Whoa anti data center people are anti renewables too who could’ve seen that coming
conputer dipshit@davidcrespo.bsky.social · 7h ago“Michigan is a hotbed of resistance to renewable energy projects. A 2025 review ranks it as the state with the largest number of local restrictions: More than 60 local governments in Michigan passed ordinances, moratoriums, or other restrictions on wind and solar development between 2011 and 2024.”

I think this is kind of interesting how people are framing this as the only important need is external validation (“people liked you better fat!”) and internal validation is something to be ignored and stamped out. There’s a bad lesson in there somewhere.

Hello. If you struggle with maladaptive overachievement, and anxiety about productivity, and you experience relief at the sensation of productivity and difficulty regulating your behavior around demands for you to be productive, that doesn't make you a bad person, and that is not addiction.
Many don't see how much AI has changed recently. Coding agents aren't just chatbots. We can’t deal with the challenges of AI if we don’t understand it. Here's a post to provide some evidence (Claude doing small ML experiments) and form intuitions. davidpreichert.substack.com/p/if-you-hav... 🧵..
If you haven’t recently used Claude Code*, you might not understand where AI is at

Autoregressive Language Model on the 6502 Processor - Matt Beton
A language model on a 1975 MOS 6502 processor, using a tiny Mamba-based language model and custom 8-bit ternary inference engine, used to generate text on a BBC Micro from the 1980s.

FINAL: #RedSox sweep #Dodgers with a 8-4 win. BOS starter Jake Bennett allows 3 ER over 5.2 IP. Bullpen holds the line with just 1 more run allowed the rest of the way. Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu, and Masataka Yoshida hit home runs in the same inning. More: @live.rsnstats.com
Electric Wizard’s Electric Wizard, Come My Fanatics, and Dopethrone. Or the more obvious Black Sabbath, Paranoid, and Master of Reality.
Mia Murphy 🏳️⚧️@miamurphy.com · 4d agoWhat's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)
I don't think this is necessarily a monocausal thing, but we need to confront that "slop" (talking way more broadly than AI here) is popular because a lot of people like it, not because it's being "shoved down your throat"
Max Dubler 🏳️🌈@maxdubler.com · 3d agoI think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.
Back to back HRs and I wish I had our NESN announcers for this

We apparently live in a world where only a single copy of every book exists. TIL!
Duncan Meisel@duncanwrites.bsky.social · 3d agoAI companies are trying to do this, but with human knowledge. It's why they're destroying the books. Wipe out our ability to think for ourselves, then own the means of thinking.
Just got back from Nolan’s “The Odyssey” and am still thinking about the many differences between it and Homer’s “The Odyssey.” For example, did you know that Homer’s version is an epic poem and Nolan’s version is a film?
I love muting people because then they just don't exist to me any more and don't know it
People are so paranoid about genAI that lazy meme formats are now definitely AI, despite being just an image with some text that anyone can throw together in 5 minutes.
Timothy Burke@bubbaprog.xyz · 3d agoI'm not sure why I have to keep telling people this but if you see a mug shot of an attractive woman and some bizarre story attached to it, it's AI generated and a fake story from a Facebook content mill. Stop sharing it!

The Los Angeles Dodgers had 10 hits to the Red Sox’ 4 tonight… At home… AND. THEY. STILL. LOST.
The kid is trying to figure out jokes. Her: “Knock knock” Me: “who’s there?” Her: “Snail” Me: “Snail who?” Her: “A snail with a shell on its head” We are getting there, I suppose.
About 15 years ago there was one for 90s Nickelodeon called NickReboot, it even included a few classic commercials here and there. Even though the shows weren’t actually playing anywhere, the lawyers got to it and destroyed it.

There should be a long German word (although I’ll accept entries from truly agglutinative languages as well) for reading something that describes you so well it’s like a peeping tom caught a secret glimpse of your very soul
Travis@coloradotravis.bsky.social · 4d agoPerhaps you are a PDA warrior caste autist like myself. Either way, well met. 🫡
It’s hard to undersell the importance of ed three dee dot net in our space. Right opinion haver, software engineer and creator of coding harness Polytoken. Turns out he’s using AI.
I need to take ownership of my mistakes. I used computer. I think this happened because I'm a normal person. I know I've disappointed many of my fans who only watch my videos between praying and feeding the hungry. I'm sorry for being such a piece of shit
This article is hilarious. First, panic over a reseller buying used books for destructive scanning by AI companies because they must be rare books, but turns out none are particularly rare, booksellers are happy to get rid of them, and the reseller has nothing to do with AI cos or digitization
The Guardian@theguardian.com · 4d ago‘More than just objects’: Australian book sellers raise alarm over ‘horrific’ destruction of rare titles to feed AI
It's worth noting that it's very disappointing to see Hank Green talk that way and folks take it seriously. Because this "dopamine addiction" stuff is trash science. It's Dr. Phil level bullshit. You scrape it like stale gum off the bottom of the same school bus seats you find Gladwell stuck to.
Mike Riverso@mikeriverso.bsky.social · 5d agoThis is exactly how people talk about gambling and drinking.
!["I need to come to terms with the fact that the level of dopamine I've been getting from interacting with LLMs-with doing more and more and more and more-is not healthy for me or good for the world," said Green. "It is careless, and has disconnected me from where people are on this. I was talking about this with [my wife] last night, and she did not pull any punches. Frankly, neither did [my brother]. Neither of them think I've been being healthy. I need to readjust."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pytxycyhu6ql3flqs2qmkuub/bafkreicmxurcds4n55kttsu4q7lglli5tmelaerxppn4gc5ruutlkdqrvq)
