Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

Oh oh oh this is gooooood. Judge Wang ruled that communications about OpenAI deleting its pirated books databases are not protected by attorney-client privilege BECAUSE OpenAI tried to claim the reason they deleted them was "non-use." www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...
OpenAI Loses Key Discovery Battle as It Cedes Ground to Authors in AI Lawsuits
The issue has been a major battleground in discovery. OpenAI could be on the hook for hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars if it was aware it was infringing on copyrighted material.

This is really bad!
First - it seems some kind of monitoring and/or database is being kept on community independent volunteers - and then there's the refusal to serve a constituent based on their political views.

There’s lots of interesting detail in this article. But the gist is that Chinese short & medium haul BEV trucks beat western ones on cost even after regulatory upgrades. Long haul versions are cost competitive. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 🧵 cleantechnica.com/2025/11/26/c...

There was a video posted a few months ago that explained what "reading levels" were, and I, up to that point, ignorantly believed that had -exclusively- to do with the complexity of words being read, and not "What information, and how effectively, are you digesting from this text?"
One hard part of the literacy problem in the United States is there are a lot of people -- some of them with college degrees and beyond -- who don't realize that they are bad at reading

I don't know how to reach those people

"No ceiling" results in what we have: a couple dozen psychopaths control several trillion dollars and the power has made them go stark raving mad. They are obsessed with using their concentrated wealth to punish the population and remake the country into a failed state and international pariah.
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely.

They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things.

Only you have the power to kill it.
Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

🧵⬇️
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

One of the major reasons we are here right now is that the white electorate does not reward politicians for making their lives better if that improvement also benefits non-white people.

The GOP (including those who run Mastercard and Visa) has never been the party of small businesses. I think that facade is crumbling at this scale for the first time
always remember the elites don't object to perversion and sex, they use it in advertising all the time. They object to the fact the underclasses have a source of joy and freedom they don't explicitly control and doesn't always result in new consumers and soldiers.
It’s absolutely insane that in America’s late stage capitalism hellscape, where even refrigerators are starting to play ads, payment processors are just like “no porn. That’s where we draw the line.”

They boycotted 381 days.

#BlackSky
The Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted from Dec 5, 1955, to Dec 20, 1956.

It ended after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Browder v. Gayle that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional.

So, 381 days. One week should be doable.
