Whether or not the quote/assumption is out of context, the mere fact that the Muskrat is contemplating a universal user fee is enough for me to at least activate my bsky invite.
So I'm urging my mutuals to pin their new handles so it's easier to find everyone during the exodus.
Every single day, as more people forget the few times humanity actually came together to fix things, and we get comfortable enough to pretend they never were an issue to begin with, Carrot's rally from _Jingo_ proves more and more true.
Estudio mexicano haciendo anime mexicano sobre guerreros mexicas usando elementos sobrenaturales mexicas en México moderno?
Todavía ni tenemos fecha de estreno y yo ya necesito su merch y libros de arte.
This is how you can tell Gen Z don't read at all anymore. They see a few isolated quips of PTerry's humor and they think that's all there is to him, ignorant of his deeply humanistic themes, the furious satire of our failings, and the great love he had for humanity.
Dawntrail hate is already so forced, but Stormblood haters should have REALLY moved on by now. It's been almost 10 whole years.
People will still be talking about how "Lyse and Wuk Lamat ruined XIV" when we're in 12.0's patch cycle.
Considering the Avatar fanbase lost their collective *shit* and threw a huge tantrum over the dark and adult topics in TLOK, blame Korra for her own depression, and still refuse to see the allegories in how her uncle abused her? This was absolutely the right call to make.
There's something so depressing and ironic about a person on this hellsite blowing up and lambasting others for not knowing the nuances of orientalism history and arguments... and then turning around and describing another person as "Latinx", completely at face-value.
At some point it's necessary to admit that Musk's purchase didn't make Twitter more hostile & toxic. Even normal people were pretty comfortable becoming that that all on their--instant aggression and hostility seem to be the standard first response to the slightest disagreement.
I'm trying to cut back on my Twitter usage for both productivity and mental health, but JFC the things that happen or are revealed the one day you decide to take a break.
I don't know who else from the FFML or the Usenet days is still here AND still follows me, but, DAMN, people.
.@FF_XIV_EN needs to look at this artist's portfolio, and hire him so they can do *right* by Tural the next time we visit that continent, especially in the Mesoamerican-inspired costume direction that was so poor in Dawntrail.
C'mon, Yoshi-P. You can still fix things.
Interesting how the common consensus is that DT (or at least the Turali part) got so much better once the writers actually started using the full cultural context and history of Mesoamerican peoples, instead of the sanitized, "let's not offend anyone" theme park version of it.

"The coalition forming against AI is genuinely strange. Socialists and MAGA supporters, ecologists and artists, nurses and coders – these are not groups that usually find themselves on the same side of anything. But they’ve identified something that the tech companies and their political handlers have missed: The AI industries need to build fast before reality catches up with them. "

Sam Altman just said training AI is like training a human because "it takes 20 years of life and all the food you eat before you get smart."
Let's run the actual numbers he is hoping you will not run.
Training a human for 20 years costs roughly 17 megawatt-hours of food energy. Total. Every calorie. Every meal. Two decades.
Training GPT-4 cost 50,000 to 60,000 megawatt-hours of electricity.
That is 3,000 times more energy than raising a human being to adulthood.
And GPT-4 is already obsolete.
The next model will cost more. The one after that will cost more again. Each generation of hardware strands the last. H100 rental rates collapsed 60 to 70 percent in eighteen months because Nvidia keeps shipping chips that make last year's chips worthless.
Altman is now asking for 10 gigawatts for Stargate. That is the total power consumption of New York City. PJM's last capacity auction fell 6,623 megawatts short of reliability targets and prices exploded 11x overnight.
Schneider Electric projects a 175-gigawatt national shortfall by 2033.
Nobody is debating whether AI works. The question is whether the man comparing a data center to a lunchbox has adequately explained who pays for the grid he needs and what happens when it is not there.
The food analogy is not wrong because it is imprecise. It is wrong because it is off by three orders of magnitude and he knows it.
