AI needs to be regulated with an energy cap. If you need more capacity, optimise your AI. Don’t just throw more electricity at it.

I like the phrase “flooding the zone with shit”. It even comes with a catchy song that attributes the phenomenon to Steve Bannon.

Have you tried not doing that?

It’s really as easy as not doing that.

The top result is always some AI-gen, 2000-word essay response to a simple yes/no question like “Can a dog eat onions?”

I swear they do it to train us to just use the shitty AI summary of the shitty AI essay.

The bill would jeopardize rideshare services in Colorado “to an untenable degree, and could very well lead to companies that Coloradans rely on exiting the market, raising prices, or reducing the number of drivers,"

What a bizarre statement. If they exit the market, everything will improve.

The multi-desktop thing has been a thing in most Linux desktops since the 90s. Just sayin’.

Hacks that work for me:

• Separate work and home devices. I can only stop thinking about work if I physically boot to another device
• Alarms for all the things. Time blindness is annoying and it means I don’t go into “waiting mode” if I know something will disrupt me at the right time.
• Don’t install social media apps on your phone. I have one for Lemmy, but I use facebook and all the others in a browser. This way they absolutely cannot interrupt me. It’s way better for privacy too.

I prefer DDG, but I hate the news search. 90% of the results are paywalled.

Oh, and sometimes the image search will return a pile of porn for a seemingly clean search request. I once searched for “R34 Skyline” expecting Nissans, and got VERY different results without safe search.
