IMO, meritocracy is applicable to very narrow and very specific use cases to ensure the people doing the work are qualified and able. For the rest of the human experience - which encompasses the vast majority of one's time living on Earth - it's wholly inappropriate.


We've taken part in Godot Wild Jam #80 ( #GWJ80 ).

Here's the game we made:

This short detour from our work on Liblast Framework has been great fun, and we have learned a lot about making games and working together.

El Salvador offers Venezuela prisoner swap involving US deportees


El Salvador's president has offered to repatriate 252 Venezuelans deported by the US and imprisoned in his country - if Venezuela releases the same number of political prisoners.
Nayib Bukele appealed directly to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a post on social media.
He said many of the Venezuelan deportees had committed "rape and murder", while Venezuelan political prisoners were jailed only because they opposed Maduro, whose re-election last year is widely disputed.

Light leak? I like the shot regardless, it may even be enhanced by it.


I came across information that the original quote in Futurism which said 99% electricity use was incorrect.
futurism.com/google-ceo-congre…

The transcript says “3% to 9%”.
techpolicy.press/transcript-us…

The larger point remains, though. AI and data center energy and water use is surging, and we are only at the beginning of this whole thing. For years, data centers energy use stayed below 1% and we were told not to worry. In countries like Ireland, data center energy use is now already over 20%
