Gosh, I wonder why every government and company everywhere wants to bind your personal ID to everything you do online.

Surely it's about the children.

Not coming after anyone for having opinions that deviate from what the government wants. Perhaps you think trans women are women, or a certain country shouldn't starve its helots to death, or that the government should build affordable rental units.

No, surely it's about keeping children off Facebook. Yep.

I'm still working on this AI data center environmental effects talk (which, let me tell you, is seriously fucking depressing), but I wanted to share the best article I've come across on this topic, in case anyone else is interested in knowing exactly how much to hate slop-AI* use: https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1116327/ai-energy-usage-climate-footprint-big-tech/

(I am using slop-AI purposefully here to mean something you could do with more effort on your part, in a less energy intensive way)

Remember the dullards who said, "But but but... What about clouds? What about night time? What about calm days?"

Meanwhile, here's the real world. And thank goodness.

Also, the jimson saddle needs more pivotal orbality.

"And memory bandwidth is one of the key elements needed for unsupervised FSD. It’s generally a thing that's needed for AI, if youre doing an auto-regressive transformer, memory bandwidth is the chokepoint.'"

All bullshit, all the time with #Musk. I have no sympathy for his investors. The article is great and calls him on his BS.

The CDC has paused testing for rabies and pox viruses.

It's vital we keep a close eye on them as rabies is virtually 100% fatal without vaccination, and smallpox killed hundreds of millions (we really don't want a similar virus returning).

Losing track of these viruses is a recipe for catastrophe.
