“To suddenly start building data centres so much denser in terms of power use, chips cost 10 times as much, there is unproven demand, which eat all up available grid power & suitable real estate — all that is an extraordinary challenge and a gamble."

There has been a step forward in global climate accountability – the International Court of Justice confirms that states have legal obligations to prevent climate harm.

Remember how in 2021 we were all told that NFTs were the future and even if we didn't like them they were inevitable and we should all get used to it because this technology has so many obvious advantages? Boy they sure showed us huh.

This article is being written like it’s a big shock that “Large Reasoning Models” aren’t good at reasoning, but they’re literally just LLMs trained to talk to themselves to refine the answer before responding to a prompt. It’s the same crap architecture with a lazy bandaid slapped over its flaws

Take one minute: go to bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice and send a letter to the Israeli government, UN officials, and diplomatic missions demanding that Israel abide by international law and refrain from attacking, sabotaging or otherwise interfering with the #Madleen and her mission.

But that illusion has found an audience that doesn't merely want to be tricked, they have seen a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat and are now dedicating their lives to speculating on the complex ecology that must exist inside the hat to support the rabbits inside, the magician be damned.

Those who have won capitalism's game have done so by unnaturally positioning themselves at the headwaters of the natural generative stream created by human society, then damned it for themselves. Having thus stolen as much as they can, these fools believe their theft means they invented water.
