“With the new year comes a new report of a deadly, puzzling infectious disease.
In a January 1 case study, health officials with the CDC and the state of Louisiana revealed that a ninth metalworker contracted a rare, often fatal case of “welder’s anthrax,” a condition only first described in 2022.”

Fun game for the new year, with color names from github.com/meodai/color... which is a delightful CSV file (as CSV files go)
Guess the color by name
You are given a color name and have to guess how it looks like. The closer your guess is the more points you collect.

A moratorium on new data centers is immediately destructive to the the environment and hurts virtually every other sort of modern computing more than anything 'AI'.
There's a ton of necessary work needed to better regulate the creation and application of new AI technology but this? This ain't it.
There's a ton of necessary work needed to better regulate the creation and application of new AI technology but this? This ain't it.
I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.
The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

I don't know, Aaron. I think we need to take this seriously. In fact, after surveying hundreds of years of history in the past few days, I've written an article assessing the originalist case here:

i am convinced that most people making a strong argument for an ideological presence on twitter simply do not understand what recommenders are or how they work
Part of the problem i feel is that people want to treat Twitter as a Habermasian public sphere when in reality, the ideological skew is defined by Musk
This is probably the worst sales pitch I've ever heard - "join this app, everyone is radicalised, hates you and wants to argue with you" - 99% of social media users don't want an experience that resembles that at all
