Google announcing that schools banning AI will also lose access to Google Search is a pretty good opportunity to teach the next generation that Google isn’t the internet and that there are plenty of alternatives to its platforms. Maybe it’s time schools started exploring them.

If private companies and CEOs feel comfortable threatening Americans, then those private companies and CEOs shouldn’t be getting tax breaks, subsidies or government contracts.
Google is now threatening America's schools, saying they will turn off their core search functions if schools choose to entirely block AI.

if we launch enough of these (for <$100 each) we'll literary have our own grid. and then can text all the homies via balloon
ALT stratolink.org
We've designed a custom stratospheric balloon platform weighing just under 10 g. anyone can build and launch one by following the docs stratolink.org

Teens are telling their therapists they don’t believe there will be a world left for them when they grow up
My family therapist told me therapists are talking about this with each other because none of them know what to say
I can’t stop thinking about that

boomers were psyopped into thinking nuclear energy was bad but it turns out you can make a nuclear plant that literally shits gold
For every gigawatt-thermal of fusion reactor capacity burning deuterium-tritium, you can produce 2 tonnes of gold per year by recycling the 14 MeV neutrons through mercury.
The economics of a gold-breeding fusion reactor are about half revenue from gold, and half from electricity at current prices.
The natural evolution of technology is to move beyond "chemistry' and into "alchemy" - nuclear sciences that involve the transmutation of elements, at energy scales and densities a million times higher than usual material science, chemistry, and molecular interaction scales.
The first companies to approach this will be targeting things like medical isotopes and enriched nuclear fuel, but there's really no limit. If you think we can make energy too cheap to meter, then it becomes feasible to transmute elements at industrial quantities as raw material feedstock into the economy.
Your thesis really should be that reality is programmable down to the atomic level, and that is inevitable where our technology will take us.

Everyone read “The Lottery in Babylon” by Jorge Luis Borges right the fuck now if you want to understand how gambling allows the powerful to alter reality, make us all think everything is rigged, lose trust in each other, and manipulate regular people into acts of violence

Mexico reintroduced bison in the Chihuahuan Desert after it was hunted to extinction around 160 years ago. In just months, they restored the ecosystem itself.
The bovines have proven essential at regenerating soils, reducing wildfire risk and strengthening biodiversity.

- Characteristics
- Shopping patterns and behaviors
- Spending tendencies
- License plate data with automated readers in their parking lots
- In-store surveillance camera footage
- In-store mobile device location with Wi-Fi
They will collect some of this data with their app, and some will be collected just from you walking into a store or pulling into a parking lot
- Walking into a Walmart their policy lists then use their cameras to get a face geometry as something they may collect
- License plate readers in parking lots with time and location stamps
- If your phone is in their store and connected to WiFi they can log your location
- If you call into customer service they can voiceprint
How the heck is this legal?? We need new privacy laws immediately
