I was watching some analysis of the anthropic IP and the commentary about the state of the AI market, and it occured to me that the talk of in-orbit datacenters has completely dried up following the SpaceX IPO. Funny coincidence that.

One of the frustrating things about Bluesky*, is that for all the correct posts about Twitter being a misinformaiton hellscape is that users here are often just as bad about sharing misinformation. It's just that it aligns to their views instead. *Or the entire internet, I guess. 🫠

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

I'm not sure if y'all saw a CNN report on how the US had almost started WW3 with China based on fabricated information generated by a chatbot, claiming that a Chinese vessel was carrying components of nuclear weapons. That was an "existential threat" to humanity www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Great rant. Jibes well with where I’ve found the really hard problems in my career. www.netmeister.org/blog/everybo...

"The whole “Oh no, our models went rogue” thing … When a bridge collapses, you don’t analyze whether the bridge was ethical or sentient or why it decided to collapse. You ask, who is the person who built this bridge to be so flimsy?" www.wired.com/story/one-of...

👏🏽👏🏽 Thanks to vaccines, Australia is on track to become the first country to eliminate cervical cancer by 2035 news.uq.edu.au/2026-08-20-y...

Dear Australia: fuel prices are not about to jump. What is about to happen is that you will pay something closer to the real price of oil reliance, rather than forcing your fellow taxpayers who either don't drive or drive less to make up the difference.

Okay so remember the dog who was supposedly cured by a ChatGPT generated vaccine? The dog died from cancer. Sympathies to the poor dog; absolute unchecked sneering at everyone who turned the dog's illness into AI marketing slop, including the journalists involved in this charade archive.md/GwOLs

Another banger first dog today — “Mayor Mamdani is proof that if your political representatives don’t fix stuff, strengthen your community and make people’s lives better it is simply because they do not want to” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wonder whether the Aus Labor strategists are attempting to play chess; concede the CGT discount on non-housing assets to blunt the boomer/murdoch furore once they’ve raged for a bit

The case studies hey

"50% of all of the data centers going in today still use evaporative cooling, not because they can’t move to advanced cooling mechanisms, but just that they’re lazy. They don’t want to redesign their data center, right?"

You know how if you’re hit by a truck, the impact is 10 times harder than from a car going the same speed? Well, EV trucks are about to upend the freight industry, and the impact will be 10 times bigger than from EV cars. The scale of what is coming is HUGE: 🧵 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

do you ever wake up at 3am and think "shit that's a good idea, I better write that down so I can share it later on"

OKAY, PEOPLE, PLACES! WE ARE NOW ON A TIMER TO GET EVERY PERSON ON EARTH INTO APE COSTUMES FOR WHEN THEY GET BACK #ArtemisII

I feel like all the people telling me how smart Gavin Newsom is also told me how smart Elon Musk was ten years ago.

Today in AI: Canada rejected the PR application of a McMaster postdoc from the Sorbonne who works in the immunology of aging because the generative AI being used to process applications (😱) entirely hallucinated her credentials. Everyone involved should be fired. archive.is/ELrCI#select...

such a great piece --->>>

"It's time to call BS on the idea that we can't afford to look after Australians. "Subsidies that largely go to Clive Palmer, Gina Rinehart, BHP, Rio Tinto are growing faster than the NDIS." @rodcampbell.bsky.social on Australia's out-of-control fossil fuel subsidies. #auspol 🎧 theaus.in/3PHIcMu

Someone needs to send an ambulance to X

The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one. #NoBrainer www.theccc.org.uk/2026/03/11/c...

Read the Certrini piece. The premise is a fundamental misunderstanding - Creating software is hard; writing software isn’t. I see no evidence that LLMs provide anything other than an evolutionary improvement in software creation. This comment spells it out: www.citriniresearch.com/p/2028gic/co...

A simple tariff scoreboard: Consumers pay when prices rise; owners pay when margins fall. If you've got a 401(k), then you're paying either way, and the only question is whether you're doing it at the store, or out of your retirement account.

Well done Chris Moans

Cooking hack @crowbar.wtf

who decided to call it Secret Santa when Nondisclosure Claus was right there

I know it sucks that even good, previously totally normal uses of AI are facing backlash, but maybe blame the informed, technically literate people who spent the last few years poisoning the well, not the regular people who are suddenly wary of drinking the water.

when i was invited to the full panel interview for my job, i turned it down i sent an email to the hiring manager & architect, saying i was honored that they would even consider me for this role of a lifetime, but i didn’t think i had what it takes just yet

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Update: Both CBSA and Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree are refusing to show any accountability for the Government of Canada detaining and interrogating a 95 year old Princeton law professor in what appears to be a politically motivated abuse of power

I don’t mind the idea of AI doing my dishes because that’s the stuff I want to be disrupted. But it doesn’t have to look human to do this! Look at our little roombas. They do a good little job, and should they turn evil, and it would be hard for them to punch us in the face.

It's Whitlam season, enjoy. (Additional context: article author John Menadue worked under both Gough Whitlam and Rupert Murdoch, so when he speaks... it pays to listen) johnmenadue.com/post/2025/11...

This came across my timeline again, so I'm going to reiterate that our investors are going to need you to stop telling the truth...

we are in a self-awareness crisis

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!
