I designed these bozo’s brand and site. The perfect embodiment of the lunacy at the time. Utterly confident of their brilliance. They tried to hire me with stock and ipo promises.
As @baldur said in his lovey article, I told them to feck right off.
Everything has changed.
But nothing much has changed.

TDLR: Announcing Ai data centres and negotiating with Iran are surprisingly similar.
Just take their word for it.

Data Centers Are Military Targets Now
With militaries increasingly relying on artificial intelligence, data centers have emerged as new targets for strikes.
Sam Biddle, March 20 2026,
"The motive behind the attack, according to Iranian state television, was not to block people from ordering groceries or posting to social media, but rather to highlight 'the role of these centers in supporting the enemy’s military and intelligence activities.' Though only #Amazon’s centers are known to have come under fire, a March 11 tweet from the quasi-official Tasnim News Agency listed dozens of regional facilities, including data centers owned by #Microsoft, #Google and others, deemed '#EnemyTechnologyInfrastructure' suitable for targeting.
It’s unclear if the #AmazonDataCenters struck by Iranian drone strikes are used for military purposes or civilian purposes, or both. And it’s unknown if the attacks in any way hindered the militaries of the U.S., Israel, or their allies in the Gulf from using AI or other cloud-based services in their war efforts. But with Amazon, Google, and even Facebook parent company #Meta are all eager partners of the #Pentagon that augment the destructive power of the United States in Iran and elsewhere, server farms may now have the same status as factories building #bombs and #warplanes."

Oh come on. Et tu, @atuin ? I really like you, and at least it's an opt-in feature, but can we PRETTY PLEASE stop putting bloody AI shit into everything under the sun???
A new release is out! v18.13 is probably the biggest set of changes we have released in a good while, read on to find out more. Much faster and better search with the daemon The daemon has existed for a long time, and has been marked as "experimental" for
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Trapped in a simulacrum of my own making, howling to a god who does not exist, robbed of death’s sweet release by my own hubristic decision to permanently transcribe my consciousness into the cloud.

While leading OpenAI, Sam Altman has weathered leaked internal memos, an attempt to oust him as CEO, and widespread skepticism about artificial intelligence’s role in society. The Onion sat down with the entrepreneur to hear his vision for the technology’s future. The Onion: Good morning, Sam. How are you doing today?Altman: Certainly! Here are some […]
I have spent the first actual hours of my day trying to get ArTIficIAl InTEllIGenCe to get all the social media sites i have and parse them for rss, which is great honestly, i get to spend more of my time fixing a problem of putting all my activity on one site so people know im not dead!!
The most annoying thing about the #genAI debate is that there's rabid pro-AI side of people and a rabid anti-AI thing.
And here I am like "guys. guys. The solution is simple. We only use generative AI for the only viable thing it's patently obviously good for right now: randomly fucking around. AND NOTHING ELSE. DON'T DO SERIOUS SHIT WITH IT. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU."
And I get so much hate for that. But mostly from the pro-AI crowd, who obviously don't use *their own goddamn product,* and don't realise *that's the only thing it's good for.*
(I'm also thinking AI is probably good for emerging accessibility technologies! Most of the current AI companies also have fuck-all in bolstering those technologies. So yeah.)
