Posting old pinned thread from the bad place from April 2021. Feels appropriate as a record of everything we warned would play out.
The thread was edited only for continuity, as an error meant some of the posts were not properly ordered:

I too would probably stop sleeping with my husband if I discovered he had become the scourge of the entire medical profession and joined an openly fascist administration which revels in the same abusive antics as Prasad has frequently engaged in.
OH MY GOD!!! 😱😱😱
A friend told me about this but HOLY SHIT!!!!

The VPAERS naming by @angierasmussen.bsky.social is genius.

Going though my folders and memes of Prasad have been lightweights.
Not anymore.😄

'Grassroots' - nope, it's a surveillance firm whose clients are big tech

For both renewables and data centres, the article blames feral locals rather than corporate wrongdoing, laziness and railroading

I heard there was a secret tool
That you could use if you were a fool
But you don't care for PDF files, do ya?

It goes like this: you click "log in"
A chatbot bubble blocks the screen
Investors thought this feature was a shoo-in
Uh-huh. I don’t doubt it

Your product was strong, but you wanted more
Techbros said "Everything needs an AI core!"
Your greed and gullibility overthrew ya

You put it everywhere and refused to stop
You broke the net with AI slop
And every warning you dismissed with "Hallelujah!"

My Handbook for the Hybrid War Tracker project might benefit from an ".md" format. I can start there. My Case Studies keep growing. See the ZAPAD-2025 chapter for example.

Right now the spreadsheet it refers to has become the Legacy dataset that is the base of the project.

This is really bad!
First - it seems some kind of monitoring and/or database is being kept on community independent volunteers - and then there's the refusal to serve a constituent based on their political views.
This is REALLY bad!!! #auspol

We had the Paris Agreement. Then Race for AI was born. They made a product that is unreliable for real world. They sold it like it would be incredible. They destroyed environment and propped up economy for nothing. Let that sink in. Only a failed species would do this.

Labor’s original FTTP fibre network was future-proof, super fast & world-class.
But under Abbott & Turnbull it was replaced with “cheaper” copper/HFC tech.
Now copper faults, slower speeds & higher maintenance costs are causing dropouts & customer “pain” — exactly what experts predicted.

That’s the point.

LLM owners want exclusivity for institutional expertise, among other things, so they can charge everyone who wants to access it.

Wikipedia is one of their most hated foes since it provides free knowledge to the masses. And everyone should be supporting Wikipedia for that reason.

If LLM data centres that serve generative AI platforms were erased from the Earth…

…we’d be fine.

They prop up nothing of essential value we can’t do ourselves.

If we let them proliferate for a generation, we may lose institutional expertise.
