Well, well, well, x 7, in fact. Saudi Aramco LAB7 banner ad atop story on MIT Technology Review about consumption of energy to produce generative AI responses. Interesting story but more interesting to see who is seeking clicks from its dissemination. Aramco's start-up initiative is named after an oil well that ran for half a century. https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1116327/ai-energy-usage-climate-footprint-big-tech/#fossilfuel #AI #LLM #GenerativeAI #energy

I thought how quaint, backward and 19th century it all was. This current one was on rotation at the website of my old masthead, in Melbourne, today, in 2025. #coal #climatedenial #energy #climate www.theage.com.au

For about two years I subscribed to the publishing list of Fum d'Estampa, a British publisher that printed original translations of works from Catalan, Spanish, French and Norwegian and posted them to me on the other side of the world, with the distinctive cover designs and colophon. Subscriptions were suspended earlier this year, with a few books pending translation. The story does not end there. Now the Texan publisher Deep Vellum has inked a takeover. https://www.deepvellum.org/news/deep-vellum-welcomes-fum-destampa
