  • I just saw a video from a local news channel about a different patch of land in Georgia where Georgia Power was given an easement across a bunch of people’s land, essentially cutting these people’s property in half, then they clear cut the forest at the back of their properties and installed some giant transmission line towers also to power datacenters. One young couple interviewed had just bought their property and were planning on using the land to grow food but now they can’t and they also can’t sell because only half their property is usable despite them having paid for the entire plot.






  • Agreed. I think there are tons of businesses people have never heard of because they serve a specific niche and aren’t public facing or household names. I don’t think its easy to launch a successful business but it wasn’t easy in the past either amd we don’t remember all the companies that didn’t make it.

    Regarding ‘honesty,’ that probably depends on the market and what your competitors are willing to do. Its probably a lot easier to run an honest local restaurant than some international finance firm. You’ll probably need to sacrifice your integrity to reach those higher echelons because everyone else there was already willing to do the same.







  • the AI Safety Measures Act creates a framework that will require the “developers of the largest advanced AI systems” (read: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) to provide public disclosures as to their safety practices, report any significant safety incidents, and remain in line with a set of compliance processes. It also creates a channel for whistleblowers working inside AI labs to safely and securely relay any safety concerns they might have without fear of repercussions.

    Whoa this sounds pretty serious. It asks these companies to self report safety incidents and creates a “channel” for whistleblowers.

    That’s some serious hammer dropping. 🙄

    OpenAI and Anthropic both endorsed the bill as it moved through the legislature

    Of course they did because this is just the Democratic version of what Republicans do with regulatory capture. They just like to dress their version up with a facade of “consumer protections” when the law doesn’t actually protect anyone or improve anything.
