one thing I've never really been clear on is why I sometimes get traffic inbound on my external-facing network interfaces, coming from RFC1918 addresses…like, how does that work and how does it make it through my ISP's (AussieBB) network?

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future. www.wheresyoured.at/pop-culture/

It’s so cool that cities are like “pweeease only turn your AC on if you’re actively dying and don’t go below 79 🥺🤘🏻💗” while the AI nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1 image of a girl with 5 tits

I used to be able to check in with the news once a day and easily get a sense of What’s Up. That is no longer true. There are so many bonfires and so much context and I don’t trust the old news sources.
