I was thinking about the total CO2 and heat produced, maybe even a bit more detailed like estimations about server, network, grid load as well as the attentional and cognitive foot…

imagine a camping trip or a long hike and you didn't bring even remotely enough water; your shoes are extremely uncomfortable and your clothes are all soaked and dirty and you are …

wait, is that why "humanity" redefines and reinterprets words and meanings all the time?

we are an "enforced consent" society, now. mafia tactics like back in the day, now conventionally normalized and established. people are already making "billions" off their custome…

Easy to fix, but it must be done by a front of academics, hackers, engineers and lawyers, which makes it next to impossible because even those with enough time, won't do it. It's a…

find a 4th player or create a game to find/build/grow an independent one within the constraints of the system. make sure it's 'fair enough' as in "no sabotage".

nice write up of things that are only obvious if you spend time with AI. pretty much everything applies to non-agentic AI work, code or not, as well, if you are aiming beyond avera…
