Luckily, I'm smart enough to realize that if the "most dangerous" LLMs need warehouses full of GPUs to function, they can't just "break out" and start running on random PCs.17 Sep 2026 17:47 +0000at://did:plc:dr6cavavqbbtzeknnl76tp54/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvq7kfbo622bhttps://bsky.app/profile/techconnectify.bsky.social/post/3mvnl2pgzgc2yGonna go out on a limb and suggest the loudest voices in the tech industry have very little grasp of the variety and complexity of the world outside their own industry, with a side dish of not understanding that to most people step one in furniture shopping is not "buy a CNC router and lathe"16 Sep 2026 16:35 +0000at://did:plc:dr6cavavqbbtzeknnl76tp54/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvnl2pgzgc2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/techconnectify.bsky.social/post/3mvljdfctv22pPolitics-watchers have long been exasperated by those with leverage to make things better but who refuse to use that leverage, but my read has been the general public hasn't picked up on this particular problem.

And part of me wonders if society feels like it's cracking because we're being told this isn't important anymore.11 Sep 2026 19:43 +0000at://did:plc:dr6cavavqbbtzeknnl76tp54/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvbd7lxpqs27https://bsky.app/profile/techconnectify.bsky.social/post/3mvb4odes6k2lI was young enough that my memories are vague, so a lot of this had to be recontextualized as I got older but yes. Definitely remember the "support our troops" ribbons being fucking everywhere. I was too young to understand the gravity of it but everyone was going along.

People may not realize it when they demand this feature, but what they're saying is "I will not buy a car which requires an ongoing subscription to remain fully functional" and it is a good sign GM may be responding to that. https://carbuzz.com/gm-not-completely-killing-carplay-android-auto/09 Sep 2026 00:40 +0000at://did:plc:dr6cavavqbbtzeknnl76tp54/app.bsky.feed.post/3mv2cfxzef22ghttps://bsky.app/profile/techconnectify.bsky.social/post/3muxrfciebs2eYup. Either politicians do not believe they can successfully convince their constituents to trust their increased tax burden will be more than offset by decreases in other costs like, say private health insurance premiums, or they simply do not want to make that argument. But they should.

Saw an anti-solar screed citing all the toxic compounds in solar panels. Writer of said screed doesn't understand most panels don't use those compounds!05 Sep 2026 18:03 +0000at://did:plc:dr6cavavqbbtzeknnl76tp54/app.bsky.feed.post/3mus2u5cuos2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/techconnectify.bsky.social/post/3munydpvu7c2kThis is the sort of story that Bluesky mostly seems to ignore but I guarantee has large political ramifications in real life. Rural America is getting hosed by this administration from all sorts of angles and that won't go unnoticed. MAGA's understanding of "rural" is an exurban poser.

And I'll add that when I (years ago) suggested it was weird how little attention this is getting as a factor in our uniquely-American pedestrian fatality numbers, nobody wanted to engage with my point. Almost like it's a "well it's fine when *I* do it" sort of thing.
