Even if AI turns out to be a hype cycle, getting a lot of clean energy could make it worth the hassle.

It won't.

Want to get to clean energy? Get a government with the guts to tell oil companies and car companies to get fucked.

And while they're at it they can tell the purveyors of Grand Theft Autocorrect to get fucked as well.

Yep.

Better greenwashing: actually do green things.

@ZDL for some reason they think that’s too hard

It's the usual business mindset.

Businesses never have the budget to, say, maintain their fleet of cars properly. But they have ten times the money to replace cars that broke down.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
