From Mining to Mitigation: How Bitcoin Can Support Renewable Energy Development and Climate Action
The world is currently facing a major issue of high emissions from fossil-fuel-based energy sources, which contribute to the persistent problem of climate change. A switch to a renewable-powered infra...

three years ago it could barely make a react app and now agents are finding APIs with x402 support and paying for usage with crypto
It does some stuff well but needs constant supervision, and when it messes up, people often don’t know why or how. This makes it both worse and dangerous. I would not structure my economy out of this just as I wouldn’t allow an anonymous man to build my house with materials I’ve never heard of.

Write all code by hand and keep using banks to stick it to the totalitarians
Stop using AI, Stop using ChatGPT, stop funding crypto.
You are all complicit with totalitarianism and fascism every time you use these tools…
Happy Truth Tuesday!

I wonder if @chrismurphyct.bsky.social is anti-tech because CT is unattractive to tech companies.
As they migrate states (e.g. Tesla, Meta, Dropbox, Coinbase, have reincorporated or plan to), none choose CT.
Rather than seeing this as something to fix, it’s easier to just to vibe on “tech bad.”

Any compute you’re not running off a server in your closet is BS according to unnamed Red Hat engineer
Containers, cloud, blockchain, AI – it's all the same old BS, says veteran Red Hatter

The purpose of data centers is to add more optimal nodes to the network. Increase bandwidth, reduce latency, baseload compute for civilization.

Artists love to talk about AI Slop and then turn around and draw the most uninspired, visually uninteresting, stylistically bankrupt image you've ever seen. AI can be used to make something awesome, and you can draw boring dogshit by hand. The medium does not dictate the merits of the work.

When this main broke in Waterbury, CT, the water loss was roughly equivalent to 146 trillion output tokens, or about 35 million user-years of daily AI usage (30 queries/day).
Meanwhile, data centers are upgrading water infrastructure.
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social I think we should bring AI to CT.

If anyone wants a job in building on a tech in which the only use case is crime, every bank and payment co is hiring for those skills, because it turns out it’s incredibly useful for asset ledgers and global finance actually

It’s pretty incredible that people hate AI but if you look at how discourse has been social engineered since 2014 it’s also incredibly predictable

a lot of the water infrastructure was built a century ago and is too inefficient and dangerous to actually be used by data centers so they’re upgrading them

Why is like every programmer spawning 50 AI subagents to do their work and every artist writing stuff like this
AI is a tool of fascism. Full stop. It was created for the specific purpose of stealing the work of others, demoralizing artists, and eliminating middle class jobs to push creators out of art and into the lowest paying work. When you endorse AI slop, that’s what you’re endorsing.

Skill issue tbh
From what I can tell, it’s ubiquitous. AI is very plainly garbage, but those in power foist it on all of us. Maybe it really is just a way to access unwaged labor (still bad), but my guess is that the misinformation & opacity lends itself to the authoritarianism they desire.
My kid and their friends also say this.

I hate when my chips running AI models excrete sludge into the local lake
I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

“The stock, which came close to inclusion in the S&P 500 last year, lost a further 17 per cent on Thursday, down some 80 per cent since its peak after Trump’s re-election.”

So much of this thread reminds me what artists in the 1800s felt about photography bros
"A picture this which artist never drew"
"utterly contemptible as a work of art"
