Is this a nuclear threat?
Once again I beg people to think for two seconds about how they use this Star Trek reference.
The whole point was that resistance is NOT futile. That catchphrase was hubris. The Borg were defeated repeatedly.
It's time for some N95 fanfic!
It occurs to me that these have probably all been crawled by AI, and ingested as fact

Anyway I hope this is more successful in BC than it was for Nixon.
Looking forward to brighter night skiing 😎

Some people are getting upset that the new time zone extends light into the evening. But imo virtually everything rewards early risers.
I'm glad to see someone finally throw us night owls a bone!
New post!
Many Americans hold contradictory opinions on the same policies. Question wording effects can swing opinions by 20+ points on immigration, the budget, and transgender rights.
That's a problem for people who interpret polls for a living.

Oh ok
Seeing this narrative really taking off over on X, and even @robshaw.bsky.social spreading innuendo.
This is obviously gonna be a big story.
I spoke to Musqueam Chief Sparrow about exactly this two weeks ago and he couldn't have been clearer that they are NOT pursuing title.
Shameful shit.
Bar graph comparing emissions from Grok's fossil-fuelled data centres to avoided emissions from Tesla's products for the years 2023 and 2024.
Comparison of emissions from manufacturing xAI's chatbot responses (5,127,553 tonnes CO2e) versus all Tesla products (1,056,000 tonnes CO2e) with respective analyses.
*New short blog* - finally (with help) got around to getting a total estimate of Grok's climate pollution 🫠
- Once all fossil gas online, = to between half and all of Tesla's ANNUAL GLOBAL avoided emissions
- Currently, 5x the emissions of Tesla's total manufacturing

Did he meet Jean Chretien?
Introduced my kids to Weebl and Bob. They *loved* it

I'm struggling with the sheer amount of unreality right now

I find this persuasive
I'd be interested to hear from physiologists on this.. I'd have thought other factors would contribute more strongly to blood chemistry. Linear extrapolation is always risky
But blah blah caveats aside it's probably best we don't run this experiment in the first place. Decarbonizing is always right

Well here's a new one. Rising atmospheric CO2 may be turning our blood more acidic, and if we stay on this path, we will start experiencing direct health effects from this in a few decades.
And then you start seeing dueling AIs. It's ridiculous
It's wild how many BC politicians are just using chatGPT to write most of their statements
They all have the same cadence.
Short sentences. Few words. More than a checkmate - a masterstroke.
That's not originality. That's laziness.

...oh wait sorry, slipped into AI mode there.
We 100% do, with the intent being to deter aggression in the first place.
It’s not a distraction it’s a fractal
there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

And if we get it wrong, we could lose privacy and increase criminalization, while ALSO failing to take action that would prevent the next tragedy.
My heart and thoughts go out to the victims of this tragedy, and the entire community of Tumbler Ridge. I recognize it is too soon to have to engage in these types of discussions.
Yet, pieces appear to be moving fast, and where things land could have massive implications.
Our conventional law enforcement apparatus already had their eye on this, without any need to open up chatbot histories
This should be treated like an airplane crash - systematically outline all steps that led to this, and all places where it could have been averted. Then make changes accordingly.
5. In the case of Tumbler Ridge, it has been publicly disclosed that this family was already known to police and had guns both seized and then returned (www.cbc.ca/news/politic...).
Without OpenAI, the system had *already flagged this* but, for whatever reason, sufficient action wasn't taken. Why?
Given all this, I'm deeply concerned that the emphasis of this push for regulation is so focused on pushing for more activation of law enforcement, and not nearly as much on restraining the behaviour of these chatbots in the first place.
4. We know that the explosion of LLM tools has major implications for mental health. It's been noted that there are, at least, possibilities for this to be used for good. But also, serious risks that can be catastrophic.
