ok, tbh, AI language practice does actually sound like one good use of it. https://languatalk.com/try-langua#pricing
No deep understanding or nuance, plus stilted phrasing... but basic errors should be fine, like me forgetting to add が everywhere.

Huge wastage though! AI / LLM / Machine Learning services are massive carbon sources.
Especially with data centers in drought-prone areas, even a good use is still bad.
Hot areas cannot sustain AI: Computer calculations produce heat, which radiates away more slowly into already hot air.

Cooling AI data centers drains water -- especially potable / human-safe sources.
Reservoirs and water tables drop even faster than they would from extras in other human usage, evaporation due to global warming, and whatever third thing probably also happens.
Idk, I'm not a climate scientist. I just have climate grief.

80% of greenhouse emissions linked to just 57 companies. Individual consumer choices won't be enough.

To effectively combat #ClimateChange, we must change national and global policies. For most of us, it's difficult to know which policies we should be fighting for. That's where the #CitizensClimateLobby can help! Join us today and help lobby for policy changes that will make a difference.

CCL Podcast: What is Your Climate Change Role? | Citizens' Climate Lobby

In this month’s episode of Citizens Climate Radio, Eileen Flanagan, a writer, social change teacher, Quaker, and activist, dives deep with host Peterson Toscano into four different roles people have traditionally taken in change movements. In addition, Erica Valdez and Horace Mo join Peterson for a vibrant discussion about their personal experiences in taking one of these roles.  See our complete show notes including links to guests, a full transcript, and possible action steps you can take. Visit www.cclusa.org/radio Finding Your Role  In Eileen Flanagan’s words, the four recurring roles in change movements include rebels, advocates, organizers, and helpers. One of the best ways to understand these four roles is through their different orientations. Eileen says, “The helpers’ orientation is: what can I do to improve things without messing with the system?” She mentions climate change helpers who take the initiative to help insulate houses or help put solar panels on a neighbor’s roof. A helper also prepares food for events, provides rides for volunteer lobbyists, and donates money to a climate organization.   Elieen further explains, “An advocate takes the role of trying to use the tools of the system to change things.” Advocates often capitalize on lobbying and lawsuits to convince elected officials and people in power to make decisions.  Good News Story Horace Mo in Chongqing shares a good news story about China’s new carbon trading regulations.
