Every time I actually fact checked these "WAAAH DATACENTRES" actual numbers, and I've done this three times already, this is what I found;

1. The numbers include estimates of future loads

2. The numbers purposefully conflate the #Ai #datacenters with the existing Datacentres, "the cloud" your #AWS , Facebook, Dropbox, Netflix, iCloud etc and yes your #Mastodon servers. Which at the last check is about 50/50 but it's hard to get real data.

3. The water consumption is very poorly presented often conflating water use with water destruction

4. The numbers often pick a comparison that sounds terrible but in the global scale is fuck all.
Like "AI uses as much water as the city of New York!!!!!!!!!!"

Having said that the trend of #broligarchs just slapping down methane emergency generators on the perimeter running 24/7 is just criminal.

TLDR; The "WAAAH DATACENTRES" "journalism" really depends on the personal bias of the author

@tofugolem @stonykark

Not only is it us versus them.
The entire #darkenlightment corrosive ideology, Peter Thiel's #apocalypse #heresy is all about destruction of democratic civil order and replacing it with #technofascism.

A full surveillance authoritarian state, where #broligarchs decide who gets turned to fertiliser.

#doge was just a test run.

A sped run #genocide where zitty 22yo minions exterminate entire segments of society.
#ice is currently building the warehouse deathcamp infrastructure where the exits will lead to fertiliser and biodiesel plants.

The oligarchs want you dead.

Its not a glove I am picking up.
I know from personal experience my brain didnt wire up proper until about 28yo. But I may be slow.

#Neuroscience is an actual science and uses scientifc method. Is it open to abuse? Sure. We can monitor changes in brain with aparatuses though.
The beauty of peer review is though, if you publish bullshit, someone will likely identify as bullshit, and the folks who reviewed your article for publishing wont look good either.

Human brain is super malleable.
We now have computational propaganda at scale and the result is 30% muppets voting against their interests for the #broligarchs

"we" could fu<k with folks brains for a while with newspapers, songs and ideas. Now we can do it so much better.

Anyway, its a fascinating subject, but I got work to do.
