Why the #AI #bubble isn’t like the dot com bubble: unlike dark fibre, there just isn’t the demand for data centres within the operational life span of the hardware they require.
Good interview with Ed Zitron

At the end of the day, there just isn’t a single AI product we really want, let alone need - certainly not to the extent we should gamble our entire economy (and climate!) on it.

Almost a year! I'm doing pretty good
🚨Three Chinese astronauts couldn’t return to Earth after space junk hit their spacecraft. Scientists warn this could be just the first of more accidents caused by orbital debris.
The situation is concerning. “There are a lot of people up there,” one source told me.
My story @sciam.bsky.social 🧪
The Australian Space Agency released a cool video on the collaboration between JAXA and ASA, featuring all the favourite things we've dropped on Australia from Hayabusa to the (LAUNCHING-IN-ONE-YEAR 😱) MMX mission 🛰️. BUT KEY QUESTION: can you spot me in the video?
I’ll have to plan a trip around the next open day! I was chatting to someone on the JAXA stand at IAC about MMX and it’s so very cool, especially the sample return aspect.
Same with Ray Hiltons, one lives in NZ (I get his council rates) and another in the US
What if specialized #AI #agents (e.g legal, financial, technical) competed for tasks through automated bidding? Knowledge houses monetize expertise 24/7, businesses get domain intelligence at market rates, economic forces drive efficiency. 🤔
“few would classify the United States as a robust democracy. It is either a democracy in crisis that is barely clinging onto the label, or one that has tipped over the edge into competitive authoritarianism”

I want to discover more cooperatives for essential cultural things that shouldn’t be controlled by the few e.g subvert.fm and resonate.coop
#Ollama with Gemma3:1b is a quite serviceable and performant #LLM even on an M1 Mac - great with DSPy for NLP and nuanced entity extraction
vLLM maybe faster for inference, but the overall ease of use of the Ollama stack is a big win.
Deleted Threads, Twitter, Facebook but allowing myself Instagram and BlueSky as a kind of methadone
A large face-on galaxy in a cosmic tapestry of glittering galaxy jewels. The galaxy nearly looks like a ring surrounding a bright core. A few bright stars pepper the scene, and the background is filled with the smudges of distant galaxies of various colors against the black of space.
Holyyyyyy....I am a tired exhausted puddle on the floor. What a day for @vrubinobs.bsky.social! This observatory is incredible.
Highly, HIGHLY recommend joyscolling around Rubin's Skyviewer. I quite like this galaxy - which is your favorite? 🔭🧪
