I mean, Google harvests data from search engine queries. I doubt that LLM queries honestly leak all that much more information.
The issue is broader, just that people have gotten really comfortable for paying for service by selling access to their data, and I don't think that that's necessarily a great idea. Like, I'm not sure that everyone's fully considered all the ways in which their data might potentially be correlated with other data at scale.
Framework Desktop based on an AI Max 395+ processor with 128GB unified memory running a model locally, then hit /r/LocalLLama or !localllama@sh.itjust.works and ask which LLM models work well with corpse disposal techniques and are trained on long-form literature.
EDIT: Fixed link. Thanks, BB84.
My guess is that most people in the market for a Steam Deck aren't choosing between getting either this or a Deck. Like, different markets.
data centers and supercomputing facilities, which consume voracious amounts of electricity and water
Memphis is on the Mississippi. Evaporating the volume of the Mississippi at Memphis with graphics cards would be a pretty impressive feat.

TENNESSEE FLOW REPORT
August 22 2025
Streamflow levels across Tennessee are currently 92.0% of normal, with the Mississippi River At Memphis reporting the highest discharge in the state with 354000cfs
345,000 cubic feet of water per second is a pretty substantial amount of water.
EDIT: Water has a heat of vaporization of 2.23 kJ/g.
345k ft³ water is 9.7×10⁹ cm³, so 9.7×10⁹g
That's about 2.2×10¹⁰kJ to vaporize it (disregarding the specific heat of water, just the heat of vaporization).
1kJ ≈ 0.28 Wh.
So 6,160,000,000 Wh to vaporize the water going through in a second.
3,600 seconds in an hour.
So at a flow rate of 345k ft³ that'd sink about 22 trillion watts through vaporization alone.

In 2024, the world wide energy consumption was about 186,000 TWhs
8760 hours in a year. So global average power usage is about 21 TW.
If we put the entire world's generated electricity towards heat to vaporize the Mississippi at Memphis, it'd still fall a bit short.
EDIT2: I also inadvertently transposed two digits (should be 354,000 ft³/sec rather than 345,000 ft³/sec) in transcribing the initial flow rate, so it'd fall slightly shorter.
Honestly, while he's at the high end of things, it's not just him. I think that a lot of celebrities having Twitter or similar on a phone in their pocket makes them really prone to making extremely public statements without giving the statements some consideration. I don't remember the level of bonkers statements in 2025 from celebrities constantly flooding conversation in the 1990s.
In all fairness, Trump does do a pretty good job of managing to soak up all possible free media time, which doesn't leave much for Musk these days.
The wealth was meaningless without the attention.
I think that the idea of simplifying a logo is fine, but this drops a lot of the feel.
From an organizational standpoint, it doesn't sound unreasonable to me.
The group will be split into four smaller groups, according to a New York Times report. One group will focus on AI research, another one on infrastructure and hardware projects, one on AI products, and another one on building out AI superintelligence, a hypothetical AI system that could outperform human intelligence on any and all scales.
I mean, they have different skillsets, a fair bit of that is going to be on decoupled timelines, they have different levels of risk, and the technical expertise is going to differ. One succeeding or failing isn't tightly coupled to another doing so. Sure, they all relate to one thing or another to something that has been called "AI", but that's a pretty broad group.
Not directly related, but do you use an actual APL keyboard or use something with an APL input method, like emacs?
To be fair, the actual article text was "adolescents", and someone can be going through puberty at twelve, so the body text is correct. Might have been that a different party writes the headline, and considered it to be a mechanical shortening, as the terms are generally used kinda interchangably.
Good catch, though.
