@treypicou @deanwball This post does not spark joy

@deanwball While you are collecting crazy replies you should rip on trains. That’ll bring out some good ones

The sheer tonnage of condescending replies I got re: solar made me realize that the solar and AI communities use the same politically obtuse arguments for their preferred infrastructure. No wonder the rest of the internet hates AI data centers so much. I really cannot emphasize to you enough how bad of an argument this is: “hey, ‘we’ should replace [a bunch of land that isn’t mine that sustains other peoples’ livelihoods and is deeply rooted in their identity], which is pointless and dumb anyway, with [my preferred thing]. That would make ‘us’ better off.” This is what created local opposition to renewables in so many cases. There was no positive story beyond the infrastructure being abstractly “good” for “us.” I used to track the politics of local renewables pretty closely. Beyond similar attitudes and talking points among the opposition, I even see some familiar names and groups. Indeed, a lot of these local data center bans and restrictions I see are also zoning restrictions on utility-scale solar and batteries. All these things have been infected: opaque, foreign, not for you, instead for “us.” I know some will reply that we should change laws to make NIMBYism harder to exercise institutionally. I support federal permitting reform and, what’s more, I would be a big supporter of metropolitan or regional-level planning as opposed to hyperlocal planning. But those aren’t the laws on the books, and even if permitting reform happens, it’s unlikely to stop the kinds of bans/moratoria on data centers and moratoria that are being enacted. You have to deal with the world as it is. I’m still not sure how bad NIMBYism will affect the AI infrastructure buildout. It seems right now as though it might end up being pretty bad. Unfortunately I have bad news: I am aware of no one who handles these politics well here on x dot com. This is an elite signaling platform for the most part, so that’s fine, but I don’t know anyone who handles the politics well IRL either. I am grateful, however, for all the patronizing replies about solar. You made me realize a connection—two case studies in political malpractice—that I hadn’t seen before.: The AI industry is making the same mistakes of the climate left. It was hard for me to see this, because I am “pro-AI” and definitely “pro data center,” whereas I always found myself weary of the climate left. But now I see clearly that the pro-AI community looks to many Americans like a rationalist imposition on their lives from the same opaque “we”—the purveyors of reason, the arbiters of truth, the ones you never meet but who come to your town and tell you that your way of life (corn ethanol growing, say) has been Deemed Obsolete (not “is obsolete in my opinion,” but, “Is Obsolete”)—who brought you the climate movement and so much else. Understand this is political analysis. I’m not trying so much to express my own views as to diagnose a problem in my own “movement” from the outside. Indeed, surveying some of my old work, I can see how it fits the critique I am making perfectly.

@worldylol @DShyKnock what kind of weird fucking response is this what the fuck does his real life job have to do with it

@DShyKnock I did the same thing as you, yet I did not miss it. Clearly, you did not do your due diligence. It's ok, you got your banking job - bigger fish to fry. Here is the clip for you and anyone else interested. x.com/worldylol/stat…

Update from Srtty's ongoing stream: it's apparently a lower half team Can't currently go back in an ongoing livestream to get the clip Toad has also been baiting something about Castle so maybe we're looking at DSG Srtty and Lyon Castle? Also, I would have lost my fake house

@treypicou @LJS527 Just had to quash an urge to post my catchphrase

@LJS527 It’s such an insane ask. “Hey fuck you guys, give me your island. Yall are pieces of shit. Oh, yeah, can you put your ships in the strait of hormuz for us? There are mines and shit. We don’t want to go in.”

Much of this could have been avoided if we (the USA) just treated our allies with respect. I understand the criticisms of Europe, (NATO) and many of them are valid. But I'm a firm believer that you lead by example, not by being an unreliable, unpredictable bully.

@treypicou respecting science? believe it or not, resistancelibposting

the georgetown research/tech/new venture ecosystem is great and is extremely underrated

@Toastyt123 @DShyKnock I would like to call an emergency meeting of Pot and Kettle

@DShyKnock No one wants to see you yap about shit you don’t understand

Glad the worst didn’t happen Now get on that 25th amendment push or impeachment trial because nobody should ever be using the threat of wiping out a civilization as a threat Don’t normalize this shit

@LeeOfLegend @DShyKnock what is you yapping about, david is pretty much always open to discussion on reasonable things and just about the most affable guy I know. "full of yourself" tells me you barely know him.

Since I’m now going to get the “stick to League” comments anytime I bring it up it’s worth saying this 99% of what I talk about will be League but I am not shying away from politics when I have something to say on the matter You got a problem with it or my political leanings? Sucks for you You want me to not talk politics? Too bad, I’m free to talk about what I please Block button has been swift today and will continue to be for those that have heinous viewpoints because I don’t want you part of the community I’ve been building. We can stand on different sides of the isle and talk but there are lines that I draw and that’s that

@jorgelenny47 @DShyKnock banger

@DShyKnock No actually given your league opinions stick to politics

@MedicCasts Being bricked up for 8 hours straight is not healthy

Hour 8 of casting RWF. Boss is dead any pull. This is what it's all about.

@DShyKnock Who? Literally who says that

They say rain to start is good luck #LCS #LetsGoLiquid

@treypicou counterpoint: the art of the deal. checkmate

@BlueMajere1 wanting to protect the sanctity of biopharma is def not resistancelib posting

health tech/biotech/techbio/any industry that works in human health needs to start aggressively policing itself. what are we even doing here

@treypicou You know it's bad when even Trey is resistancelib poasting

Sure there is a law that says the president can’t just leave NATO but have laws ever stopped the president?

@WatersBurner @javihernande14 @hutchinson No you can't. The prequels had fantastic choreography.

@BlueMajere1 @javihernande14 @hutchinson You can do that with every single fight scene in star wars. Anyone who complains about it for this fight (or any really) is being disingenuous.

Saw this on opening night with a packed audience and they lost their fucking minds and ROARED in applause the second they went back to back. Screamed and hollered and clapped when credits rolled. TLJ isn’t perfect but it was a realllllly fun theater experience 🤷🏼‍♂️

@javihernande14 @hutchinson I don't know how anybody could find this scene sick. It's some of the worst choreographed fighting I've seen in the last decade and it's not close. Watch a breakdown of it on YouTube and you'll see how horrid it actually is

@hutchinson I'm a pretty big TLJ hater but I'd admit that this fight scene is sick. The issue with the movie was not lack of really cool visual scenes. You go back to the scene right before this where they kill off the mysterious extremely powerful bad guy and you find the problems.

@ZaidJilani So Camp David in 2000 never happened?

@TrashmanakaaLoL @BlueOtterGG @Ariana__LOL @lolmunchy @Samikintw @Spawwwwn1 @rovexlol @dionrraylol @watchNACL @Beenes_lol Big if true...

@BlueMajere1 @BlueOtterGG @Ariana__LOL @lolmunchy @Samikintw @Spawwwwn1 @rovexlol @dionrraylol @watchNACL @Beenes_lol he demanded we let him do it

@JeremiahDJohns that random iranian island

Who's the main character today? What's dominating your timeline?

@DShyKnock Is this even in English who the fuck are these people

You can not convince 18 year old me that this would ever be a real text that I received

@DShyKnock @NJzFinest 3 people know if you count me smh, always forgotten

Tomorrow, the next chapter begins #LCS
