You are very small & slow & I am training my cats to eat you; Tina Belcher, but without the kind loving parents. “I’m ok!” Never gives up her dead. Pushing around the weathervane Jesus. My cats have zero chill. “IT WAS BEANS!” “Is it about my cube?”
We have written to Wes Streeting over the fact that his decision to pause the trial seems to have been based entirely on a letter whose author has now been recused due to bias.

Yesterday, a 110MW off-grid AI data center outside of Dublin was switched on - and it's powered entirely by fossil fuels. Developers went with natural gas engines (specifically RICE) to bypass the grid connection queue. They claim the engines "could" be switched to HVO, and that the project will attempt to connect to the grid "when possible". What does this mean for Ireland's climate goals? According to my estimates, this single project will increase the entire country's annual GHG emissions by ~1%. Assumptions: - The project seems to be using Rolls Royce (mtu) 4000 Series RICE which have an electrical efficiency of 44% https://lnkd.in/eRX4PRuf - Modifying the NREL life cycle gas emissions factor with this efficiency yields 656.75 gCO2e/kWh https://lnkd.in/gfgs2X6P - Assuming a 90% capacity factor because AI hyperscale data centers run near 24/7 to recoup massive GPU costs - Ireland’s 2024 GHG emissions = 53.8 million tCO2e https://lnkd.in/ejjRgRpE hashtag#DataCenters hashtag#Sustainability hashtag#ArtificialIntelligence

Ireland's new fossil-fuelled #Petrotech data center will increase Ireland's **total** (everything, not just the power sector) emissions by ~1%
Absolutely nuts. A 1% national increase - for what? Come on boosters, explain why this is worth it 🫠

As for this, no thank you. But I do hope someone else has the time to look at your unverified translations and find all the howlers for you.

Sure, LLMs are useful for:
1. Fraud
2. Plagiarism
3. Cognitive off-loading
Which of those use-cases are you promoting?
We can play this game all day: seek permission for an edge case, retreat to another case when trouble arises, appeal to amiability or tolerance. Two things to note when a conversation gets to this point. First, it’s a misrepresentation: reluctance to grant permission is portrayed as an intolerant move, a wish to take the other’s toys, when it is nothing like that. What do you need my permission for, anyway? Second, it’s a distraction: it moves the conversation away from values and towards a tech-first perspective.

i don’t get why evangelists feel so entitled to positive regard
it’s so much more intense entitlement than any previous “war” we’ve seen before (languages, editors, operating systems etc).
and they don’t even seem to enjoy arguing, they want to be praised and told they’re correct
yes, it's people who have extracted value from ai vs. people who have only seen it extract value from them. i don't think people who have been exploited owe any grace to those evangelizing it to them, which is why i wish enthusiasts would leave the skeptics alone and stop acting like the underdogs
it’s a whole thing
they can’t be confident in their own choices — on some level, they know it’s wrong. but instead of correctly the wrongness, they go out demanding to be told otherwise
So proud to be a part of this project, and to have worked with so many excellent writers. I hope you love it. Thanks, @sandyernestallen.bsky.social for having me.

that doesn’t mean it will the next time AND it doesn’t mean at all that all the edge cases and subscenarios you care about but didn’t think of up front will do what you want. Sometimes catastrophically so.
Natural language descriptions are almost always ambiguous though, which means you’re going to have to provide so much additional context and specifications to get it to do what you *actually* want that you've basically written all the logic anyway.
OR you get lucky and it happens to guess right BUT
Hah, classic CMAJ! "Let's talk about increasing prescription rates of the thing people prescribe for the symptoms that are also caused by long COVID while almost completely ignoring long COVID as a cause and instead panic about 'overdiagnosis'".
Canadian medical journals are becoming a joke.
As a scientist it's just maddening to see the kind of self-important cosplay that passes for rational thought in these journals. WTAF?!? And then they start whining about how it's not fair that the public doesn't trust medical institutions anymore and they need resources to trick them into it.🤯

“6 years ago this week..the WHO…declared the global outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic… [It] has been deliberately erased from public consciousness by the political establishment, even as the virus continues to spread, disable and kill on a mass scale.”
A press release from the Tla’amin, K’omoks, Klahoose and Homalco Nations absolutely eviscerating local racist MP Aaron Gunn for having a tantrum about land acknowledgements
When it comes to press releases, this in the GOAT conversation:
screenshot of press release from four nations with their logos: Tla’amin Nation; Homalco Nation; K'ómoks Nation; Klahoose Nation. March 11, 2026 Chiefs from four First Nations communities are urging the public to please approach Aaron Gunn with no caution whatsoever. He is completely harmless, though momentarily unsettled by the alarming possibility that someone might acknowledge the land before a meeting. Yesterday on social media, the MP appeared to crash out and demand to speak to the manager of land acknowledgements, a position that observers confirm does not exist. Chiefs whose territories make up the riding had two words for the MP - Chillax, Bud. Land acknowledgements have never seized private property, cancelled a mortgage, repossessed a pickup truck, or altered a single title deed anywhere in Canada. They are simply people recognizing the history of the place where they are standing. No one is going anywhere. Canada will survive the brief moment of honesty. Until then, Chiefs across the region continue to reassure the public that land acknowledgements have not, to date, resulted in any land back. Hegus John Hackett, Tla’amin Nation Chief Darren Blaney, Homalco Nation Chief Nicole Rempel, K'ómoks Nation Chief Kevin Peacey, Klahoose Nation

I think a woman can wear what she wants in her own home no matter what a racist robot has to say about it
Something I wonder about - and I’m sure there’s a reason - is whether these rulings could stand up to a lawsuit from someone who is biologically intersex. The anti-trans movement pretends people with complex genetics/genitalia don’t exist, but they have a unique legal avenue, I’d think.
will you also take a human rights approach to the unregulated drug emergency as the Commissioner recommended

No one cares what a comic book writer thinks but if we all stand up and say this is wrong, we have seen that elections can be won, and a lot of people are fed up with Transphobes.
So please, let’s do that and not just shrug this off as another shitty thing in a long parade of shitty things.

I don’t think people who aren’t regularly covering the reproductive rights beat realize how common it is for women to be incarcerated for miscarriages.

Yup. There’s no level of responsibility to sufficiently offset poverty wages.

In 2024 disaffected Dem focus groups: "in 2020 you told us to turn out to protect our freedoms, we did and still the bad shit happened anyway. Now you're telling us that same thing again?" 2025: "Dems say 'fire, fire, fire' but then don't want to break down the door to rescue us from building."
You cannot tell voters (accurately) this is a fascist regime that is hell bent on destroying us - let alone rely on it (as Dems are) as your GOTV while also voting yourselves to enable the regime.
