WELCOME TO KANSAS 2027
This place is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it!
Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.
This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... no values are here.
What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular party... it increases towards the right... the party of danger is here... right in front of us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
The danger is to the person, and it can kill.
The form of the danger is an emanation of hate.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

We are discussing node prices which have now ballooned into the troposphere because of RAM prices and the looming bubble pop and it's depressing as hell. We get some slight favored access (versus 'sorry, no soup for you') because we're hyperscalar adjacent, but the price is still astronomical.

Reading "Kowloon General Romance" #1 bed. Watched a doco on Kowloon Walled City (the name of which now escapes me) recently and this was recommended.
It's sort of interesting, but it's a very cis romance thing. We'll see if it holds my interest beyond one book.

If anyone has ever wondered whether you can see the implants in my hands, the ones in the 'knife edge' of my hand yes. The ones in between the index/thumb webbing no. This is the edge of my right hand, two xLEDs. My left hand is much the same, although the magnet is higher up and a slightly larger capsule.

The enormous elephant in the room regarding the increasing demands on our electricity grid is simply this: we don't actually _need_ AI. It's not in any way a public need for public good. It's a private and public want. If you turned off every major GAI tomorrow nothing would demonstrably change except for our power consumption would go down and nvidia's stock would crash.
Addendum: I am talking here about the slop machines, which are the drivers of this overconsumption. I fully recognize that generative systems are being used for legitimate purposes and research, I literally help run one of them.
