without a documented and transparent explanation, and even then! Instead companies can charge whatever they want forever.

There is a genuine sadness to this era of tech. This IS the Rot Economy, and what you get when growth is all that matters. Every person defending LLMs is ultimately defending growth itself. It’s not about technology and hasn’t been for a long time. It’s about more things to sell and develop for.

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.
Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work.
I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.

In the past week, I've seen stories of AI:
- being used by middle schoolers to make porn of other students
- calling innocent people sex offenders
- shutting down highways with busted-ass self-driving cars
- emitting more CO2 than New York City
What the fuck are we even doing?

The thing about using AI in your projects is we can never know *how much* you truly used if you obfuscate it at all tbh, and it spoils the bunch like the rotten apple it is. Doesn’t matter if you say you “just used it as a placeholder once,” it’s too easy for you to have not done it again.
