Farmin in Ukraine?  Maybe they can grow tobacco.



Kushner and his squeeze can fly around.  To keep them working.

The High Ground with the Palestinians is supporting them in their desire for self-rule and their own state where they currently live.  That's what they are fighting for.

How many asthma related deaths is Elon responsible for in TN?  The EV "innovator" isn't terribly concerned about what is burned to power either his cars or his supercomputers.  We're not gonna make any progress reducing global emissions by constantly adding MOAR technology that requires gigajoules of electricity to run every day.  Particularly combined with the Trumpenator's all out WAR on solar and wing power as alternatives to provide the juice.

Even if he's not convicted of MURDER, at the very kleast Elon should be required to pay the cost of all the breathing related visits to the Emergency Rooms around South Memphis.  Of course, it's just Black folks that can't breathe in that neighborhood.

My new slogan:

Say NO to AI & YES to CFS!

Will the pushback against AI gain any traction?  Or will Billionaires continue to compete to see who can burn the most energy the fastest?  How high will electricity prices go before J6P chokes on the bill?  Remember, he's also expected to power his cars, heat his homes, wash & dry his laundry and cook his food with the same electrons Mark Suckerbug needs to run his Facepalm server farms, data centers, AI Search Engines and Crypto Mining operations.  Who's gonna pay for the new cable double the diameter of the old one to run that traffic jam of electrons to his breaker box?

By 2025, approximately 33% of global data center capacity is projected to be dedicated to AI applications.

This figure is expected to reach as high as 70% by 2030.


Google Gemini told me.


Since it appears to be useful, perhaps the problem is that capitalism owns it.  I'd be happy with AI under the control of universities.  Providers of AI must be nonprofit, and connected with an educational institution.  Of course this makes sense.  And must be totally rejected as outlandish murmurs from Lenin's grave.  John or Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, take your pick.  Either grave will do.

The problem is not AI itself, the problem is in the implementation of AI.  I am all for local LLMs.  We need a billionaire to sign up here, the Diner needs this.

This puppy can run an 80G model.  I could train a doom bot.

Limits and restraint, that is all we needed, and that is the tragedy.
