As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

Writing this piece has also made me realise that we have little to no idea where these NVIDIA GPUs are going, and the amount of them sold (6 million) doesn't make sense based on any measure of actual data centers in progress, let alone ones that are energised. This whole industry feels cursed.

Steve Jobs himself would not give his kids unlimited computer access.
The number of peeps in Silicon Valley who would pay extra to sign their kids up for this would blow people’s minds.
So may of my friends in tech are seriously critical of AI and want their kids to think for themselves.

The first school to market itself as AI free is going to corner the market on people interested in actually learning. And I would not be surprised if rich families and the children of people creating this tech were the first movers.
My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

America’s plan to protect pedestrians failed. A young woman’s death reveals why.
U.S. officials adopted Europe's Vision Zero initiative, but many cities have seen an increase in pedestrian fatalities despite efforts to improve road safety.

NEW — I'm suing DC Metro Police for the full body cam footage from the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace back in March.
