Pretty blah week. Took the week off and some of the next to try and relax and recover. Did take a trip earlier in the week which was cool, but my dad ended up in the hospital for a couple days and I ended up scrapping my other travel plans. Had some work and family drama pop up too so I haven't really been able to relax and find the peace that I had wanted on my time off.

In so far as fitness, its been good still. Went to the gym, worked out at home, or cycled pretty much every day, so its been another saving grace from my otherwise not so great week.

Going to meet up with a couple of old friends today and hope its the start of a turnaround in my fortunes for the rest of the week/month.

You know you are approaching the "the meme is dead" phase of the CEO getting caught cheating when corporations join in it. Oh and now you have AI edits too.

And the grenade. It was probably just chilling, minding its own business when the coppers did what they do best and started harassing it.

Again, he's not winning additional votes by backtracking or playing nice with Zionists.

Also consider that this general election, as of right now, is going to feature two conservative Democrats running as independants, in addition to a Republican. Obviously things can change and Cuomo or Adam's may drop out, but all this means is that "moderate" and conservative votes are going to be split three ways.

I haven't kept up with all the details of the election cycle, but this seems like even more of a reason to push back on the reporter, no?

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago (6 children)

sure everyone here would rather if he gives an answer at all it be "death to pissrael" or whatever but he's still trying to win an election like come on people 😑

But thats the whole point of what I said. That he said "globalized the intifada" is already out there and used to paint him in a negative light and he still won his primary. Who's vote is he going to try and win over by backtracking? The Republicans that already hate him for being Muslim? The Zionist that won't forgive him for saying that in the first place?

What he should have done is flip the question and ask the reporter if its alright for Israel to continue murdering Palestinians. Its not that hard. He doesn't need to make it about what should happen to the state of "Israel", just point out the evil shit they're doing and how his critics are wringing their hands about Zionist tears.

He's mad that his favorite CIA front is getting shutdown. I mean who are they going to move onto next? One of the Jimmys?data-laughing

-Wins primary in spite of the establishment's effort to paint him as an antisemitic Muslim extremist.

-Still feels the need to backtrack and worry about optics.

Integrity is when you ~~spread propaganda~~ tell people that Russia interfered with the 2016 elections.

 

Meta is building several gigawatt-sized data centers to power AI, as reported by Bloomberg. CEO Mark Zuckerberg says the company will spend "hundreds of billions of dollars" to accomplish this feat, with an aim of creating "superintelligence." The term typically refers to artificial general intelligence (AGI), which describes AI systems that boast human-level intelligence across multiple domains. This is something of a holy grail for Silicon Valley tech types.

The first center is called Prometheus and it comes online next year. It's being built in Ohio. Next up, there's a data center called Hyperion that's almost the size of Manhattan. This one should "be able to scale up to 5GW over several years." Some of these campuses will be among the largest in the world, as most data centers can only generate hundreds of megawatts of capacity.

Meta has also been staffing up its Superintelligence Labs team, recruiting folks from OpenAI, Google's DeepMind and others. Scale AI's co-founder Alexandr Wang is heading up this effort.

However, these giant data centers do not exist in a vacuum. The complexes typically brush up against local communities. The centers are not only power hogs, but also water hogs. The New York Times just published a report on how Meta data centers impact local water supplies.

There's a data center east of Atlanta that has damaged local wells and caused municipal water prices to soar, which could lead to a shortage and rationing by 2030. The price of water in the region is set to increase by 33 percent in the next two years.

Typical data centers guzzle around 500,000 gallons of water each day, but these forthcoming AI-centric complexes will likely be even thirstier. The new centers could require millions of gallons per day, according to water permit applications reviewed by The New York Times. Mike Hopkins, the executive director of the Newton County Water and Sewerage Authority, says that applications are coming in with requests for up to six millions of water per day, which is more than the county's entire daily usage.

“What the data centers don’t understand is that they’re taking up the community wealth,” he said. “We just don’t have the water.”

This same worrying story is playing out across the country. Data center hot spots in Texas, Arizona, Louisiana and Colorado are also taxing local water reserves. For instance, some Phoenix homebuilders have been forced to pause new constructions due to droughts exacerbated by these data centers.

 

Found this while I was cleaning up my room.

I thought Milchick's character development was one of, if not the most, compelling parts of season 2. I had been wanting to do a little post/commentary on it, but Afrodizjha does a much better job of putting it together than I could ever hope.

 

Best part is:

The New Orleans Police Department said in a statement that “law enforcement is working to determine applicable charges in this incident.”

They arrested him before determining what he could be charged with.

Death to America

UPDATE: No charges. Still imagine probably spent the night locked up for caring about people being genocided. And I'm guessing the NFL won't be reversing their ban on him from all events.

 

In a rare youtube algoritim W, I got recommended the trailer for the series from Chinese studio Flint Sugar, which is releasing in 2025, based on this short film. Kinda gives some FLCL vibes, at least in so far as the style.

Guess Brian Thompson didn't bring his moral vest to his visit to NYC. Oh wait, that's right. He never had one because his job is to be immoral for the sake of chasing the fantastical ever growing profit margin.

Rest in power, Comrade Castrofidel-salute-big

I'll allow myself to get hyped just this once. Funny thing is I've recently been thinking of rewatching season 1.

“Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews,” Carano wrote online at the time, “How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?”
