Pol Pot killed 3 million people. Vought and Musk have him beat three times over.

Software engineer Brandon Li has released yt-media-storage, a tool to store files on YouTube by encoding them as lossless video files and then retrieving them when needed. This sounds like a perfect way to store malware on the site, ngl

Cameron, Ariz. Living on one of the largest swaths of land in America without electrical power, Thomasina Nez's entire life is a scramble to complete basic tasks. To take a hot shower, she must wait for buckts of water to come to a boil on a small propane stove outside her wood framed roundhouse. To make meals, she relies mostly on canned goods because unfridgerated produce rots qucikly in the Arizona heat. Its a struggle to stay warm at night, because she refuses to use her coal-powered heate after its fumes killed her two dogs.

A fierce battle for electric power is being waged across the nation, and Nez is one of thousands of people who have wound up on the losing end. Amid a boom in data acenters, the energy intensive warehouses that run supercomputers for Big Tech companies, Arizona is racing to increase electricity production. In February, the state utility board approved an 8 percent rate hike to bolster power infrastructure throughout the state, where data centers are popping up faster than almost anywhere in the US But it rejected a plan to bring electricity to parts of the Navajo Nation land, concluding that electric consumers should not be asked to foot the nearly $4 million bill.

I know academics who use AI regularly, for work and play, and I'd really like them, and universities, to tell me how they contend with AI's bottomless appetites for power and water.

Is asking ChatGPT to interpret a Xmas song or making it write your syllabus worth this to you?

What happens when the internet disappears? Huge swaths of the web are vanishing. What does that do to our culture?

I'm at @theverge.com today talking about digital decay, link rot, watching my work slowly being erased from the internet, and how it makes me feel like I am fading away.

Oh shiiiiiiit. Well, there is the Medicaid version I think? I'm not sure about that one though.

And unlike normal accounts, accounts pushing you to articles literally make money from bad take click bait bullshit.

I'm pretty sure that's how. You just did it. Just with maybe the wrong audience

So it can be pretty ghetto. But it is a lot less spread out than the Seattle area and traffic is much better
