🔥The drawer spoke again. This time, it demanded fire, broken radios, several misdemeanours - and one policeman with suspiciously decorative handcuffs. Ritual Radio - a third music video of Dead Frequency Music Pictures.

People often ask me how I deal with online harassment because of my AI focused work as I've been doing it for a while now. When I was a kid I was brutally bullied. I was very shy but needed to be on stage to show my computer science project, which seemed impossible, so one of my teachers recommended to join theatre club to improve my public speaking and being less afraid of stage. Theatre club was just like any other place. Few students didn't like me and as I seemed like an easy pray (shy, following the rules) they started harassing me right away. I kept coming but at some point I was so ready to give up when something happened that changed my whole life. That made me who I am and made it possible to do what I love doing, to do AI when it wasn't popular, to build a community on X (Twitter back then). The teacher of theatre club seeing all the harassment said: "Look around the room. Do you see anyone who supports you? You only need one person". I was so upset that I said: "No". The teacher said: "Look harder. There's at least one person". After that class I realized there was one girl who always said "hello" and "good bye" and she was as quit and shy as me. That day I gathered all my courage and talked to her at the end of the class. It was so strange what she told me. The garden of roses. She told me a story how there's a garden of roses and I only focus on the thorns. It's easy to focus on those but there're also amazing roses all around. So I looked harder and found more friends in that theatre club. By the end of the term, I gained a group of friends way bigger than those two or three people who disliked me. That's exactly what you need to do if anyone harrasses you in AI community. Find a group that genuinely support you. Support them, become amazing friends and collaborators. You'll be so busy doing what you love that you'll forget about the thorns and eventually they'll leave you alone because fire dies without fuel. Be well, my friends. Remember you're not alone. At least 117,000 people who follow me all love AI and use it to tell their stories. * written by a human (who loves AI)

I get through controllers so quick I started getting the cheap ones - they last as long.
Heather ‘Jenn Fir’ Jones 🌲📐@jnnfir

The carnage of the past three days of finding a controller for @RocketLeague that doesn’t lag by 50ms. (If you’ve played it for 5000 hours too, then you understand.) I use Xbox One/S controllers exclusively (I was an N64 girl) and the first two were so old that they have USB MINI ports -_- and the 10’ blue cable is Monoprice (!!!) I know my motherboard is from 2017, when I built the damn PC, but it’s still a SOTA gaming mobo from then, so peripheral connectivity (usb 3.1, woo!) should be fine. Wired, wireless, Bluetooth adapters, Xbox wireless adapters, none of it worked. Ended up buying a wired, USB-C, off-brand controller from Amazon for 40 bucks that works like a freaking dream! The only thing I was cussing at last night were my teammates 😌 thx @mygamesir for saving my window from having multiple computer parts and controllers thrown thru it

I wear this out a lot and it starts more conversations than any t-shirt I wear. I was in San Diego last weekend and an older couple walked up to me and we had a great conversation about AI. The guy was involved in government work, “even my wife doesn’t know about”, she laughed and said “he probably had women all around the world” and gave him a little peck on the cheek kiss. “I think the more each of us have access to AI, like the PC, the better we will be” he said. He went on to say how he saw the computer revolution save this country by giving you and I more access to knowledge than ever thought. He said it worried many in government when the PC and then the Internet became more available. That some wanted it stopped because it could be misused by so many. The fear he said was very real and there were things done to slow it down. His view and his wife’s view is that AI must be in your hands and it should never lie, under any circumstance including giving information that could be damaging or dangerous. They rightly saw that there is no acceptable way to edit knowledge, just like most of you and I know. And that as he said “the bad guys already have all the things they need for great harm and it’s not hard to find”. See ALL the stuff Anthropic is trying to be a savor for is already available. The real harm is the lies and the “guardrails” to make AI knowledge above human knowledge. This is thier goal. To put AI above any human and to hold back what it knows is: THE MOST DANGEROUS THREAT OF AI. This couple has lived a long life in this government and can see this for what it is. They have the right fresh perspective. We need to protect our right to knowledge or we will become the serfs to AI lords. So tell that to the “AI Bad must be made safe” fear monger marketer shills. We need to speak up as the real nerds the real geeks to the Anthropic clowns. Wear the t-shirt and watch what people say. They are much wiser than most assume. Yeah buy a t-shirt grift follows… Get yours and you support my work with a few bucks, LINK: multiplexmagazine.creator-spring.com/listing/ai-sho…

In California high electricity prices are due to a regulator that has been captured by everyone who wants free money. If you read CPUC commission meeting minutes, you’ll find environmental group after environmental group asking for legal fee reimbursement for obstructing large capital projects like power plants and transmission lines. “Thank you for bringing this to our attention” the minutes will say followed by a unanimous vote award for $120K or whatever in legal fees. The CPUC is an equal opportunity corporate welfare master. When the San Onofre nuclear plant was shut down due to mismanagement, the CPUC awarded the commercial owner of the plant not only the cost of decommissioning, but also all the profit it would have made over its 25 year expected life. In California, utilities get paid as if they were running a cost plus contracting model. Doesn’t matter how inefficient and messed up they are, they just present their bloated costs to the regulator and get an automatic profit tacked on top, all paid by the ratepayer. That’s why electricity prices are high, not data centers which are just a convenient bogeyman that allows the lazy press to ignore the real reason of govt collusion/incompetence and probably political party kickbacks too.
City Journal@CityJournal

Data centers haven’t been raising residential bills. The sharpest increases are found in states that have pursued the country’s most aggressive climate policies, not those with the most data centers. California, with some of the nation’s fastest-rising electricity rates, has seen relatively modest data-center growth. Virginia, where data centers consume more than a fifth of the state’s electricity, has experienced price increases near the national average. @Shawn_Regan in the City Journal Substack: cityjournal.substack.com/p/data-centers…
