And that age is going to be very short as it will end with flaming hacks and downtime.

Interesting coincidence with the recent episode of "The Boys"

Ketan Joshi: AI versus the climate - the AI bubble as fossil fuel marketing A discussion with an expert on the nature of powering “AI” data centers.

Yes, You ARE Getting Auto-Rejected According to a viral survey by Enhancv, 92% of recruiters do not use Applicant Tracking System (ATS) in order to auto-reject job applicants’ resumes. However, after reviewing all of the research, journalism, and government investigations into AI-driven HR hiring tools, I have determined that claim to be untrue. Not only are most job applicants’ resumes getting auto-rejected most of the time, but there’s a mountain of evidence that they’re getting auto-rejected for all kinds of hidden and absurd reasons that have nothing to do with whether or not they’re qualified for the job. In today’s video, we’re doing a thorough investigation into why the HR industry wants to convince us that ATS tools are “fair” and “objective” when they’re not, what the research actually says, and how perverse incentives in the corporate world are leading HR professionals to zealously support the active destruction of the American job market (yes, it really is that deep).

The calls for AI "pause" are misleading Sanders, Altman Don’t get fooled.

Big Tech and Big Oil have fused – Call it Fossil Tech (Big Tech data-centers are increasing fossil fuel use and GHGs, while the executives are making prophecies that “AI will fix it")

AI Is Already In Dangerous Hands In other words, whatever they did was seen through the best light, described in the terms of the best parts of the present and the best promises of the future, and given credit as if it had already happened. This is, as they’ve found, a double-edged sword. When journalists will believe (and print) whatever you say, they’ll start believing that the real thing (LLMs) does the same thing as the imaginary future thing (AGI, ASI, golden egg-laying geese), or will do so, even if that thing is bad. … In fact, the very concept of a slowdown runs contrary to everything that the AI industry needs. If NVIDIA is to sell $670 billion or more GPUs in Fiscal Year 2028 or, per analyst expectations, Anthropic and OpenAI are to spend more than $444 across Google, Microsoft and Amazon in the next three years, or Broadcom is to sell nearly $600 billion in AI chips in the next three years, both Anthropic and OpenAI must keep and make their $1.3 trillion in compute commitments and support the development of 10GW or more of capacity, all of which requires them to continue accelerating at a dramatic pace.

Debunking AI Doom: Why Existential Risk Arguments Fall Apart Is artificial intelligence really on track to wipe out humanity by 2050, or are the most prominent doom arguments fundamentally flawed?

Europe’s AI demand could set off nuclear energy boom, says JP Morgan The EU’s goal of ramping up data centre capacity is already driving more investment in nuclear energy projects as the bloc seeks to decarbonise and secure energy security at the same time, says the global investment firm.

I’d love to make a RAID with 2-3 of those microSDs.

managers have been into “remote work” long before workers have.

Unless you’re using that to poison training data, delete that shit.
