Today, in planet-eating machine cult news, OpenAI plans to build 5x 'Stargate' 'AI'-only datacenters, upping OpenAI's energy use at enough to power 5.25M homes.

CEO Sam Altman looks to a day where they can "create a factory that can produce a gigawatt of new AI infrastructure every week.”

Naturally the benevolent "cure for cancer" is cited as an all-justifying prize in all this, as if that really was their end-game

We hate to say we told you so.

When the Disneys and Paramounts of the world cave to Trump, they open themselves and others up to more ridiculous demands from the government.

This is why I have so little respect for the intellect of mainstream economists. How wild it is for a supposedly serious scholar to say this, out loud, in front of gawd & everybody? 🤦‍♂️

'The Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman, who helped publish the original 2012 PNAS article, confessed his disillusionment to The New York Times: “When I see a surprising finding, my default is not to believe it. Twelve years ago, my default was to believe anything that was surprising.” '

It is WILD that we now live in a time where my job as an astrophysics professor has gone from "learn cool things about space" to "try to get someone to hold billionaires accountable for dropping shit on us from orbit"
