My basic question for people critical of AI's climate impacts is: There's a product that 1 billion people are using weekly (and let's say another 1 billion people hate). How much is a reasonable amount for that product to emit? What are the general rules you're using to decide?

This quote makes absolutely no sense
I like how Cory Doctorow's only credential to talk about this is that he wrote some science fiction books and he makes sure to let you know about this like he's the reincarnation of Isaac Asimov
Andy Masley retweeted
Just utterly depressing that the Democratic party is about to send someone to Congress who opposes interracial marriage for "woke" reasons, sided with Russia's invasion of Putin, and cannot answer a basic question about prison abolition despite being asked four times in a row

@metalbender_00 lol are you a bot? What is this?
Pretty worried that Mamdani is successfully using said cool vibe to elevate a lot of pretty terrible people
Mamdani seems like a cool dude who really knows how to vibe with all kinds of folks. This second wave of DSA ppl don't have the same vibe. They're going to say a bunch of shit that scares the hoes and will end up hurting Progressives. This will open a huge lane for Rs in 2028.
@metalbender_00 Quit the act, playing dumb doesn’t work here
Like come on. "Why do they call me a radical?" Next to "We got Maoists and Stalinists out to vote" is so transparent x.com/thestustustudi…
🚨 Hasan Piker Says DSA Primaries Can “Change the Trajectory of America” and Usher in the “Decade of Socialism” Yesterday, Piker said Stalinists, Maoists, Trotskyists, and people who normally reject “bourgeois elections” were excited to vote in the New York primary. He then
And I think a lot of dems can see through it, though I wish they'd be more vocal.
Hasan openly hates the USA, supports authoritarian regimes, and is outright supportive of Russia and China. Yet, in public, he tries to whitewash his own views and depicts himself as just someone who "wants healthcare."

This is an extremely weird trend. Apps that resemble food delivery apps, except they don't deliver the food. They just provide the satisfying dopamine hit of getting to scroll food options and clicking a BUY button that doesn't do anything. malaymail.com/news/tech-gadg…
@AStuttaford I do also take the case for risk from advanced AI very seriously to be clear but not because I'm worried about any one industry
AI safety is quickly become a part of the intellectual mainstream

I think if you believe AI is a massive bubble that's about to pop and never return, you should be way less worried about its environmental impacts, because they won't last much longer and reset to zero soon.
Worrying about whether AI can do your job is a blind alley, Cory Doctorow argues. The real danger is AI’s bubble: a speculative fantasy built on convincing bosses to replace workers with systems that can’t actually do what their salesmen promise. jacobin.com/2026/06/ai-bub…
@AGoldmund Like the term AI safety, or take it seriously?
This is great
What if we combine two ideas people hate??? slowboring.com/p/should-data-…
@ProfBootyPhD I think American allies like Ukraine should in fact have more powerful drones and people are mostly just wrong to uniformly oppose that
The data center panic comes to my neck of the woods. Holyoke MA bans data centers. I think the city could've really used the revenue. None of the concerns add up at all. gazettenet.com/2026/06/17/hol…
People seem to have polarized against the general concept of computing. It's true that there are evil tech companies out there, but it's a huge leap from that to assuming every data center is for surveillance
Take this one. Apparently water pollution was a "universal concern" but data centers just don't pollute water to any meaningful degree. People are all way over updating on a few problems with construction.
