When The War Goes AI, The Data Centers Will Be Targets (f/Engadget's Devindra Hardawar) We talk Anthropic, OpenAI, Iran and the mil-tech oligarchy. Children will be sent to protect data centers the way their fathers were sent to protect oil fields

One of the things the Iran War is clarifying is that AI integration into the military will mean that your children will be sent to war in the Middle East to protect the data centers of the Gulf and Israel.

Also, here’s a podcast episode where I talk AI, Anthropic & Iran with @devindra.bsky.social:

Project Hail Mary - Official Trailer
Project Hail Mary - Official Trailer YouTube video by Amazon MGM Studios

Been working my way through Andy Weir's "Project Hail Mary" and it's absolutely delightful. I want to give a copy to all the science teachers I know. (@mainlylurking.bsky.social - keep an eye on your mailbox.)

Watching the movie trailer after some reading has me *extremely* excited about this one.

CPB really shot themselves in the foot here, with DOGE firing the actual competent folks who might be able to do something about this, WHILE ALSO running into a problem that AI - given its hallucination issues - is uniquely unsuitable for addressing.

In terms they understand: "Here's Your Sign."

Is something amiss on the Fediverse/Mastodon today?

social.horrorhub.club is down and @sdforg.bsky.social's mastodon.sdf.org is crawling as well.

Our AI issue is finally out and available for purchase.

My short story, "Altman's Model", is a riff on Lovecraft's "Pickman's Model", where an increasingly powerful alghorithm begins surfacing humanity's dark collective id through initially innocuous interactive paintings.

This is a fun issue!
