Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds, writes Virginia Heffernan. The files reveal it was something far darker: a decades-long project that cloaked eugenics, race science and sexual misconduct in Ivy League respectability

#AIDataCenters & Our Communities
an initiative by #ErinBrockovich
"The RACE to build #AI infrastructures is unfolding town by town across America. In some places, #dataCenters are welcomed. In others, they are delayed, contested or abandoned altogether. This MAP captures the real-world footprint of that race — revealing patterns of growth, conflict and uncertainty."

The orbital data center pitch is broken at every layer, it's just marketing that sounds cool.
There's the hardware costs (space rated is more expensive), repair or just let it be space junk, the how do you power it? the list goes on and on.
for the full exposition on the insanity --or idiocy from a certain point of view of orbital data centers scroll about halfway down my Evil vs Evil post 👇

Désinformation climatique : les #ÉtatsUnis et la #Russie visent l’ #Europe https://www.franceinfo.fr/replay-radio/le-vrai-du-faux/la-russie-et-les-etats-unis-utilisent-la-desinformation-climatique-comme-une-arme-strategique-de-guerre-informationnelle_7988585.html
La #désinformation climatique n’est pas une pratique nouvelle mais elle se diversifie. Aux acteurs historiques des #énergies fossiles s’ajoutent maintenant des acteurs de la #BigTech et, surtout, des acteurs étatiques. https://reporterre.net/Desinformation-climatique-les-Etats-Unis-et-la-Russie-visent-l-Europe

Ik was deze avond als freelancer vanuit @publicspaces de host van de 'Weg bij Bigtech' avond in de bibliotheek van #Zutphen. De mooiste bieb van Nederland wat mij betreft, gevestigd in een oude kerk.
Dankzij het fijne, geïnteresseerde publiek werd het een hele leuke avond en kreeg ik te horen dat men het reuze interessant vond om te horen over hoe je als individu kleine stapjes kan maken om digitaal onafhankelijker te worden van #BigTech. #Doeidag kwam zelfs nog voorbij.
Nu tevreden naar huis.
