this is usually the part where the adults in the room put their foot down and try to talk you down from wanting a pony.
Problem: AI needs massive amounts of power to thrive. Nuclear makes lots of power. Nuclear takes a long long time to do safely.
Proposed solution that I'm sure will have no unpleasant consequences: Use AI to speed up the construction of new nuclear plants.

Power Companies Are Using AI To Build Nuclear Power Plants
Tech companies are betting big on nuclear energy to meet AIs massive power demands and they're using that AI to speed up the construction of new nuclear power plants.

if we manage to pull through All Of This and there are still video games on the other end of the tunnel, i look forward to playing the hot new wave of nihilistically unsubtle political satire narrative games.
It’s crazy being a narrative designer who wrote fake emails and seeing this many real emails from rich evil people with brainworms and going “sheesh even when I had to be extremely on the nose to clarify objectives and shit I was still leagues more subtle and human-sounding than THIS”

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

It’s very enervating to watch intelligent and educated people play dumb about this amidst the ascendance of a far-right reactionary movement driven by antisocial Silicon Valley psychos and Miami crypto scammers who all treat women as status symbols on the same level as NFTs and Labubus.
he’s a provider of access to money, connections and beautiful women and girls — everything that these people need to affirm their own status. being rich and powerful is a grift which requires other to bolster & buy in. That’s the service Epstein provided.
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like “Hello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile? Pedophilic Regards, your Friend ;)” and instead of swinging from a gibbet most of them are still writing op-eds against leftism

this was something i noticed in my earlier experiments with gpt - while it could undoubtedly generate a large volume of material, it felt like there was always a fundamental disrespect for the reader's time, like a post that goes on way too long to almost make a point but not quite and then forgets.

We had enough information to know he was Like This when we knew what he had said on the Access Hollywood tape. "If you're a star they let you do it" is about imposition of his will on someone who doesn't have the ability to provide consent, because they're intimidated by his wealth and status.

kind of loving the cube design for an all-digital console.
wasn't a fan of having a disc tray on the top of the gamecube because you still need that extra space above the already tallish console in order to open it up. makes more sense for digital-only consoles, i think.

a little shocking but not surprising considering how script-enabled Blender is.
much like how Excel is often used as a vector for attacks, anything sufficiently powerful and popular and with read/write access to your stuff can be a potential source of security threats.

Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.
