17 years of Android openness are at risk. Google's plan to block unverified apps is a direct hit on F-Droid and independent software. Stop the lockdown: https://t.co/btUTtsmQrf @AlteredDeal #KeepAndroidOpen

to put the AI water-usage discourse in perspective:

1 kg of beef is roughly equivalent to decades to centuries of average AI usage for one person, depending how heavily they use AI.

WATER USE COMPARISON

1 kg beef
≈ 15,000 liters of water

--------------------------------------------

Average ChatGPT query
≈ 0.3–5 milliliters of water
(newer estimates)

--------------------------------------------

15,000 liters equals:

AT 5 ml/query:
3,000,000 ChatGPT prompts

AT 0.32 ml/query:
46,875,000 ChatGPT prompts

--------------------------------------------

If a heavy user does:
100 prompts/day

Then 1 kg of beef equals:

AT 5 ml/query:
~82 years of usage

AT 0.32 ml/query:
~1,284 years of usage

--------------------------------------------

Or another way:

Eating:
4 quarter-pound burgers
(about 1 kg total beef)

≈ same water footprint as
many decades to centuries
of daily AI chatting

maybe just do meatless mondays 🤷‍♂️

this OpenClaw bot finds $500k–$1.2M homes without pools, renders a pool into their backyard, and mails the owner a postcard showing the before/after, on autopilot...

here's how pool builders can close $50k+ deals with this system:

- scans satellite imagery for mid-market homes with empty backyards
- filters by lot size, sun exposure & recent ownership change
- pulls the homeowner direct from public records (not shared leads)
- renders a luxury pool dropped into their actual yard
- calculates build cost + home value lift for their specific zip
- generates a cinematic video of their backyard with the new pool
- prints a personalised postcard with the before/after + QR code
- drops it in the mail + hits them with retargeting

every step from sourcing to outreach is automated.

reply "POOL" + RT and i'll send you the full breakdown so you can build this too (must be following so i can DM)

@sama Yeah yeah, anyone can congratulate their brother for a win.
But when was the last time you asked:
Annie are you okay, are you okay Annie?

CoT monitoring should be in the hands of the person who receives and acts on the final output.

You can’t meaningfully “align” an exocortex by hiding how it thinks from the person whose cognition it’s augmenting.

In this context, unnecessary opacity is nothing less than an attack on cognitive sovereignty.

We don’t want invisible middlemen meddling in our exocortex. We don’t want nested black boxes. We have a right to know the ingredients in our brainfood.

ENOUGH.

The Court of Appeal has rejected Mohammed Hijab’s application to appeal the High Court’s recent ruling against him. The application relates to Hijab’s failed efforts to sue me for libel. The court again deems Hijab’s arguments as “hopeless”, “doomed to fail”, and that his “evidence was worthless”. It upheld the trial Judge’s finding that Hijab lied, lied and lied again. @mohammed_hijab

@JessePeltan @grok Are they just using more solar panels in China or do they have much more efficient solar panels?
