Stromfresser Künstliche Intelligenz: „Die Energieverbräuche durch KI gehen durch die Decke“
Überall ist Künstliche Intelligenz eingebaut, selbst in Zahnbürsten, dabei verbraucht sie Unmengen an Strom. Der Forscher Rainer Rehak sagt, was wir tun können.

Do not buy the fossil-fuel industry’s hype about carbon-capture technology, even the schemes that work cannot be scaled up to the necessary levels, explains John Clarke A recent headline in the Guardian glowingly suggests that a ‘new powder that captures carbon could be “quantum leap” for industry.
PUBLIC PRIVATE PILFERSHIP does anyone think #trump is smart enough to know that #muskrat does bad things for ppl and planet? ie. starts and pumps financial scams, fuels false hope in #technofixes that cannot work, is for population growth (read growth in modern slavery), and is a darling of the corporate media because of it.... even RT (#russiatoday) fawns over 'the microchipped'.
trump must know, and is likely playing along because hes got no choice. Trump has been a puppet at the end of the day, and is very malleable to the interests of the corporates, the #blackrock types.... he literally used his personal(?) financial adviser #larryFink to determine monetary policy during #covid, resulting in printing record breaking amounts of cash that went to the corporates, who bought back their stocks. Its what started the #inflation (theft) that we still suffer with today. I personally knew people who were on #facebook who were warning about the policy in 2020 and they were deemed SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY and effectively REMOVED from the #falsebook platform. All they were doing was warning of the inflation/theft that would follow.
Trump is very partial to corporate fascists dressed as "libertarians" like #peterThiel, again, not even the RT will draw attention to thiel's #Palantir and the #PaypalMafia, who are helping to destroy all aspects of the internet that could liberate us from repression.
Despite trump's supportive rhetoric of muskrat, i doubt he'll put the #muskrochipped in govt because a) trump knows muskrat is unpopular despite the corporate media fawning over him, b) muskrat can probably do more harm to ppl outside of govt with that trashy ex-bird platform, and c) did i mention the thing is MICROCHIPPED, trump probably doesn't want bugged hardware in his cabinet.
Problems with Carbon Capture & Storage, the fossil fuel industry's own solution to the climate crisis:
1. CCS is a method developed for pumping CO2 into oil fields to boost oil production. 80% of CO2 captured is being used for this purpose.
2. CCS captures millions of tons of CO2 but global annual emissions are in billions of tons.
Upstream: [UNLOCKED] Oil, Monopoly Capitalism, and Imperialism w/ Adam Hanieh
From 01:16:55

Oil is much more than just a source of energy—it’s a commodity that has shaped—and has been shaped—by the forces of capitalism perhaps more so than any other commodity. The story of oil is one of monopoly capitalism, one of imperialism, one of cheap labor, resource extraction, ecosystem devastation, climate change, assassinations, environmental disasters, genocides—the list goes on. Oil is the commodity which not just lubricates the actual, literal machinery driving the system—but which also lubricates the entire process of U.S. imperialism—the blood flowing through the empire’s many tentacles wrapped around the globe. As today’s guest has written, “Oil's centrality stems from what it does for the imperatives of accumulation: its ability to accelerate and expand capital's turnover, cheapen the costs of production (including labor), and knit together an international market. No other commodity plays this role.” Adam Hanieh is a Palestinian professor at the Institute for Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter. He is the author of , published by Haymarket Books, and most recently, , published by Verso. Adam was on the show last year to talk about the political economy of Palestine, part of our ongoing series on Palestine.In this episode we explore the early history of oil, its emergence as a fuel source and how it eventually overtook other fuels like coal as the primary energy source of capitalism. We explore the role that oil has played in shaping geopolitics—from colonialism to coups, assassinations, and more, focusing on the way that oil has shaped the Middle East to this day. We talk about the major oil companies and how the world market for oil works, and finally, we bring into stark relief the environmental implications of this hydrocarbon and the way that oil companies continue to dominate and shape our response to climate change.

The title says "Green Reactionaries" but the term #ecoFascist to us implies a govt aligning with #bigTech, maybe also to repress and marginise those who are not aligned with a policy.
Its so possible to have corporatist, environmentalist #technocrats that over the past decade we've seen them advertising unrealistic #technofixes on #Fakebook, to attract govt backing. We could all be living on the ocean, or in "#smartCities" or whatever nonsense.
Obviously anything can be made fascist.
Tech[no]fixes is a conference about the critical role technologies play in our society, happening today in Berlin.
@bits_und_baeume will be present with a booth and a funny game where you can spot tiny pots and get #OpenSourceSeeds with them.
Thanks to the organisers to help growing freedom and wishing all participants a great time <3
Technologischer Fortschritt gehört seit jeher zur Menschheitsgeschichte dazu. Dabei sind Technologien und die Veränderungen, die sie mit sich bringen, nicht per se gut oder schlecht. Es hängt immer von der Intention der Erfindung und Anwendung ab, ob sie bspw. das Leben von allen verbessern oder exk
Some of this will be in English. RT @bitsundbaeume_berlin: "#Technologien seien die Lösung, so heißt es oftmals. Sie sollen die #Klimakrise bewältigen, unsere #Ernährungssysteme weiterentwickeln oder soziale Gerechtigkeit sicherstellen. In technologische Entwicklungen fließt ..viel Geld ..."
