"The biggest driver of delay is simple: our power system doesn’t have enough extra transmission capacity and generation to serve dozens of gigawatts of new, high-utilization demand 100% of the time. Data centers require round-the-clock power at levels that rival or exceed the needs of small cities, and building new transmission infrastructure and generation requires years of permitting, land acquisition, supply chain management, and construction."

"your honor, i should be found not liable because what i did was inevitable"

plagiarism machine (Sora app) that created videos of ignoring all copyrights including deepfakes of people is dead. It look like OpenAI is running out of money as banks don't want to fund their plagiarism machine and existing investors demanding ROI. this is so good. i hope the rest of the AI industry dies down too

#ClimateDiary Short overview of my evolving consciousness

2000s: climate change, ecological destruction bad but can be tackled/ a while off/studying this is my contribution

2017-2021: it’s a #ClimateEmergency! We need to act NOW! #Activism

2022-25: it’s a #Polycrisis What will get us first - Climate breakdown? inequality? Fascism? AI dystopia? (Nuclear) war?

2026: Oh, it’s all at once, right now, this is it #CollapseDiary

(and yes i know many of you will have been years ahead of me)
