Visited LA back in 2010 and a friend of a friend brought me onto the set of NCIS LA for a laugh. We’re chilling in the video eng suite when Frakes pops in to say hi. Turns out he was directing that day and started off with a full crew walk around. Big big green flag for a director.

US tech firms successfully lobbied EU to keep datacentre emissions secret Legally questionable confidentiality clause adopted almost word for word from demands of Microsoft and trade groups

I dunno about y'all but I'm fairly sure we were sold out. Everybody involved needs to be held accountable for this, and the data centers need to be held not just to the same, but to higher environmental standards.

None that I can remember. The past big tech shifts that I’ve lived through happened through mass appeal, not as a push. Smartphones and social media got big because people liked and wanted them.

Nearest I can think of was crypto hype but that never captured the big tech companies.

Willingly detaching yourself from humanity and community is one thing.

Actively benefiting from and celebrating the degradation of quality of life for all humanity makes it muuuch easier to make an exception to the rule of not killing your own kind.

So the thing about the social contract is it really only works if you play along by the same rules as everyone else.

If, as a billionaire, you don’t have the wherewithal to understand that very simple fact then I imagine a guillotine might come as something of a surprise.

"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope."

Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war.

A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic.

Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope.

The article is like ‘the ai told me I look older than I am which hurt, but it then told me what products to buy to fix it’

You are a grown adult being given insecurities by a robot and then falling for the robot doing snake oils salesmen’s tricks

Disgraceful!

The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering.

It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov

And Trump just bombed it...

CAD software. You wouldn’t think it but it’s still entirely sold through “Value Adding Resellers” who are frankly a pack of scroungers. Bugger all changes in the software but it still costs 5-25k per license annually for the version number to go up by one.

Might have something to do with the fact we pay like 4x as much for petrol here as in the USA.

Inverse experience here in Ireland: go to a dealer and say “hey, we’re looking at EVs” and they’re *DELIGHTED*. Margins are good and it’s the easiest sell in the world. Biggest pushback you get is upselling families on chonky SUVs, or suggesting you really want a hybrid.

There’s no rules for this stage of things other than feel your feels and be around your family. Sadly I know the feeling is a roller coaster of intensity and boredom so if you feel the need to express yourself externally but don’t want to dump on family then this is a good spot. No guilt.

Of course I assume that as soon as you get such an open model trained up some jackass will use it as a generative transformer to produce a never ending stream of the weapons grade racism.

And then call it Grok 2.0.
