OK, DANG! mostly sucked, as expected -- >70% of the jokes didn't land and the characters were bitter unsympathetic parodies of 2010s-era NYC 30-somethings. But the final episode, where they visit their conservative Asian parents in rural Massachusetts, was GREAT! Quoting @Noahpinion OMG my girlfriend likes DANG! and she's making me watch it Help Related

As I pass by half-mast flags in rural PA, i keep being floored by how universal the love for Dolly Parton was. If anyone needs a delicious book to read, I can’t say enough nice things about “She Come by It Natural” by @sarahsmarsh.bsky.social sarahsmarsh.com

data center road trip // day 6-7 I don't think the data center backlash is about AI being evil or risky — but it does reflect people finding AI uniquely useless for example: is the data center backlash just like the backlash to solar farms? @nicholas_bagley observed that both movements use classic NIMBY playbooks: Facebook groups, FOIA requests, packing city council. both also involve land use tensions between rural towns and state directives. yet the Saline, MI activists I met were pro-solar farms and anti-data center. first, data center deals are more secretive with more NDAs and bigger $$… Quoting @jasminewsun I’m spending the next week driving around Wisconsin and Michigan to get a firsthand view of the data center buildout and backlash am visiting sites, talking to tons of people — tradespeople, activists, planners, residents — then writing up a story lmk what questions I should dig into! solar data centers Related

data center road trip // day 4-5 the AI backlash is bipartisan & showing up in politics in a big way - Abdul El-Sayed brought Bernie and AOC to rally with him in Lansing. all 3 decried AI oligarchy (Bernie with the longest spiel) - in WI, DSA member Francesca Hong is leading the Dem governor’s primary. she hopes to win rural conservatives as the only candidate backing a data center moratorium - a canvasser for Will Lawrence in MI7 told me that 90% of the doors she knocked on Saturday named data centers as a top issue these are purple battleground states, yet pollsters are finding Dems and Rep… Quoting @jasminewsun I’m spending the next week driving around Wisconsin and Michigan to get a firsthand view of the data center buildout and backlash am visiting sites, talking to tons of people — tradespeople, activists, planners, residents — then writing up a story lmk what questions I should dig into! data centers Related

Hosts the Lex Fridman Podcast — long, unhurried conversations with scientists, engineers and public figures. Several of the interviews quoted elsewhere on this site are episodes of it.
I'm traveling the world for a bit, starting with China but then hopping around the globe, anywhere. Open to any adventure. No plans, only a backpack. Hoping to meet & get to know humans from all walks of life. The pic is from a long hike on the Great Wall. For me, as a fan of history, this was an epic experience. In China, first I'm visiting a few big cities & talking to engineers at the heart of China's AI revolution. After that, if feeling crazy enough, I'm hitchhiking (first time) across rural China for a few weeks. Hitchhiking because I think it's the best way to meet rural folks who I wo… China Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
