An interview with Ken Liu and Ada Palmer:
The vast majority of computing power on Earth is human brains, and a huge amount of it is dedicated to worrying about where lunch is coming from tomorrow. If you want to free up computing power, solve poverty.

Bad AI doesn’t smell | Clearleft
The best way to avoid AI mistakes is to run research the old-fashioned way; get out there and run research in the field and complete your own analysis of the findings. It may take a little longer, but truly valuable research is worth the effort.
Twenty years ago today, I signed up for Twitter. Ten years ago, I wrote about the first ten years: https://adactio.com/journal/11436 I can’t say I miss it.

Palaces Of The Crow by Ray Nayler
I really liked Ray Nayler’s The Mountain In The Sea. I also liked The Tusks Of Extinction. But reading those back-to-back gave me pause:
At times it seems to relish in describing the worst that humanity is capable of. It starts to veer into misanthropy.
I said:

Imagining the sci-fi cabal meeting where Adrian Tchaikovsky and Ray Nayler divvied up their assignments: “Okay, we can both do octopuses and crows, but let’s toss a coin for mammoths; loser has to do spiders.”

The Pirate Queen by Ariel Lawhon
This is an infuriating book. So much so that I didn’t finish it.
Don’t get me wrong; I love the idea of The Pirate Queen. Telling the life story of Gráinne Ní Mháille is an excellent premise for some rip-roaring historical fiction. It’s even got an interesting structure alt...

An Cábla agus an t-Amhrán - YouTube
