The more and more I work with locally run LLMs(Because I refuse to give any of the AI companies such as ChatGPT my money) the more and more I realize this technology is not meant for the general public.
It's got extremely specific use cases, and all of the mainstream ones are wrong.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Take whatever good news you can get these days, folks.
In a first, renewables generate more power than coal globally
In a first, renewables generate more power than coal globally
Solar and wind power aren’t just keeping up with global electricity demand anymore – they’re pulling ahead. According to a new analysis from energy think tank Ember, solar and wind combined outpaced global electricity demand growth in the first half of 2025. That shift led to a drop in both coal and gas generation compared to the same period last year. For the first time ever, renewables generated more power than coal globally.

Damn, Visa and Mastercard accidentally proving Crypto-bros point with decisions so batshit crazy that it makes the environment killing monopoly money actually seem compelling in comparison.
Still not going to use it, but I get it just a little more now.

There's no anomaly here. People, globally, volunteer their time to powerful public goods the moment they're not actively terrified that they'll lose their home, their food, and their freedom. Which means that capitalism requires us all to live in fear, always - because it can't compete with free.
“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”

The new Superman movie was so predictable. Like I knew right away that I was going to laugh and smile and get a kick out of Nathan Fillion. Like come on, surprise me at least once. Even the ending, the part where I cried like a bitch who just remembered hope? Saw that coming a mile away.

Virtue signaling can also be the precursor to virtue thinking—the more you perform decency, the more chance it becomes your first instinct. We know it works the opposite way, that being steeped in e.g. fascist shit on Twitter rots your brain; why wouldn’t it be reversible?
my modest disagreement is that i think it is important to signal virtue even if, privately, you are a piece of shit. performing decency is an important part of maintaining the norm that decency is part of a well ordered society.
you are SUPPOSED to signal virtue. The actual argument, such as it exists, is that people are signaling virtue while not actually being virtuous. But you are supposed to signal virtue and BE VIRTUOUS.

Do not bring hatred into your spaces.
Only time a clapback is necessary is when you're fending off invasion.
Otherwise, there is nothing to discuss, banish that shit immediately.

There's a reason block & move on as a tactic on BS has been effective at making a lot of bigots get bored & move elsewhere from lack of attention.
Taking someone's crap opinion that was seen by 1 or 2 people & giving them the attention of all of your followers seeing it only encourages them.
