@LeoR1010 Tack Leo. 💛
Idag använde jag mina krafter till att skriva om att älska en hund.
"Den sista april 2026 på morgonen fick hon somna in. Den 1 juni skulle hon ha blivit tio år. Hon har betytt obeskrivligt mycket för våra liv.”
"Hon har krävt en oerhörd närhet. Och vi har erbjudit den. Hon har sovit i vår säng, suttit i våra knän vid matbordet när vi spelat spel och umgåtts, legat på våra ben i soffan när vi arbetat och tittat på tv. Att lämna henne ensam har inte fungerat, så hon har helt enkelt följt med överallt.”

@iakonkret Exakt så. Det blir tillplattat och intetsägande.
Tidigt i morse somnade vår älskade franska bulldog Rusa in efter att drabbats av akuta smärtor i måndags som till slut inte gick att vända. Jag känner mig trasig och söndergråten. Helvete vilken bedrövelse, saknad och urkraft det finns i sorgen efter en förlorad livskramrat.
Ni behöver inte kommentera detta. Såklart är hjärtan välkomna, men jag menar bara att egentligen tänkte jag först inte skriva något här men sedan kändes det plötsligt konstigt att inte markera händelsen i något av mina flöden.
I juni skulle hon ha fyllt tio år. Nu kryper jag tillbaka in i sorgearbetet, det får ta den tid det tar.
So you want to watch that latest Last Week Tonight with John Oliver about AI?
Why not watch it without unnecessary tracking and without personalised ads 🤓

I don’t think a story gets more USA than this.

McDowell cut to the chase: Did Fletcher remember telling this man that he had gone to get bail money the day before the protest?
His objective was suddenly clear: The city attorney was suggesting that Gamble had gotten arrested on purpose.
If this was meant as a gotcha, things didn’t go as intended.
“I always make sure I have bail money!” Fletcher replied emphatically, as if this should be the most obvious thing in the world.
Did he have bail money on him now?
“Yeah!” Fletcher exclaimed, then gestured broadly. “With this many cops around? Come on.”
The room erupted with laughter. Moments later, Fletcher was back in his seat. Gamble reached back and held his hand.

@leffe Haha, fair enough. 😁
@kolombiken I honestly hardly know how that happened, but I will definitely disconnect it going forward. It works fine without 'app access'.
If Adolf Hitler had launched a bot - ChatGestapo from Open Reich - half the world would be rushing to use it because 'technology is ethically neutral' and 'the future is inevitable'.
I never wonder anymore how so many could be silently complicit, because I'm seeing it happen.
And what the tech führers of today are saying out in the open, regularly and with a straight face, about their disdain for non-white and non-western cultures and people, is not stopping democratic governments from embedding the führers' ideologically driven software in public institutions.
What I see moving fast is not technology itself but rather the dismantling of democracy and the exploitation and abuse of the underserved, marginalized and minoritized.
"Radically technocratic, Palantir’s manifesto frames its tech as a response to the lack of order and security: the belief that advanced technology can and should be used to impose order on a complex, unruly world, guided by those who build and understand these systems.
Let’s reconstruct the argument. The tech imperium that is envisaged here — a Fourth Reich? — is put forward as an answer to a particular framing of the problem: a framing that was already introduced by Hobbes in the 17th century and further developed by Nazi thinker Carl Schmitt. Hobbes held the pessimistic view that without authoritarian order, humans don’t manage to live together. They create disorder, chaos. He justified absolute state authority by arguing that it can restore order. A Leviathan that rules over people. Palantir’s answer to the chaos at the global level is similar. The message to their clients is: make sure you’re the winner, dominate, then order is restored and you’re the one who is in control. Forget multilateralism; become the strongest and impose your order on all others."

Löwengrip skall locka unga kvinnor till Moderaterna genom att misskreditera kvinnor? Fascinerande ändå.

Yesterday’s newsletter from Ed Zitron was a free one. It’s always interesting to follow the numbers that Zitron breaks down in these newsletters.
- Data centers are planned but not getting built (AI compute demand is being inflated).
- NVIDIA Is selling years’ worth of GPUs in advance and warehousing them.
- For every paid dollar to Anthropic, Anthropic is spending anywhere between 8 to 13 dollars. A business very much dependent on a steady stream of venture capital.
- Anthropic uptime is less than adequate.
- Zitron’s theory is that Mythos has been held back due to capacity constraints, not fears of its capabilities.
- Claude source code leaked despite Mythos being scary powerful and apparently not being able to find a vulnerability…?
- AI is very expensive, with companies spending as much as 10% of headcount cost on AI tokens, all without appearing to provide any stability, quality or efficiency gains (or justification for lay-offs).
- Uber managed to blow through its entire AI budget for the year a few months into 2026.
- Microsoft has stopped signing up new paid GitHub Copilot subscriptions entirely (new subscription model likely in the works).
- Zitron makes a strong case for how the AI startups are misleading both investors and the general public about their revenues.

@markisevil Yeah, you're absolutely right. I've just been too curious I suppose. And now that you mention it I'm not even sure I'm certain on how best to do it. Ideally I'd want to pull hardware out of the machine. 😅 Ah, this is how all my projects start…
Our previous dishwasher lasted almost 25 years. A quarter of a century. It just kept working. We took it over from my in-laws. Our current dishwasher (a year old) needs a software update via an app every month. The world is just so devastatingly stupid right now.
