I'm planning to move my server to a cupboard. I made a prototype scoop to direct the exhaust upwards - and whoops. 😋 Unfortunately, I don't have a stash of googly eyes...

Pictured: the back of my server. A plastic sheet is haphazardly taped to the exhaust such that it makes kind of a grinning face? Above it, two improvised eyes are visible, fashioned from layered sticky tape. Also haphazardly applied.

Between this, AI lobbyists telling the EU that we can have AI or hit our climate targets in the midst of historic heatwaves, and the extreme increases in carbon footprint over the last few years of the mag7, we kinda have to accept that AI enthusiasm is a form climate denial

Humans are capable of recursive self-improvement. TESCREAL talks about a "singularity"— a machine that learns to self-improve without limit. Using their terms, I sincerely believe the slow-takeoff singularity occurred in 3000 BCE when primates invented writing, which lets us make ourselves smarter.

Sad about SUICA Penguin? Me too! BUT FYI: This is Chiharu Sakazaki, the artist who designed SUICA! She kept the rights to SUICA Penguin, and the license deal is expiring. Perhaps they couldn’t agree on a fee. BUT heres more about her…
