Nobody wants this shit. Nobody.
The hostile reaction has been so pronounced, in fact, that it feels like a company announcing it would never force AI into its products would carve out a pretty good chunk of the market.

I didn’t know it worked this way. @nytopinion.nytimes.com first published my piece on Watson and genetic determinism on Sunday, but it came out in the paper today. Evidently each week the op-ed page is a mad shuffling scramble for Friday.

In New Orleans, at #HSS2025. The 1st #eugenics panel had many friends, colleagues, & students there—& 1 grandstudent!— in the audience and behind the podium, it felt like a big fuzzy eugenic family reunion. That's a thing, right?

James D. Watson is dead. Stay tuned for some thoughts, based on my research on his biography, to be published soon.
While I write that up, y'all can throw tomatoes at this if you like. But I will offer a more nuanced take.

Louisiana has to build three new natural gas power plants to accommodate the "AI" data center that Meta just crammed through because said center will use *Three Times* as much electricity (and, thus, attendant resources) as the *Entire City Of New Orleans*, every year.
Y'all this isn't sustainable.
