Premium newsletter: my 18k word AI Mythbusters: There’s no insatiable demand for AI compute, AI is not “getting exponentially better” or “tricking humans,” we haven't “lost control of AI,” AI doomerism is a grift, and there is no “GenAI arms race with China.”

I keep trying to think of a cool or interesting introduction to this newsletter, and keep coming back to how fucking weird everything is getting. Two days ago, cloud stalwart Oracle crapped its pants...

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

"I just want to celebrate his work, which was incredibly important to me, almost weirdly important." And probably for a lot of people. @sonnybunch.bsky.social remembers Rob Reiner: lnk.thebulwark.com/3MEHyOs

In Mexico, I asked Lewis Hamilton about what pet ownership taught him about himself. A simple question... but one with a LOT of baggage in the #F1 paddock.

This is your sign to ask your questions, no matter what others think.

This is one of those things that I think is quietly important – when these people are talking shit about cities, Portland or Minneapolis or New York or Charlotte or wherever, you have to loudly say, “no, fuck you, you’re lying, that town and its people whip ass and you’re the asshole”

True joy recognizes and acknowledges pain, tears, sadness, and every other emotion that exists within the spectrum of human experience. It is about discovering and finding balance, equilibrium, and a sense of steadiness even in the midst of difficult, trying, and turbulent times.

Horses isn't a game I'd buy (their particular brand of surrealism rubs me the wrong way) but in a world where on any given day games like this make up half of steam's current release list, deplatforming it is putting your thumb on the scale enabling suppression of disapproved speech

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

Hitler was bad.

An essay that, you know, I didn’t think I’d need to write.
Perry: The pro-Hitler problem with the American right
"We need to get back to the basics: Hitler was bad. The people who suggest otherwise are also bad," David M. Perry writes.

I see Tom Stoppard has died. A legacy of so much theatre brilliance over a long time.

This is a major loss, a very sad farewell to a giant.

"We shed as we pick up, like travellers who must carry everything in their arms, and what we let fall will be picked up by those behind. The procession is very long and life is very short. We die on the march. But there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it."
