#Trumpflation is going to hit us all hard as we will all have to pay for rising electric power costs.
Your power bill going up isn't because of more use in your household, it's because of the Billionaire Tech Oligarchs!
They are using the American public to subsidize the power costs of their MASSIVE AI data centers.

We need to stop using a framework of 'ChatGPT killed someone', it feeds into the myth of the system's agency & OpenAI's framing. The right framework to use: OpenAI is continuing to perpetuate an indefinite industrial disaster. The oil pipe is not at fault when it breaks. The company that built it is

Just saw this wildly disturbing advertisement for GalaxyAI, and I'm curious what highlights in your own timeline has enlarged your social circle? Making music/theater have been big ones for me, as well as education (mine and my kid's) and church. Recently also makerspaces and the library.
This isn't the most problematic use for generative AI, but it's up there.
A lot of bad shit is going to go down because lonely idiots decided to make a sycophantic imaginary friend their only confidant.
OTOH, some of this might be replacing going on super-toxic communities for self-affirmation.

LTNs save lives. Lack of LTNs means lives lost, and lives and families damaged irreparably. Yet more evidence that LTNs are needed urgently in more of our city: www.standard.co.uk/comment/ltns...
You can't argue with the data - LTNs are officially saving lives
