We did a great podcast this week on the AI bubble and I wanted to delve deeper into the financial risks:
-AI adoption isn't materializing at businesses
-GPUs may burn out faster than companies claim
-lack of revenue and higher costs could cause exits & trigger data center debt defaults

How the AI Bubble Might Play Out - The American Prospect
Investment in new technology always needs startup financing, and if AI is truly God in the machine, wide adoption will pay off over time. But that isn’t materializing, at least not yet.

the current wave of fascist romance having its roots in the wizard kidlit franchise as a sort of palatable skin to drape over the act of thirsting after Nazis and Confederates is... morbidly apt
it's kind of a moral obligation to bully harry potter fans into making them feel insecure with themselves. you don't even have to mention rowling being a snivelling fascist. you can just point out every harry potter fan is a 12 year old who never grew up with poorly developed taste

US policing IS inherently racist and has always been. This is not controversial. The fact that people pretend that it is IS actually the problem. You're welcome.

Speaking as the president of an NGO and as a trans woman: when orgs decide to abandon a group, to sacrifice them, it is not that group’s job to “understand how hard it would have been to fight.”
If trans people hope to survive, it is our job to make that abandonment costly as hell.
Make them hurt.

I want to be clear that I'm not trying to put Jess specifically on blast here - I'm trying to point out that, as a matter of tactics, there is no benefit to, and no reason for, trans people to attempt to understand how hard it would have been for an org to fight for us.

Fascinating: The Trump administration claims that the answer to offensive speech is “more speech” when the offensive speech comes from Tucker or Musk — but when it’s on college campuses, the administration’s answer is to attack civil liberties, due process, and academic freedom. 🤔

If you LISTENED to the trans community, maybe you wouldn't have to "hope"
"“My hope is that the message that the transgender community gets from this is not one of betrayal, but is one of our desire to continue to maintain those friendships and that support,...when that anger subsides the transgender community will know that we stand with them."
Nope, it's betrayal.
