I got a preorder for a shirt from my recent "This is Fine" anti-AI comic, giving the rallying cry of "I'll come up with my OWN bad ideas!" going now! It's available in Black or Eggplant/Purple! topa.to/KC

Reminds me of the lady who figured out she had ADHD because she tried cocaine and suddenly found herself with the urge to sit down under a tree and finally read that book she kept carrying in her purse

This is a fantastic new study - I spoke to the Guardian in their coverage of it www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Climate scientists and energy experts have been troubled by the rapid construction of increasingly large and energy-hungry AI datacentres, which are typically powered by burning fossil gas. The researchers did not factor datacentre energy demand into their calculations but found AI enables productivity gains in the fossil fuel sector that result in emissions at least three times current estimates for datacentres. They cautioned that the results were a “directional and structural finding, not a precise forecast”, though the broad relationship held true across every scenario and sensitivity test they ran. Ketan Joshi, an independent climate analyst who was not involved in the study, said the AI sector was “fundamentally hungry for fossil fuels” and that the impacts went well beyond data centres driving fossil fuel use. “Even within some parts of the climate movement, there is still a denial that an unchecked tech industry will inherently boost fossil fuels,” he said. “Simply asking companies to throw a few scraps of cash at renewable projects is not enough to ensure the industry operates safely.”

Well this is startling. Researchers looked at how AI may raise productivity in the energy sector. Across the board, productivity increases for fossil fuels cause a net increase in GHGs. The only way AI causes net GHGs to fall is if renewables productivity goes up 4-5x more than fossil fuels.

Tuhoava kateus on oikeiston ydintä vaikka kuinka aina syyttävät vassareita kateellisiksi. Se on vain projisointia. Oikeiston kateus kohdistuu jopa kaikkein heikoimpiin.

Tutkimus vastaa epäsuorasti myös oletukseen että vasemmistolaisuus pohjaa kateuteen Ja osoittaa että vasemmistolaiset kannattaa tulontasausta riippumatta onko niillä syitä olla "kateellisia" Se on enemmänki ei-vasemmistolaiset jotka kannattaa tulontasausta (vaan) jos niillä itellä vähemmän #tiede

Toimittaja soitteli. 🚨 Nyt on perusteltu, miksi velkajarru voidaan julistaa kuolleeksi. 🪦 Toisaalta haastattelun lopussa uumoilen, että jonkinlainen zombie-velkajarru kuitenkin jää meitä kiusaamaan. 🧟 Sellaista se on talouspolitiikka oikeistohegemoniassa! ➡️ #talous #politiikka

On syytä julistaa velkajarru kuolleeksi, sanoo ekonomisti ja perustelee väitteensä – ”Myös institutionaalinen järje

This is misleading. If you say the Rhine’ s “water levels drop to lowest level since 1880,” that implies that the river was this dry in 1880. But 1880 is just when we started keeping records! So what you need to say is: the river is at its lowest level since records began.

Finns often talk about the concept "sisu" which means you talk like you are tough but you are an abject coward, who will betray a friend a the drop of a hat See the Finnish political establishment's Schengen comments over Ceuta and Melilla

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
