"How the mighty have fallen"

Finis: these last two posts on the perils of AI infrastructure here, and social commentary on AI below, close this blog on lessons-learned from my recent travels starting in Kuwait. They are indexed on my AI blogpost here, the featured banner post of my main blog here.

Update 1: just in time, Pope Leo XIV's first major Encyclical on AI & two counterpoints at the bottom.

Update 2: "one more for the road" on an important topic here.

Update 3: speaking of important topics, another dire warning here about what AI is doing in light of this year's AIs going rogue...

So this is how dystopia starts... in great silence

Update 4: two deep dives into data center perils & promises as 'last post 1 & 2'

Update 3: someone of consequence echoed my last point at the bottom.

Update 2: added the Tinkerbell Effect in the middle (HT the US Independence's 250th Anniversary).

Update 1: my next post looks at it from the other end of the looking glass, starting with looking in at an influencer's provocative yet mistaken take on AI.
