The real problem with energy has never been energy itself. Energy is fine. It's the best thing in the world. We need more of it. The problem with energy is how it's created. China is building massive renewable plants. But Trump is supporting more oil and gas plants.

If you're into conspiracies, you might even interpret the water thing as an astroturf by the oil and gas industry to distract from being the most problematic producers of energy. Datacenters need a lot of energy. Where are they going to get it in the US? Doesn't matter, look at the water use!

Like they ARE projecting huge energy requirements for future systems. And for no reason at all I'm gonna post this chart.

I think it needs to be mentioned again and again that the electricity consumption issue is very much real (And especially with future projections) but the water meme is an insane distraction that makes no sense.

Imagine caring about furry AI drama and not making insane ultraporn for your own personal consumption as it is well known pornography and sex are the two biggest drivers of human ingenuity and technological progress.

Following current 5-year trendlines, Furry Weekend Atlanta will be attended by everyone in the US by 2055, all living humans (UN median projection 2024) by 2065, and shortly after that, all humans who have ever lived in 2072.

Had a couple of unexpected twists and one very expected twist that didn't go anywhere at all.

Extremely weird season. Gunn at his most self-indulgent. It was watchable, but it had weird pacing issues and felt really unsatisfying. The many songs don't fix it tbh.

I don't know what's going on with Grok imagine but it's strikingly good for furry porn and access is pretty much free right now.

I remember having arguments with someone about this never being possible (I.e. An AI generation of an anthro character moving and speaking like a human), but I was totally wrong.

Hardly mainstream though. Even when they mainstreamed The Ring they changed what it was about.

I think this guy would be worse than Trump. He'd do EVERY moral and social panic simultaneously.

Like, imagine if the moral of the story was that the grid was that the grid was a mistake and tech bad and they should ban computers. I don't know how that'd jive with people. Even today it'd come across as weird and extremist.

I think there's a thing still in the real world where if you're writing a mainstream story about technology, the general consensus or the sane view is still like "Technology can be bad. Or good. We can't be reactionary about it."

Key 🗝 🦊✅ @keytryer.net · 1d

But I think it's more offensive to writers that Disney would put out a movie like this. There's even a line where the lady is asked about doom and she's like "For every doom scenario there's a medical breakthrough..." I think that'd make you pop a vein if you wrote for Slate.
