I posit that the inevitability of AI currently is that there's a massive arbitrage growing between those who do use it and those who don't want to.

It is time to eradicate AI from all educational environments. Find another way. Maybe teach kids about AI like when we learned about drugs in middle school.

There’s such an interesting schism between people on bsky who say AI doesn’t do anything and people on X just posting stuff they’re building with it everyday
It’s almost like the algos reward different behaviors

"especially if AI appears unlikely to live up to its hype" is such a great sentence, it's like they can't say the words "what if AI doesn't do what it's meant to"

FYI Tesla stock has doubled (in under a year) since @governorwalz.mn.gov posted this. He practically signaled the bottom.
Also, Tim Walz has recently ended his campaign for reelection, at the same time the DOJ has launched criminal probe into him over fraud in Minnesota.
Historical flippening.

It's just nothing but Stranger Things posts. Occasionally something cool like an MIT PhD student sharing a paper on frontier AI research, but it's like 20% signal to 80% stranger things noise right now.

Those panels will require 1.8-2.6 million oz of silver. At today's spot (~$77/oz), the raw silver cost alone is $138-200m.
5 years of structural silver deficits
+ finite industrial metals
+ dollar printing
+ subsidize demand
= squeezed physical commodities + miners getting paid and ramping up

When fully executed, the initiative was poised to deliver solar power to 900,000 households nationwide, many of them in rural and underserved areas.
Those homes were expected to save a collective $350 million in utility costs annually, with some families pocketing over $1,000 yearly.

It depends on the scale really.
On X, the API is locked down and expensive, so it’s hard for single user to feed lots images to AI.
On bsky, all posts are open data, so a single user with a script can feed lots of images to AI easily.

Silver bros are delusional. Who is going to buy a metal this volatile? "That will be $36 of Silver" "Oh, it's only $28?" "That's right, only $74"

How much did Stripe spend on crypto infra this year
People have said this ad nauseum to banks about crypto/blockchain for 2 decades and despite acceptance of bitcoin as "another bullshit thing that goes up and down you can trade on" it remains pretty firmly outside the financial mainstream.
No one says to legit business owners, "hey I see there's an underground market selling toxic knock-offs of your product: how will you incorporate the toxic product AND protect your customers against its harms?" But apparently it's fine to make this suggestion to educators with respect to AI.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

How can drawing be hard if it’s incredibly easy to pick up a pencil
I find the idea that you need to know “how to use” AI tools really funny, as if it isn’t incredibly easy to type in prompts and the marketing these tools is that literally anyone can do it
