What a week in AI!

  • Microsoft releases its biggest invasion of your privacy in decades!
  • Sam Altman violates Scarlett Johansson to get her likeness for his digital parrot!
  • Google UX legend Scott Jenson declares idea bankruptcy at Google and panic driven AI development because they want to lock you in faster than their competitors!

This shit is going great!

When Trump openly and repeatedly exclaims that migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” or shares a video calling for a “unified Reich,” he is literally echoing the language of Hitler.

Trump is not a “populist.” He’s not a “strongman.” He is a fascist.

Use the word.

a new article on 9to5Mac comparing the iPad Pro with the upcoming Surface Pro. unfortunately it also conveniently ignores the fact that one is effectively running a super limited phone OS while the other a fully flexible desktop OS.

I hope that this will finally force Apple to allow iPad Pros to run macOS (even virtualized) as all that awesome power is just getting wasted.

If you find your tests are running slower in 2.8.0, don't forget that we changed the parallelization algorithm, and you can revert back to the old one if needed. https://github.com/xunit/xunit/issues/2920#issuecomment-2123176031

Though not serving as Trump’s attorney when he appeared as a witness today in Trump’s trial for criminally falsifying business records, Robert Costello is a lawyer, bound by New York’s Rules of Professional Conduct. Costello repeatedly showed his ethical unfitness, violating the most basic principles that inform the entire code. I’ve screenshot the very first paragraph of the entire code, highlighting the most pertinent phrases. 1/

— your publications are missing one of the biggest stories of what will become American history: how a former President, running for another term, is using the first criminal trial of anybody who has the held the office, to further his own quest to dismantle U.S. constitutional democracy. 4/4

The lead:

“Seafood restaurant chain Red Lobster filed for bankruptcy, succumbing to onerous leases, high labor costs and a disastrous unlimited shrimp promotion.”

So the shrimp promotion is the third in the lead, but first in the social post?

Also: the “onerous leases” were caused by the hedge fund that bought the company in order to make the reataurant lease its own property back. Maybe that should be the headline and socials?

Someone asked about supporting async data sources (for example, a data method which returns Task<IEnumerable<object[]>> because it needs access to async infrastructure).

While this isn't directly supported in v2 (it is in v3), we were able to put together a sample that shows how it can be done in the existing v2 architecture. If you want to do this it would only involve lifting two classes from the sample.

"ChatGPT [prompt] consumes (…) up to 25 times more than a Google search"
https://www.brusselstimes.com/1042696/chatgpt-consumes-25-times-more-energy-than-google

> Making sure your electricity comes from wind, solar or nuclear power is a logical first step. Google itself, for example, says it has been running entirely on green electricity since 2015.

Story misses a crucial point:

👉 The goal isn't just to add green power. The goal is to emit less CO2!

New green capacity needs to replace old dirty stuff. Not be gobbled up by new data centers for AI.

If you got upset at me for pointing out that more people died of Covid under Biden than Trump, in large part because Biden rolled back common sense restrictions that were in place under Trump...

Then you'll hate me pointing out that Trump introduced a 25% tariff on Chinese EVs, and Biden is upping that to 100% tariff.

The US hasn't even tried to make an ultra affordable EV. Not even an attempt!

Instead, we make Cybertrucks that no one wants, and then work the refs to kneecap better, smarter companies, to try and prevent anyone else from being successful at doing it.

Every day, I hear people prattle on about how the US Venture Capital industry is so innovative and forward-looking. Yet of all the billions spent (wasted), none of them were smart enough to fund a company making ultra low cost EVs.

Given that Trump has made it clear he wants Big Oil to finance him as ends democracy and anything we've ever done to fight climate change, this is a good time to say:

If property damage is violence, oil spills are mass violence and should be prosecuted as such. Flint, Michigan is violence. Wrongfully evicting homeowners is violence. Failing to maintain our infrastructure until it collapses is violence. Destroying homeless encampments is violence. Strip mining is violence.

But they're not. After all, if they were, we'd have to do something about it. Since we're not a violent people.
