There are many levels of "naked": underwear only, no clothing at all & the highest level of (human) nakedness: only wearing socks.
Then we have the glass frogs of Family Centrolenidae, who take it to the next level: visible organs.

Read this yesterday, and what's particularly annoying is how close this comes at times. ".. substituted “rationalism” and “AGI” for a coherent theology of Progress" .. like, yes? Go on, you had something there. Then it turned into feeling worried that the leviathan might not always favor you.

And, on top of all this, actively hate and try to drive away anyone who is well connected to what is happening, does have insider tips, is capable of basic reasoning, values the truth over their immediate feelings, and admits when they don't know. They literally send such people death threats.
BlueSky is fundamentally a low information network full of people who are not well connected to what is happening, do not have insider tips, are largely not capable of basic reasoning, do not value the truth over their immediate feelings, and habitually confabulate rather than admit they don't know.

I think the key word here is "and": So-called "AI" systems don't do what is advertised AND involve labor exploitation AND perpetuate biases AND are environmentally ruinous.

I think this highlights two things for folks who hate AI and want to stop massive data center expansion
First: when we're talking about AI, it's a mistake to lead with the environmental impact.
It's a bad frame, bc it implies that if the numbers were different, it would be ok. But it wouldn't.

new from me: are data centers going to wipe out water supplies? how much water does ChatGPT really use? and what's going on with that big correction in Empire of AI?
i went long on the conversation around AI and water, and how it's actually about what we want resources to be used for:

I think Miller is basically the one person in the administration who thinks that all elections are over forever and he's in charge, so it makes a certain amount of sense he's acting like this.
That Miller reportedly wants Noem gone because she's not being aggressive enough really shows how high on their own supply these guys are. What they're doing is already historically unpopular, and they want to do it even harder.
i am skeptical trump would actually go through with this, even if miller wants it, but i am even *more* skeptical of the idea that youngkin would take the job.

Apparently every Chinese academic in any field of “interest” to the PLA is getting their visa rejected for, more or less, presumptively being a spy. My friend’s visa is denied because she studies “neuroscience.” What she actually studies is jaw pain - but ICE is flatly rejecting all appeals.
