As Amy Coney Barrett runs around shilling her new book and denying the fascist constitutional crisis, it’s fun to reflect on how Mexico just seated around 900 judges, supreme court included, in a judicial reform where voters chose their judges directly for the first time in Mexico’s history.

I don't think e/acc is incompatible with any of this. The rationalization that they amass as much profit as quickly as possible so they can later turn around and use that capital for [insert pet cause] has been done before.

I think Meta's Lattice along with the whole ai ad generation story they're pushing is pretty illustrative of what the op is talking about. I dont think the insinuation is that ads are inside the chats *yet* (that's coming, surely). It's that chatting with these models compiles ad targeting data.

i'm so excited to go back to the old days (late 90s and early 2000s, according to the old heads at the dc i worked in) of the utilities calling up these datacenters every weekday at 3pm and paying them to run their diesel backup generators so folks can run their a/c units without causing brownouts.
