  • Lmao Keith in shambles

    I was watching the Novara stream as it was the only one I could find that wasn’t geoblocked, and they made the point that Keith would do really badly in a debate against any other current opponent (specifically Farage or Galloway). The man lacks any charisma - him prattling on about “when I was director of public prosecutions” over and over again, just dreadful. He’ll still win, but he’s going to be the most single term prime minister in history

  • AI is actually coming for your job. It came for mine.
  • This post by Ed Zitron is pretty cogent to me - AI is the last next big thing for tech in its desperate search for continued hyper growth. Tech is essentially cooked, at this point - or at least, the familiar Silicon Valley of the last 10 years.

    There are plenty of comparisons of Nvidia’s valuation to that of Cisco during the dotcom boom. I remain convinced that some of the biggest tech names of the last decade are going to disappear over the next decade (Uber, DoorDash, et al). We’re in a very transitional time and things are going to change drastically, imo

    Influenza A is spiking in the Southern US
    icemsg.org An Odd Time for Influenza A

    This caught my attention today. I’m hoping it’s nothing, but it’s worth looking into more closely. This is influenza A in wastewater at two sites that are monitored in the Amarill…

    An Odd Time for Influenza A

    I posted about this in the news mega, but figured I’d post separately too as it seems potentially happening.gif

    With the caveat from the article:

    > H5N1 is a strain of influenza A. It’s impossible to know at this time if this is what is driving this increase, but vigilance is warranted. Hopefully this is simply all a coincidence or just a statistical anomaly. I watch for early signals to monitor.

    But an apparent surge of flu in April in a cattle production region is…deeply concerning, given the bird flu situation right now.
