There are a few different threads I'm in that discus AI and data center resource utilization.
I took the better part of a day to write this up with cited sources. Always happy for corrections or to have my opinion changed in light of new information!

I wrote a little song about this, maybe 20 years ago. It was a silly song and I was the only one who liked it.

"They didn't realize they were tackling a Senator for asking questions, they thought they were tackling a journalist for asking questions"

An MSNBC anchor just definitively claimed Padilla didn't identify himself when video clearly shows he did. So fucking irresponsible. This is how lies spread.

This tbh. I promise I will eventually write up a blog about how I do what I do, too
yes. chatgpt - particularly the thinking models - are extremely good at i.e. debugging gnarly errors. significant time savings many times over.
LLMs are enough of an improvement to my workflows that i find people who call them useless really funny.
Yes they make mistakes, but so do i, and the loop to fixing those mistakes is shorter with their help.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

Do not obey in advance to a wildly unpopular one term president who is currently fighting wars on multiple fronts for seemingly no reason
Let's wake up. He's REALLY unpopular for this early in a term or really ever. President's this unpopular are already losing. Power becomes harder to assert when your power is fading.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent.
Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list.
This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts.
It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.

It’s chaos for everyone outside the little corruption bubble.
Any traders with inside information that Trump was going to walk back his tariffs — some of them, presumably, Trump family members and cronies — just made a fortune.
It all feels like chaos until you look more closely at who is winning.
