For many Americans, there might be a temptation to disbelieve the enormity of what has happened in Gaza, our columnist Lydia Polgreen writes. But, in discovering the true cost of war, “we might find that it’s even worse than we thought.”

I like the problem solving involved in crafting sentences and paragraphs. Why would I let an algorithm do that for me
“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡
Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

Not sure people realize how INSANELY DRAINING data centers will be on our planet.
If you imagine data centers as their own country, they'll rank fourth in global electricity use by 2035 — outranked only by China, India, and the U.S.

From @twyspy.bsky.social “..A.I. reminds me of the story of high-fructose corn syrup. The government subsidized corn production to the point where farmers overproduced it. The big processors needed to find new markets for all that corn, so they devised new products to reach new markets.”
