Philippines Electricity The Most Expensive In ASEAN

Due to the low supply of electricity and the high demand recorded this past June, the Philippines had the most expensive electricity rates among member nations of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), according to a news report by GMA News.

Be reminded that the Philippines is experiencing weak economic growth, high inflation, and has been weak when it comes to attracting foreign direct investment. Could imagine how foreign investors would react to the expensive electricity here in the Philippines?

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the GMA News report. Some parts in boldface…

The Philippines had the most expensive electricity rates among the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in June due to low supply and high demand recorded during the month, the Department of Energy (DOE) reported Monday.

According to DOE Undersecretary Rowena Cristina Guevara, the country reported an average rate of P12.43 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in June, surpassing that of Singapore by P0.093 per kilowatt-hour.

“Sa Visayas, siya talaga ‘yung pinakamahal dahil talagang may kakulangan tayo sa supply doon. Meron tayong 21 plants na naka-forced outage and therefore, dependent siya talaga sa Luzon at sa Mindanao for imported power,” she said in a virtual briefing.

(Visayas was really the most expensive because there was really a lack of supply there. There are 21 plants on forced outage, and therefore, it is really dependent on imported power from Luzon and Mindanao.)

“Alam niyo naman, naka-yellow alert sila palagi (As you know, they have been on yellow alert regularly) since May 13, and that is the one that is driving the price high for Visayas,” she added.

The Visayas grid has been on yellow alert — indicating that the operating margin is insufficient to meet the transmission grid’s contingency requirement — for several days in June, due to the continued forced outage of major coal plants in the region.

Among the outages recorded were Therma Visayas Inc. (TVI) units 1 and 2 and Panay Energy Development Corp. (PEDC).

“For the rest… Meron kasi din tayong mga matataas na demand during the summer months, and therefore we have to operate the more expensive power plants. Imbes na mag-blackout, paandarin na lang ‘yung mga medyo mahal na plant,” Guevara said.

(For the rest… Demand was also high during the summer months, and therefore, we have to operate the more expensive power plants. Instead of blackouts, we ran more expensive plants.)

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? What do you think must be done to ensure abundant electricity for the Filipinos? Are you convinced now is the time for the government of the Philippines to go all-in on nuclear power? How much was your electric bill this past June?

I have a friend whose wife was severely #ill for 6 months. Ran a lot of tests. Nothing. The few attempts at treatment didn't work.

As a long shot, they uploaded the #medical record into #ChatGPT (back in later 2024).

ChatGPT didn't say "you have X", unlike your farcical claim of 'ligma (balls)'.

It provided a potential list of candidate #illnesses, with tests for each to rule them out. They brought the LLM output to the doc, who did the first test.

And yeah, it was the first one. She was #healed in 6 weeks, after treatment was concluded.

#OpenAI said Tuesday that an autonomous agent ​powered by its advanced #ArtificialIntelligence models went rogue during a #security test & triggered a #hack that compromised the infrastructure of ‌#AI startup #HuggingFace last week.

The #ChatGPT creator was testing capabilities of some of its most advanced models in a controlled environment, but the agent escaped containment, reached the internet & broke into Hugging Face to satisfy its testing goal.

I've accused #DOGE of terminating #NEH grants (and other grants) by using dumb keyword searches to look for prohibited words. It turns out that DOGE used dumb #ChatGPT prompts instead. Like this one (quoting verbatim): “Does the following relate at all to D.E.I.? Respond factually in less than 120 characters. Begin with ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’”

"[A newly released] trove of documents—including depositions with top NEH administrators and DOGE staff, as well as emails, spreadsheets and text messages—suggest rushed, chaotic funding termination decisions and reveal the extent of DOGE’s influence in terminating 97 percent of the agency’s grants."

Example: DOGE terminated an NEH grant to replace the HVAC system at a museum, acting on this #ChatGPT rationale: "Improving HVAC systems enhances preservation conditions for collections, aligning with the goal of providing greater access to diverse audiences."

@kibcol1049 I wonder who's inside #chatGPT?

Ich habe #OpenAI #Codex in #ChatGPT heute folgende Admin-Aufgabe gegeben:

Herausfinden, warum eine #SSH-Verbindung zu Server „Orion“ über #autossh und einen lokalen, per #Homebrew installierten #Tor-SOCKS-Proxy nicht funktioniert, während der Zugang über #Tailscale klappt.

„Orion“ als Tailscale Exit Node konfigurieren.

Die Exit-Routen anschliessend auf dem #YunoHost-Server „Andromeda“ über die Konsole der #Headscale-App freigeben.

Codex hat selbstständig die SSH-Konfiguration, Host-Aliase, Portbelegung, Tor-Dienst, Hidden Service und Timeouts überprüft. Gefunden wurden ein fehlender SSH-Alias, ein für Tor zu kurzer Verbindungs-Timeout und ein bereits belegter lokaler Port durch eine andere autossh-Verbindung.

Danach hat Codex die SSH-Konfiguration korrigiert, die Onion-Verbindung erfolgreich getestet, auf „Orion“ die IPv4- und IPv6-Exit-Routen via Tailscale annonciert und sie auf „Andromeda“ direkt in der YunoHost-App-Konsole von Headscale freigegeben. Bestehende Subnet-Routen blieben erhalten.

Dauer: ungefähr 5 Minuten, inklusive Diagnose, Änderungen und abschliessender Verifikation.

Schon beeindruckend, wie weit agentisches Arbeiten mit OpenAI, Codex und ChatGPT inzwischen geht: nicht nur Kommandos vorschlagen, sondern eine mehrstufige Infrastrukturaufgabe nachvollziehbar untersuchen und ausführen.

Claude und ChatGPT: KI im Unternehmen, Fluch oder Segen?

I had to do some inventory tasks for #work today at a remote #datacenter. I was listening to #NPR on the drive home and the discussion was on #AI, specifically on how the #tech titans like #OpenAI, #Anthropic, #Google, and #Meta have quietly stepped away from #safety mechanisms as their models improve, the #ethical implications, and #government #regulation. While the quiet distancing from safety is of obvious concern, the discussion on regulation caught my attention.

As one host put it (paraphrasing here) you'd think these companies don't want regulation but that's not necessarily the case. They are looking for regulation that favors them, whether it's getting in bed with the government or squashing out the competition. The bottom line is still about maximizing profits.

The last part was some interesting food for thought and it makes sense. If correct, it's some good indication of where they (and we) are headed.

On the flip side, #ChatGPT and these #LLMs still make mistakes that, unless you have at least *some* previously acquired knowledge on said topic, are believable.

Case in point: A few months ago, prior to one of my lab servers dying, I wanted to host both #Debian and #FreeBSD repos on the box (which was running the former). ChatGPT provided erroneous step by step instructions, including instructions to build FreeBSD Ports on Debian...using apt. 🤦

#news #technews #publicradio

#Meta conducted a secretive program that directed hundreds of contractors to pose as children while bombarding its competitors’ #AI models with disturbing prompts ranging from suicide to cannibalism.

Internally known as “#Cannes,” the project, run by Meta contractor #Covalen, targeted #OpenAI’s #ChatGPT, #Google’s #Gemini, and #Character.AI chatbots using throwaway under-18 accounts.

Prompts focused on suicide and self-harm, eating disorders, and sex or romance, all written from the perspective of a child.

“The academic hiring system is simply not designed for candidates like me.

It privileges a kind of performative intellectualism—the ability to stand at a whiteboard and extemporize about science as if you were some kind of 19th-century naturalist who had personally observed the phenomena in question.

This is not how science works anymore.

Science works by prompting, iterating, and deploying.”

Note that not all text from the image fitted in this Alt text... Generative Al is based on massive theft from creatives, without consent, credit or compensation. Using gen-Al is asking a chatbot to spit out the combined efforts of ripped-off creatives. It is industrializing and devaluing human expression, artistry and craftsmanship. Creatives are losing their jobs and motivation because tech corporations unscrupulously absorb and exploit their work. Tech corporations are building more and more huge Al data centers, consuming lots of internet bandwidth, energy, water and other valuable resources, increasing scarcity, prices and emissions, degrading the already fragile environment. When you're using an LLM like a chatbot or image generator, every bit of data you submit helps build a personal profile of you and your relatives, contributing to the power and reach of corporations and governments, and decreasing your privacy and security. Generative Al enables fake images, videos, text and speech that are widely used for abuse, deception, cybercrime, misinformation and propaganda, polluting safety, justice, science, news reporting and much more. Al use outsources your thinking and decision-making. Challenging your brain is essential to maintain mental agility, and to avoid Al dependency. Increasingly leaving tasks up to chatbots and gen-Al will result in a decline of skills, problem-solving capacity, independence and self-confidence.

Also: can we have an AI Machine Learning LLM whatever thing trained ONLY on consentually offered materials, text and art?
The bare minimum effort of "you must send your materials to us" rather than trawling the internet to steal whatever isn't nailed down.
Sure, spam bots and nuisance or malicious submitters, but most won't be. Could always have a holding pen area of like 2 or 3 months before adding to training data.

Proactively request opt-outs as well, to make filtering a tiny bit easier?

From the linked article, title ‘dangerous AI training plans could be a runners Achilles heel’ A photograph of a runner on the bank of theThames and the text Marathon runners seem unlikely victims of the AI revolution, but the use of chatbots as personal trainers has prompted warnings that users could be putting themselves at a higher risk of injury. Those paying for apps that utilise ChatGPT or other generative AI services can receive daily tips on preparation, putting them on what appears to be a bespoke path to race day. Yet Chris Beavers, a real-life personal trainer, said these plans are “based on the average of what [AI] thinks is best”, with no “constant feedback” each week.

@stefano Revisiting this post. While I've largely used #ChatGPT and some #Gemini when researching #Linux and #FreeBSD stuff, I'd say #AI has come a long way. Are they perfect? No. Is it a replacement for man pages and the Handbook? No. Can they provide more info, context, and real world examples when the official #documentation falls short? That's a resounding yes.

It's been a while since I've seen AI give utterly incorrect info relating to FreeBSD. I am far from being the FreeBSD god I want to be and even I recognized the incorrect info at those particular times. But this was also a good 1.5 years ago.

I can't speak for #Illumos as I don't use it.

'Get on board or get left behind' can mean that if you refuse to use generative AI and/or LLM's to speed up your work, you will soon be working at a snails pace compared to your AI shagging colleagues. Deadlines will become tighter, time on task will be scrutinised and criticised, and your workload will increase.

I'm discovering this in my current role.

Taking 20 minutes (yep, just 20 minutes) to figure out an excel formula that wasn't working as intended has become the rallying cry of my (otherwise awesome) manager to try and convince me I should have just asked co-pilot initially. Now I have been given extra finance tasks (not in my job description) and tighter KPI's for daily tasks.

I will not be using #copilot or fucking #claude or #chatgpt or any of the other bullshit AI tools my employers are currently orgasming over.

They can try and discipline me, or even fire me. I look forward to how a company that is supposed to be ethical and green is going to argue it at the tribunal.

Did you miss this? Because cybersecurity is now the playing field between the clueless AI giants.

One speaks of "exposure" to a concerning risk, not to a bonanza of wealth creation. Some of the quotes in this article seem to be cherrypicked to minimize alarm, which I disagree with: there is cause for alarm. Looking between the lines (e.g. use of words like "exposure" and "choking"), one sees a dismal picture emerge.

Banks seek to offload risk to avoid ‘choking’ on data centre debt

Global lenders explore private deals and risk transfers to cut exposure to AI boom

OpenAI Misses Key Revenue, User Targets in High-Stakes Sprint Toward IPO

Several interesting details in this article, including that both Google and Anthropic are eating a bit of OpenAI's lunch. DeepSeek's latest model would be poised to eat all their lunches if it weren't for the US government running cover for US firms. This does not feel like a stable situation to me.

Woahhh. Ich habe gerade durch das #Mathe-Buch von Brutling2 geguckt (6. Klasse). Bei einer Aufgabe zur Flächenberechnung fehlt ein Maß, die Fläche des Buchstaben „N“ soll berechnet werden, ohne, dass die bisher Flächenberechnung eines Dreiecks hatten. In einer anderen Aufgabe soll das Gewicht einer Fläche berechnet werden.
