It sucks a lot that it's increasing fast, but to put it in perspective, per capita CO2 equivalent emissions (eg. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/co-emissions-per-capita ) indicate that they're not the main offenders; "western lifestyle" should be rethought for much more energy efficiency. Everytime you (generic you) go to fill your car gas tank you're about to emit 200 kg of CO2. Doing it once a week is already 10 tons per year.

@parismarx paywalled article; FT is expensive for many people too

@parismarx always the ones that are all about that "law and order" that always refuse to adhear to the law

@afouxenidis θέλω να γνωρίζω σε τι αδιεξοδο βρίσκονται αυτή την στιγμή τυχόν ικανές αριστερές δυνάμεις για να απαντήσουν και να αντιμετωπίσουν τις πολιτικές της άκρα δεξιάς και του νεοφιλελευθερισμού. Μήπως η άκρα δεξιά/νεοφιλελευθερισμός προτάσσει τέτοια narratives γνωρίζοντας ότι έτσι ακινητοποιεί πολιτικά την τυχόν υπαρκτή αριστερά?

@parismarx After listening to your podcast on Bill Gates, I think it's unfair that he is already out - and proof to the assumption, that his self-propaganda works for him.

@parismarx Musk vs Thiel will be a semi final to watch.

@parismarx OMG such tough choices.

@parismarx If it was by unpopularity, Elon. In terms of damage, Sam Bankman Freed.

@parismarx Me I'm egalitarian, they're all the worst person in tech

@parismarx
Sign in for voting?
Ha ha ha

@parismarx He needs to suffer consequences for using the legal system in this way.

@parismarx And this will convince the advertisers? 🤣 🍿

@parismarx

Ken Paxton has clearly drunk a quart of the Kool-Aid - his press release raises many questions of political bias. For instance, the accusation that Media Matters is an "anti-free speech" organisation, and that AG Paxton seemingly limits his concerns for radical schemes to "left-wing" organisations only. Are right-wing organisations (like TwitteX, run by Leon Musk) not capable of anti-free-speech activity, eg, by use of SLAPP law-suits?

Should they too not face the ire of AG Paxton?

@parismarx Strange problems that don't happen when there's Universal Health Care.

@parismarx Now we'll have to find new jobs for all those folks on the Death Panels...

@parismarx Biggest question on my mind is, how much heat is being reflected back to earth from his menagerie of reflective satellites? #SpaceTrashBoy

@parismarx these satellites will be first to go in any conflict with China. They become garbage and the space junk takes out our own surveillance capabilities. What a complete shitshow this is.

@parismarx @sarahtaber we have options open to us, for instance, nationalizing it. Cease the means of communications brothers, sisters and non-gender comforting individuals!

@parismarx @tommyyum I’m fairly sure we are about 20 years too late to push back on corporate power in the U.S.

@parismarx We need an automatic royalties system. If my web page is included in training the model, then I should get $0.001 for that. Might not matter much to me. But Wikipedia, with 6.5 million articles, would get $6500 every time Google trained a model using those articles.

@parismarx Everything google does is about ads. Gross.

@parismarx got to love the prospect of blue tick purchasers getting the option to hide the blue tick that they are paying for to avoid being mocked. That's peak madness right there.

@parismarx Although I expected things to go downhill, part of me is still surprised that he's managed to do it this much and this fast...

@parismarx It's rather telling that his idea of making the platform "more democratic" is to add a pay to play feature.

@parismarx There really needs to be a massive open database of labeled training data for this stuff. No more repeating the same utterly shit work just replicate this again and again and again. It's not like it even has any direct corporate value.

Then again it'd probably be costly from a legal/restricted access pov, still it feels like a dumb problem that should be solveable

@parismarx Elon musk is a large investor in the company. This isn’t new territory for him.

@parismarx

It's bad enough they're still called "open." For some reason I didn't expect it to get *so* much worse. I should have known better. >:[
