Going insane reading this Politico story about Musk's AI servers poisoning the air of a 90% Black community in Memphis followed immediately by this Washington Post story about states lining up their own communities to host the next ones

A bigger taxpayer ripoff, and way more toxic than a pro-sports stadium.

"None of the 35 methane gas turbines that help power xAI’s massive supercomputer is equipped with pollution controls typically required by federal rules. The company has no Clean Air Act permits."
All you need is an excuse to bypass environmental rules.

I’d love to know where the servers are for Newsom’s new wildfire chatbot bsky.app/profile/governor.ca.gov/post/3lor7w6jxk22a

They could put them in Paradise. I hear the town has a lot of space to grow now, and uses less water than it used to so there's plenty available.

The existence of living non-billionaires, is seen as a grievous inconvenience, by our burgeoning overlord class.

AI, to them, is better than people, and should have more rights. Seems AI already does in many places.

In addition to the horrors, I'm also just so embarrassed for those who think AI tripe has value and meaning. We're selling each other and ourselves out for...this? 😬

As a tool, AI can be immensely helpful.

I use chaptgpt for sorting out code or geometry math stuff, so by all means, be embarrassed for me.

We can take your same approach that everyone who drives gross polluting cars or delivery trucks or rides busses should also be embarrassed.

“American dream” is one of the terms that’s been so overused it’s been rendered entirely meaningless.

He doesn’t give a shit about anyone of color. In fact, I’m pretty sure he puts this shit in neighborhoods of color as some sort of fucked up cruel joke.

Also, it sucks SO much water. And AI companies, not just the felon musk, are fighting to build in the west, which is having enough water issues.

Q: what happens when billionaires outbid/out pay for water in water-deprived areas? PEOPLE DIE

We don’t need chat bots everywhere; we certainly don’t need multiple companies building their own equivalent products.

AND he's saying that he'll totally start conforming with air-quality regulations ... after the city signs the permit.

I'm at the stage where I refuse to interact with anybody who defends AI in any context for any reason.

"But you can't deny that it is useful" no actually I CAN deny it's useful and I'm fucking blocking you, and also fuck right off into the sun.

AI is the scourge of our times. #fuckAI
