£eland ϟϟtanford is how its officially written from now on
few terms and phrases reek more of tech asshole, and the last gasp of everyday neoliberalism, than "agency" and "you can just do things"
I wrote about whether or not you can really "just do things" — a meme that responds to a world in which institutional power is increasingly sclerotic and individual agency under threat from AI thebaffler.com/latest/high-ag…

visited a freshman class at berkeley and got asked a long list of the hardest qs

Tonight, some of the most powerful people in tech will gather in San Francisco to hear Peter Thiel give a secret lecture on the Antichrist. You heard that right. This is the the first of four parts. Bay Resistance is planning a protest. Why is Thiel doing this?

this thread stops short of the real problem with new AI data centers - what happens if the bubble bursts in 1-2 years, and this industry which has a history of lying and fraud leaves the rest of us stuck with the costs of half-built substations and lines?
Some argue data centers should pay 100% of their own transmission costs. Sounds fair on the surface — but that’s not how our electric system was built. Transmission has always been socialized across customers and classes. In defense of data center transmission cost allocation.🧵

all this windbagging and billionaire EA tech yimby funding just to launch another shitty substack
only ways to know something is true in rationalist epistemology: 1. win a nerd duel on lesswrong 2. a betting market says so 3. claim can be deduced from stem undergrad 'first principles'
