This is Checkmate, painted in 1799 painting by German artist Friedrich Moritz August Retzsch. It is often thought to represent Man losing their souls to Satan, but Chess Master Paul Morphy noticed there is still a winning move. The Angel's very pointed look makes more sense; there is still a way out, a bit of hope.

In Spain, one data center of tech giants such as Amazon and Microsoft is emerging. Millions of gallons of water circulate in the centers to keep servers cool, while nearby farmers watch their crops dry due to water shortages. "They are stealing all the water," says farmer Chechu. "Now we also have to compete with billions of companies. That's a battle I can't win as a small farmer. ”

I see generative AI on the web the same way I see forever chemicals in the real world. The effects may not be immediately apparent but they are poisoning mankind. Those who acquired knowledge and skills in the before era will be fine, but newer generations won't have the same reference points to tell reality from fiction. They will search for "baby peacock" on Google and have no reason to believe the actual birds look any different to what they're shown. I find that sad somehow.

With a quote by me. Very happy to see this problem getting traction outside of tech circles: https://www.politico.eu/article/push-for-eurostack-as-eu-us-tech-tensions-grow/

EU-US rift triggers call for made-in-Europe tech

Transatlantic tensions are fueling calls for the EU to wean itself off its U.S. tech addiction. It won’t be cheap.

The rich don’t mind the economy crashing.
It’s their great chance to buy the house you lose for cheap and then rent it back to you.

Remember when people were arrested from throwing soup on paintings to protest #ClimateChange? Yeah? Well I wonder if everyone who wanted them arrested is starting to do the math.

X's legal filing in the InfoWars bankruptcy case is both batshit crazy and also what you'd expect. It asserts that X owns every account, can do whatever it wants with them, and can inject itself into legal proceedings that have nothing to do with it.

This is why it's incredibly important that people invest in platforms that they own, and move toward federated/decentralized/portable, noncorporate social media as rapidly as possible
