@basavsen.bsky.socialWatch this discussion between @markjacob.bsky.social and NYT editor Patrick Healy where Jacob calls out the paper for this type of obfuscation and soft-peddling language, and Healy expressly defends it:
Show PostThe vast majority of folks are well aware of the fact that data centers do not really care about power generation costs but, rather, “speed to power.” And well aware, too, that The Breakthrough Institute peddles in disinformation, deflection, & deception, as with this post.
Show PostThe Senate permitting deal is a fight over power, not policy, designed to lock in a capital-friendly political economy and thereby hobble future policy optionality that: ➡️ Directly challenges tech/fossil fuel wealth & power; & ➡️ Is grounded in ecology & community.
Show Postcan't take "LLMs are people" discourse seriously when we haven't even convinced everyone that all people are people.
Show Post🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.
