Did Google, the company currently paying Rob Pike's extravagant salary, just start building data centers in 2025? Before 2025 was Google's infra running on dreams and pixie farts with baby deer and birdies chirping around? Why are the new data centers his company is building suddenly "raping the planet" and "unrecyclable"?

What for? there's already Gemini CLI (https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) for that, unless I'm missing some crucial feature not supported by that.

Gemini and AI Studio websites, and also Antigravity, have generous free tiers (at least for now). Not so much over API/CLI.

Ironically, one good use for that would be to "exfiltrate" entire AI chats from Gemini/AI Studio as Markdown. Doing this by hand is tiresome and Google is obviously not too eager to make it easier (walled garden).

Hope this doesn't end up political... Last time the entire Framework Discord's mod team went on strike because of a controversial sponsorship, and ended with the closure of the discord.

I totally see why Framework doesn't want this toxicity and flamewars.

Note that nothing in the article is AI-specific: the entire argument is built around the cost of persuasion, with the potential of AI to more cheaply generate propaganda as buzzword link.

However, exactly the same applies with, say, targeted Facebook ads or Russian troll armies. You don't need any AI for this.

It has been practiced by populist politicians for millennia, e.g. pork barelling.

I wonder if that's helping the US Navy shoot up fishing boats in the Caribbean or facilitating the bombing of hospitals, schools and refugee camps in Gaza.

Trailbase is the same concept, but written in Rust instead of Go.

Another selling point for Pocketbase then.

I’d argue focusing on wealth inequality is precisely the wrong approach. A better approach would be to look at the quality of life of the poorest.

odiroot · a month ago

This is how you end up with aggressive taxation on middle class, all the while the wealthy are laughing their way to the bank.

Maybe people in UK should de-stupidify their politicians.

odiroot · 2 months ago

The two major parties are both supporters of the nanny state.

Sounds more like people need to de-UK. It's going to be a problem with any company or technology.

odiroot · 2 months ago

There's more good reasons to de-Apple besides just residing in UK.
