That is conservatism at play.

In the conservative worldview, this is already the best world.

They have AI research to tools to understand why. "Sentiment analysis" and all that shit. So this is a lie, they do know why.

Such big claims require very thick reports with evidence.

It's not sustainable either way; this system. The real question is how: how many people are you ready to fuck over on the way down?

what about the slop tho?

and collapse

This is why I don't trust the "SocDem" way (Scandinavian socialism.) If you let the capitalists control capital, especially media, it's just a matter of time before they ruin everything.

scam courses as probably some of the safest scams. Unfortunately.

Russia, in its war of aggression and expansion, is also bombing grain ports in Ukraine.

Ukraine also hit grain some ports in Russia.

The drought is causing difficulty for river shipping for Ukraine.

We're on the exquisitely stupid timeline.

performers

a performer is a someone. Lying by default.

My experience with whiteboards disagrees.

a critical and theoretical analysis of data-centers as material things, as bodies of something else, and what that means in the broader context.

did someone draw with permanent marker on the whiteboard? That is a dick move.

Water: huge usage and/or pollution (reusing).

Electricity: huge usage and/or pollution (generators running on methane or other fossil fuels), ignore promises of nuclear reactors.

Both are "competitors" on usage; by market effects, this means higher prices for everyone else, which will remain permanently increasing unless the water reservoir and processing plants increase in capacity (same for electricity.)

Smaller distance: noise pollution, including noise that is difficult to detect, but still messes you up. As humans can't turn off their hearing, living like this is, basically, torture of various intensity.

Jobs: almost entirely short-term temporary, as with many construction projects. Think of data-centers as housing construction for software. (Yes, it is a software housing bubble.)

Good article, should have lots more upvotes.

self-drives me fucking nuts

"Socialism for some, free market capitalism for others"

(war crimes)

LLMs are not, in fact, trained on "mostly those papers"

This reminds me... I need to finish cleaning up a somewhat old typewriter.
