This is incredibly on point.

Spot oil prices grab the news, but it’s the impact we’re about to witness to petrochemical and derivative production that should really scare the shit out of folks.

It’s the sort of shock that could ripple through our global industrial economy for many months.

📣 We’re building a new kind of infrastructure for scientific work, where ideas don't get lost, experiments get claimed and completed, and new researchers can hit the ground running. For 40 months, the @matsulab.com has piloted this approach. It's working!

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

A view of the sea from Ayr in Scotland. With wet sand in the foreground, white tipped small waves and a blue but cloudy sky. There are tiny mountains on the horizon.

Beautiful walk this lunchtime in Ayr by the sea. A tad nippy.

Unfortunately, it turns out that writers and musicians weren’t fully persuaded that giving up all their present and future income is a good idea, even after it was explained to them that this was the only way Sam Altman would be able to afford a new lair under a volcano. Last month a consultation on the government’s proposals to give very rich Americans everything they want found they were supported by just three percent of people who wrote in. If the Department for Culture had still existed, someone there would have been able to save time by warning ministers that creative people – many of them instinctive Labour Party supporters – need money to buy food, just like other humans.

FYI:

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.
