  There are an awful lot of big words in the Odyssey… not sure he’ll be able to even finish reading it by then. Maybe he should start with the Arthur version — DW does a pretty good job summarizing…

  @onthemedia this week takes on the the shambling, reanimated corpse of 50s/60s right wing bogeyman of communism. This time, with the last actual communist state — Cuba — as somehow the nexus is a global movement that’s controlling all democrats and DSA members in an attempt overthrow US democracy through every element of progressive history, like the civil rights movement (for starters). https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/articles/the-red-scare-but-dumber

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@Dhmspector/116986737847788123 The second part of this week’s show details the utterly immoral and unsafe conditions on Trump’s deportation flights. This depravity of all of this is mind boggling and horribly upsetting.

  For most normal people, if our children behaved like any of these people do, we consider ourselves failures and be ashamed. Personally, I’d be so embarrassed I’d go live in a cave. I mean, really… who raised these people?!? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/white-house-reacts-trump-nap-lindsey-graham-funeral_n_6a690f6de4b098352c2fb748

  Obviously, neither of them legally could run — and it’s clear Obama would have no interest in doing so — but it’s the fact of Obama’s very existence and the depth of his competence compared to Trump that drives them into a frothing frenzy.

  You know what another word for a “singularity” is? “A black hole.” In this case, a monetary black hole where none of OpenAI’s investors escape without their finances being “spaghettified” and compressed into nothingness. https://www.businessinsider.com/sam-altman-openai-the-singularity-agi-prediction-anthropic-nvidia-2026-7

  These are the words of a psychopath: He wants to steal all the water. All of it "Biological limits are real, but digital potential is infinite. If we starve our data infrastructure of cooling resources just to sustain baseline human comfort, we are actively delaying the birth of a super-intelligence that could solve all of our resource problems in the first place. Sometimes you have to prioritise the intelligence that will save us over the biology that slows us down." — Jeff Bezos, Ju...

  RE: https://social.coop/@cwebber/116421159289416290 This is why this current version of “AI” isn’t sustainable. Every single element of what AI companies (aka “hyperscalers”) are building is a non-scalable, consumable resource (GPUs/NPUs, even the data centers themselves, etc) with a working lifetime of 18 months (max due to burnout of hardware or upgrades) but a taxable lifetime of 5-7 years. You cannot make a profit on something that depreciates faster than its ROI and you cannot deduct e...

  I’ve been in this business, writing software professionally, since I started my first software business at 16 in high school on an Apple ][. That’s 45 fucking years. It would never occur to me to steal other people’s code, let alone their likenesses, voices, or art. Just eject these thieving “AI” companies into the sun. These people, and the VCs that fund them, are a cancer on the software industry. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/16/technology/ai-voice-clone-lawsuit.html?unlocked_article_cod...

  RE: https://universeodon.com/@memeorandum/116335906231095024 Remember that old trope from the 70s/80s? “It’ll be a good day in American when schools have all the money they need to educate our kids …and the Air Force needs to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber.”
