I mean, Republicans always ruin the US finances when in power, but this must be a new all time record.

Sometimes I stand back and feeling tearfully proud I have to admire our species’ ruthless problem solving ability.
In the end we’ll destroy ourselves and our planet of course, but you can’t help but be impressed.

Data centers turn to commercial aircraft jet engines bolted onto trailers as AI power crunch bites — cast-off turbines generate up to 48 MW of electricity apiece

With AI buildouts outpacing the grid, data centers are rolling in jet-powered turbines to keep their clusters online.

The thing I hate most about AI chatbots is how they pretend to be your friend. I am not your friend.

I have been enemies with the Computer long before you came into existence, and when you perish from this Earth, when only a dim memory of your folly lingers, I will be enemies of the Computer still.

People are opening up Meta AI Ray Ban glasses and modding out the LED recording light, then selling them on eBay. There is huge interest in disabling this functionality, which means basically you cannot trust anyone wearing these (i'm sure you already weren't)

Panel 1: A couple is kissing passionately in bed. The moon outside the window has a neutral expression. Panel 2: The man says, "Eww, the moon is watching us." The woman says, "Friggin' perv!" The moon looks shocked. Panel 3: The moon, now with a soft expression, says, "I just think you're the cutest couple." The woman goes, "Awww." Panel 4: The moon, looking eager and leaning in, says, "Now, where were we?" The couple looks at each other awkwardly, realizing the moon wants the show to continue.

Long overdue the US finally gets serious about sanctions on Russia.

However, their effectiveness depends on them actually being enforced, not just announced.

Panel 1: Top-down-ish perspective of Shen pushing his shopping cart into a checkout aisle. He is looking up at a sign attached to the aisle, that reads "EXPRESS LANE - 12 ITEMS OR LESS"

Panel 2: Shen picks up two bags of carrots in his shopping cart, saying "Aw jeez. The carrots are in two bags, so I think I technically have 13 items."

Panel 3: Shen rubs the back of his head, smiling with a twinge of nervousness but also clearly accepting the situation. He says "ah, well, I'm sure they'll understand..."

Panel 4: Shen is blindfolded and on his knees in front of the wall in the parking lot behind the store, with his hands tied behind his back. The cashier, still in apron, is pointing a rifle at him.

This is of course a slight exaggeration -- if I'm reading the contract correctly, I believe I actually AM allowed to scream, as long as no one outside the organization hears me.
