The environmental toll of AI is something we really need to keep shouting about

Elon Musk's 35 AI data centers in Tennessee are powered by natural gas- in an area leading the U.S. in asthma cases. bit.ly/4k0p1HO

How will Ohio power its proposed 100 data centers? Surely not gas from fracking state parks and public lands...

Ohio is Republican gerrymandering corrupt. They don't care about Ohioans their health or the environment. Remember the Cuyahoga River being set on fire twice that was their doing also remember the dilapidated railroad tracks that's them too.

when people justify using it to shave off a few minutes of work, i just want to make them stand next to an oil well for a day

They could easily mitigate some of the environmental toll by putting solar panels on the roofs and on the parking lots. Also creating Green walls around the buildings but that would make too much sense.

Ohio has the most corrupt legislature in the country with rigged congressional districts giving supermajority to in both house and Senate. I have no faith that they will choose wisely.

I think that at this point, the only hope for slowing and eventually reversing warming is through AI driven technology breakthroughs. Wish they’d be powered by renewables, but Trump’s election makes that pretty much impossible.

The problems we created are only getting worse, not subsiding. We need to organize mass protests to first quit big tech media, so that at least disinformation decreases to a certain level, allowing people to take meaningful action.

Tennessee is 46th in life expectancy. 6 years less than the states at the top of the list......

Giving up 6 years of your life to own the libs!
