Paul Krugman:
"deploying $8 billion in capital, the cost of a data center, in a non-AI sector will, on average, support more than 10,000 jobs, while investing that money in a data center will support only around 100 jobs. Or to put it another way, money spent building data centers will, on average, create only around one percent as many jobs as investing the same sum in other industries would have created."

Crypto and AI super PACs spent $250 million on the midterms. In competitive races, their candidates got clobbered: nine losses out of 12 called so far, including Ohio, where crypto spent $64 million and still couldn’t beat Sherrod Brown.

Anyone around who knows or does game development have thoughts or links they could share about what's going on with Tim Sweeney at Epic Games, and this announcement about eviscerating Unreal Engine and stuffing AI in the hole for UE6? It seems like Sweeney's been fully AI pilled and is taking his company with him. It strikes me as bizarre, bordering on desperate, to remove massive systems like Blueprints and the C++ Gameplay Framework in a single major version change, rather than deprecate them and phase them out. But I don't know that world.

This is how do things here in #PacificAsia (CJK + #ASEAN), we find ways to co-exist.
In this case, it's not about pro or anti #AI, it's about finding ways to co-exist with all creators while protecting human creativity and Intellectual Property.
We are diverse & multilingual. We think differently.

The more I read about AI, the more it seems like everyone lands in 1 of 4 camps:
Booster - it's the next industrial revolution, get on board or get left behind
Technologist - useful in certain domains, but the financing/business side is irresponsible
Skeptic - overhyped, a cheap imitation of what people actually produce
Abolitionist - built on stolen work and used by the wealthy to hold down wages
Which is closest to you? If none, reply with yours.
Options: (choose one)
There are no Rogue AIs, no SkyNet and Terminators. There are bad companies and bad actors using AI for their own ends. There is profit at any cost. There are humans blaming AI to avoid accountability. #AI #rogueai #aiagents #aislop #NoAI

Interested in the planning application for the world's largest proposed Data Centre campus in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland?
Here it is, and it includes links to make comments. I haven't done that yet, but will after work.

Just in case someone was wondering what #TechBro controlled #AI #Media is actually meant to achieve 🤔😒

RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/117381410942959608
I boosted this when it appeared but there are a distressing number of people who have just posted their views as replies. In case it's not clear, the way to influence the @EUCommission on #AI and #Copyright is to respond to the consultation, not post aggressive comments in reply to the notice.
Somehow, I knew this was coming. Maybe we really do need a support group for #NoAI people. Gods, I love my offline Drafty Writers Group sanctuary where we just read writing, eat cookies, and talk about anything other than LLM bullshit. It's every. Fucking. Where! *sigh* Linux kernel supremo Linus Torvalds has made clear that he opposes "stupid" AI disclosure rules as long as people understand the code they're submitting. https://www.theregister.com/ai-and-ml/2026/10/14/linux-kernel-devs-drop-obligatory-confession-of-ai-tool-usage/5303140 #AI #NoAI #Linux
I am shopping around for attorneys to sue a couple businesses over their use of AI and automated voice customer service.
Due to my Parkinson's Plus, MSA, I have speech issues and over this past month, at multiple businesses, I haven't been able to get past their AI customer service loop to speak to a human because the AI can't understand me.
I even made an #ADA request for a human worker to the AI prompt.
I am going to sue to try to force their AI to understand an ADA prompt, or offer one, to bypass the AI/voice only customer support and directly connect to a human. #AI
One issue is, I talk slow and deliberate because I have to get the words out and some phrases are slower than others and AI customer support is too impatient to wait and moves on mid-sentence, not understanding my request
