"Total demand for electricity last year grew by 4.4pc, or 1.3 terawatts (TW), but 80pc of that increase, or 1.1TW, was from data centre growth."

Training data for LLMs = higher energy prices and environmental degradation.

The story goes that Robert Louis Stevenson wrote the second draft of "Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde" in less than a week while buzzing on cocaine. The Rationalists just write obnoxious blog posts.

Apparently newspapers are starting to get rid of mugshot galleries, so he might be lucky.

The combination of these two things is jarring because heroin is a Big Kid drug, not a prestige drug, and how, of course, could a neuroscientist smoke heroin?

Unlike this guy, I have no problem understanding that smart people sometimes like to do stupid things. There are a lot of doctors who smoke. This is not because they know tobacco is secretly good for you.

It was Jann Wenner, former Rolling Stone owner/editor, who said that he only wanted to write about "philosophers of rock ’n’ roll" for a book he wrote called "The Masters".

You know, Joni was not a philosopher of rock ’n’ roll. She didn’t, in my mind, meet that test. Not by her work, not by other interviews she did. The people I interviewed were the kind of philosophers of rock.

I recently got The Secret Public on CD and spent yesterday evening listening to it. Plenty of interesting LGBT+ history and there are some really great songs on there - the 60s songs really appeal to me, especially the girl groups, but there's also some good tough 70s funk and disco.

I don't know if I've been listening to anything that's relevant to Sneer Club.

I don't make the rules, so you'd have to consult whoever does make the rules. I'm not really sure who that is though

Anyone who buys an island is evil sorry I don't make the rules

If you were someone who believed in IQ like a religion, but had just made a stupid and costly mistake, I would hope you'd take a second to think. Maybe IQ isn't everything, and it's definitely not the only thing, that makes people successful or unsuccessful.

Instead he busts out a slur and jokes about having an IQ of 26
