There are so many casualties from uncritical application of the "Worse is Better" philosophy. Local optimization for perceived "simplicity" offloads complexity to users and leads to far more complicated systems. Thanks for solving this problem properly.

Dario is now 2 months overdue on the deliverable that's supposedly in his wheelhouse. He should figure out what's going on there before flitting off to a domain he knows even less about, lest investors might start thinking he's a fraud.

Whale detection is good tech, but there's no reason for it to be called "AI" apart from satiating funders. The term is more a cultural affinity signal than well-defined technology. Purpose-built sensing/detection has been under different field names in most decades and doesn't fit the cultural mold.

Without indemnification, accepting an "AI" response would require due diligence that it is not infringing. With LLMs capable of emitting entire books verbatim from short prompts, that's often going to be more costly than old-fashioned human creation of original works.

Heh, I'm the goof with drop bars and spd pedals even when pulling a kid trailer around town. It's just faster and more fun, plus I don't need to manage another bike. And pulling a trailer up hills sucks without good power transfer.

Meanwhile, financial speculators predict 150 GW in "AI" data centers by 2030. If we take that at face value and calculate typical location-based emissions, we get nearly 1 GtCO2e, which should be doubled if we are to include scope 3. That's 6% of global emissions.

Meanwhile, market-based scope 2 emissions have a bunch of sketchy accounting as @ketanjoshi.co has detailed. ketanjoshi.co/2025/05/31/t...

As soon as you've bought the hardware, you've already incurred more impact than powering it for a normal lifetime from fossil fuels. doi.org/10.1109/HPCA...

"Value" rides exponentials when it's the same company manufacturing the counterfeit legal objections as is "reviewing" those objections.

It's a denial of service attack on public process, and gov adoption of these products is a defiance of public trust.
