I was typing, and my editor flagged it as a ‘Strong resemblance to AI text’. Kinda bollox. And, so I rant on my blog – 1984, Minority Report. Even Handmaid's Tale. Handmade, a tale.

Large AI datacenter projects, like OpenAI’s multi-state Stargate project, have such a massive demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) – generating massive revenue at the same time -- that many semiconductor companies have reduced capacity for consumer-level DRAM and SSD storage. As a result, demand may outweigh supply for at least another four years. Read more from @Gizmodo:

Is there a less planet burning #ai coding assistant for #python coding or are the big services what I should be looking at?

When #coding I search a lot so the 10 X more energy per request might be less impactful if it saves me a bunch of search attempts.

I am not a good programmer, I don't do it often enough for that and so I also don't particularly enjoy it a lot of the time. This feels too new like a perfect use case for these tools and a chance to experiment.

"Don't be upset by all this device and internet survielance, it's not a military dictatorship" they used to say before Trump built a personal racist military, and subverted the FBI and Department of Justice, and got military commanders calling his orders the voice of god.

LOL this is the problem with relying on AI tools, as well...

"...His core argument: Tesla is asking humans to supervise a system that is specifically designed to make supervision feel pointless. As he puts it, an unreliable machine keeps you alert, and a perfect machine needs no oversight, but one that works almost perfectly creates a trap where drivers trust it just enough to stop paying attention.

The research backs this up. Psychologists call it the “vigilance decrement”, monitoring a nearly perfect system is boring, boredom leads to mind-wandering, and drivers need 5 to 8 seconds to mentally reengage after an automated system hands control back. But emergencies unfold faster than that...."

Educators have been hit harder than most by generative AI. @brianmerchant spoke with some of the people affected, some of whom have already lost their jobs as a result of AI, and some who are attempting to educate the new generation. "Increasingly my students genuinely do not understand why they should not use AI anyway... what is the point of ‘wasting’ days researching and writing an essay when the AI version will be as good or even better?" says one university lecturer.
