hilarious to see an exec at OpenAI accuse other ppl of running a scam based on absurd accounting
The main thing I have to say to the young generation of Americans is that your grandparents and great-grandparents committed a kind of accounting fraud when they ran our country a century ago with social security, and at the time it was a reasonable affordance to grant our leaders, who were dealing with an economic depression and a world war, but nonetheless they did commit the fraud, and they ended up buying all sorts of extravagant things using the fraudulent gains, including what became the thing we now understand to be the high-modern technocratic nation-state, and that is glorious and also bad and all that, but the thing is there’s still the issue about the accounting fraud, whose debt is coming due and is coming due fast.
It is best to consider this with as minimal residue of sentiment as possible, to really sit with it, to stare it coldly in the face.
Unwinding the great fraud of the high modernists is your job, whether you wish it to be or not.

Coal plants will STAY IN OPERATION—it is impractical that baseload power would be shut down when the demand for power is so high. RELIABLE energy is essential for a secure grid!

A lot of smart people who really cared about their work lost their jobs yesterday for no good reason. This country is worse off for it.
told her I got us tickets to "that new ryan reynolds and hugh jackman buddy cop movie" that came out today and would've gotten away with it if not for NPR this morning blowing my cover
what tf am I supposed to understand this technology is that they are claiming to now offer at commercial scale? are they selling 50MW electrolyzers? do they operate a methane reformer + CCS plant?
the coverage of EVs is so weird and backwards. If you read the article, it notes that EV sales grew 50% last year, which is way faster than gasoline vehicles, and the average price of EVs have dropped by 10%.
somehow, this is bad news for transportation electrification??
The shine is wearing off the big EV transition three years after automakers and the Biden administration barnstormed the United States with grand electric plans. wapo.st/4bIPGWl
