Having 24 hour, near-instantaneous access to every bit of information about how the most ethically challenged people alive are actively dismantling the society you're living in is probably more than the human psyche was designed to handle.

A chaque commission, je disais des évidences comme "je ne comprends pas comment on peut justifier d'attribuer cet argent censé soutenir la création originale et l'embauche de petits artistes à des projets qui détruisent et volent le travail des autres ??" et on me répondait "Nous on aime bien 🙂"

On prévient de suite que tout hommage à Jospin de la part de ceux qui ont essayé de déboîter les 35 heures, la CMU, l'AME et l'idée même de progrès par la gauche (aka le ˋ`wokimse`ˋ) est nul et non avenu.

Merci.

“Consumer software that generates text, images and videos are uniquely energy inefficient,” says Ketan Joshi, an Oslo-based climate analyst associated with the Australia Institute, due to the “vast datasets and computational strain of pattern-matching that happens underneath the hood”.

Asking an AI chatbot a question consumes a great deal more energy than finding the answer via simple web search or calculator. It adds extra demand for no good reason, he says, a bit like driving to the shops in an SUV instead of riding your bike.

“You might still get the shopping done, and that single trip alone may not even look all that bad in terms of cost or emissions, but what happens when that’s all of your trips, and when all of society starts doing this?”

Spoke to the Guardian about the idea of quitting LLMs for climate:

-“I see this all as very much part of the tactic of trying to embed these systems into society and instil dependency in a fashion similar to the growth of single-use plastics in the 1970s.”

Three things can be true at once:

1) Maduro was a horrible dictator and Venezuela benefits from removing him
2) Supporting the US illegally kidnapping leaders for regime change is a bad idea
3) Spheres of influence hurt small countries and we should not want that

the reason I'd follow Cat Hicks into hell is this unswerving humanist conviction that actually

people are going to do the best they can

we can help them do even better

and neither avenue is served by thinking less of people

i think that people really underestimate reality that

1) administration has no doctrine, it is really about a single, mercurial, and half-awake man

2) the administration is a constantly churning system with factions that rise and fall contextually

3) might not have happened if trump tower caracas

Russia is deliberately destroying Ukraine’s cultural elite, similar to how the Stalinist regime wiped out a generation of artists in the 1920s–1930s, the Ministry of Culture said

Today, we are once again losing a part of our soul, it added

Donc la France "exprime sa vive émotion" pour la mort d'un sac à merde nazi qui appelait à lapider les homosexuels et faisait l'apologie de l'esclavage, qui réclamait que les les hommes soient propriétaires des femmes et que les exécutions capitales soient diffusées en direct dans les écoles.

There was an elite consensus against transphobia so strong Texas’ Republican Speaker of the House Joe Straus refused to pass a transphobic law, the public broadly agreed, and then a few elite liberals took it upon themselves to make transphobia popular and more or less succeeded.
