Statement from Scarlett Johansson on the OpenAI situation. Wow. Sama took down sky’s voice because of legal notice. This guy is really pushing boundaries 🤣 Source: NPR tech correspondent- This statement was provided exclusively to NPR by Johansson's publicist, Marcel Pariseau. https://x.com/bobbyallyn/status/1792679435701014908?s=46
Montezuma, Colorado is one of the most unusual towns I've visited. At 10,200 feet (3,100 m) and population of 78, it is both one of highest and smallest towns in America. More than 1,000 people lived there in the late 19th century, but several fires and the collapse of silver mining took their toll.
Today, it's a small hodge-podge of historic buildings and modern ski getaways. There are no bars, coffee shops, or stores of any kind, and the six-dozen residents want to keep it that way.
I would contrast it with the mountain town of Ward on the Front Range. Ward is also small and wary of outsiders, but at least has a general store, art gallery, and a tavern nearby.

Well I worked out a way to back up my photos from my phone directly to my computer. Of course, in the process I accidentally deleted all the photos on my phone with a ill-advised rm -r, but at least the ones deleted are backed up to my computer? 🫠
"ChatGPT consumes a lot of energy in the process, up to 25 times more than a Google search. Additionally, a lot of water is also used in cooling for the servers that run all that software. Per conversation of about 20 to 50 queries, half a litre of water evaporates – a small bottle, in other words."
AI is predicted to consume twice as much energy as the whole of France by 2030
Training GPT3, took 1,287 MWh (Megawatt hours) of electricity.
Give the AI access to your credit card, they said. It'll be fine, they said. Users of Meta's AI powered ad platform automatically burns, though, what should be daily ad budgets in a matter of hours, and costs are inflated as much as 10-fold. 😂
It looks like Framework is going to expand their product line beyond laptops. With a new $18M investment, my hunch is a phone (that number sounds about right for a solid attempt), but my hope (for their sake) is a tablet.
While it would be nice for Fairphone to see some competition, phones are such a complex product that you can easily go down an expensive rabbit hole that's hard to emerge from.
Is it just me or should it be really easy to provide cheap, high-quality static site hosting with unlimited sites on custom domains/subdomains?
I kinda wanna start up a service where people can get that for, like, $12/yr. It wouldn't make me much money, sure, but it would prove a point.
hm. I was saying that as a joke but now I'm seriously considering it. If I were to start up something like that, is there anything here who'd be interested? Would probably need at least a couple dozen people to make it financially stable.
I should probably not have said the Lone Cypress is in Big Sur. Big Sur ends in Carmel, and the Lone Cypress is in Pebble Beach, a ten-minute drive north of Carmel.
A short essay from Matthew Zoller Seitz at @ebertvoices It is irritating how so many movies have to end with a little tease for a potential sequel. Though, there can be unintentional comedy when a movie assumes it will get a sequel, as with Shyamalan's The Last Airbender, or the movie Devil which he produced. https://www.rogerebert.com/mzs/its-ok-for-movies-to-just-end
