  2. Its a good thing our children are too fat and stupid to go after their children.

  3. People are going to really love the new coal plants next to the Amazon warehouse, next to the 12 data centers that employ 50 people and use more power than Mall of America. What a win!

  5.  These silicone valley trillion dollar companies are really failing the PR game. Most people are either skeptical of the benefits of AI or see it as a serious threat to employment. Data centers create a negligible number of employees and get tax abatements in many cases. Add to that the air and noise pollution, land use, water use and power consumption and people are not going to put up with it. 

  6. Are there any browsers that believe in science and are easy to use?

  7. Well, that’s what you would say if you couldn’t give two shits about the future and even air pollution.

  9. The main issue with solar energy that people who have the most basic understanding of the subject have is the inability to store it.

    The main issue with AI is that it eats too much energy.

    I am sure there are other issues that need to be solved in AI usage, but why has no one put 2 and 2 together?
