At least you put into words what many of us are thinking and worrying about (AI)
Thanks for all your wonderful newsletters, we're all busy reading them even if we don't manage to respond. Just wondering how you have the energy to do all your jobs. Great work!
I'm not sure Sam Altman is the most dangerous human on the planet (there are so many wonderful other choices to choose from though at least Kissinger did finally depart yesterday) but I agree that AI is dangerous, mostly because government and regulation always lag behind tech This tech is moving so fast, in all directions, that it's entirely conceivable to me that something horrible happens with it. And Sam Altman would certainly be partially to blame for that.
I always try to read your newsletter and will do better about being engaged with that fact and it and you. Godspeed on your wood chopping this week.
Wind Turbine -> Battery -> Power Converter -> Washing Machine....(or other household things). Otherwise your wash may get half way and stop when the wind dies.
A million years ago (1973) when I lived in a wrecked mansion in Norfolk, people tried to build a wind turbine. The problem was the pole/column thing taking the weight. As long as you can work that bit out, I think you have a chance with your washing machine.
Hi Ben, just dropping a little sign that, if quietly, I really appreciate your newsletter. The pigs are looking great, looking forward when some chickens join them. Also very curious about this wind turbine washing machine idea! Cheers, Luisa
Dear Ben, I read your newsletter today and I noticed its missing last week!
I am one of those quiet readers who rarely comments or likes but I always read your newsletter with great interest and a chuckle here and there. It’s my Monday-special-treat😊
I shall like and comment more, that’s the least I can do to thank you.
You beat me to it, Kaja, I was going to write exactly that. I totally am in love with the piggies and am in awe of Ben's project. I don't know anybody else who is so consistent in the face of climate disaster.

Soppy bollocks. Eat some worms 😁

Yes 😂

I have recently come into possession of some big phat metal pipes. They aren't especially long, but I can see a future in welding ...

I did wonder why there was no newsletter but I reminded myself that actually, you’re allowed a week off whenever you want 😅
What are you hoping to charge with the washing machine wind turbine?? What an idea!
Batteries! :)
👋🏻
🥰
I really hope the washingmachine works out! 🙏
I promise plenty of updates

Same for me!
That really means a lot. Thanks for being here, Kaja and Jessica, and Andrea and a great week to you too!
