Ask the grandmothers that fascist libs put in jail for praying, then get back to us about both sides.

Because this is how you get raptors.

This makes as much sense as having a patent on driving games or shooting games. It is lazy lawfare.

It is especially bad on Wikipedia, where a tiny number of anonymous super admins control the narrative- and they pass their views off like they have no bias. I think every Wikipedia admin should have to declare their name and political affiliation; it would be rather enlightening.

The AI crash is coming. The data centers aren't being built: https://www.wheresyoured.at/wh...

Anthropic and OpenAI will need TRILLIONS in revenue to justify the CapEx, and people aren't buying. Get ready.

How much does this additional strain on the water system end up costing the residents, both in terms of their monthly bills and the later infrastructure upgrades required? The data centers are shifting their true costs to the communities around them.

There was a rash of Bigfoot reports in Michigan in the 1970s. Turns out it was a group of streakers from a local hippie commune. This stuff happens.

LLMs are the simulation of language, but language is not thought. Thought precedes language and then language allows us to share our thoughts. LLMs will always do weird and hallucinatory things because they Do. Not. Think.

We are reaching the frontier where EV can be charged in the amount of time it takes to fill up your gas tank. This was always the bottleneck for a lot of people; time to charge and total distance on a charge. The next few years are going to be very interesting. https://www.techradar.com/vehi...

The summary states that "AISI notes that "GPT-5.5 solved the challenge in 10 minutes and 22 seconds with no human assistance at a cost of $1.73" in API calls." However, there is really good evidence that users only pay 5-10% of the actual cost; the rest is subsidized by VC dollars. What happens when those subsidies go away? https://www.wheresyoured.at/th...

Musk keeps using the term "looting the nonprofit" but the restructuring into a for-profit was done above board with the consent of the board of directors. I get there was drama, but all of it was legal. Don't be mad when other people have a different vision and controlling power.

Apple and Google take a huge slice - usually 30% - for the privilege of you selling the software you made to someone on a device they own. Getting a 'better deal' is entirely relative.

Once you make it legal to tax anyones assets, eventually you tax everyones assets. Give it time.

This is clever and good. It sets up real competition against mega corporations like Amazon. More of this please.

I have noticed that a number of baby boomers have become more and more apocalyptic over the last 10 years and I think I know why. They are now at a stage of life where they must grapple with their own mortality and they are psychologically foisting it on everyone else through apocalyptic visions of the future.
