fuminghumanist@Crell Melon Tusk, the 'green tech innovator' of electric cars, solar roofs, and batteries solved the AI draining the grid problem by illegally running a bunch of heavy polluting gas generators. Everything is ok now.

Green or Not So Green? The Diesel Secret Behind Tesla's Largest Supercharger - Vehiclesuggest
Tesla is setting the gold standard for innovation, performance, and most notably, sustainability. Tesla’s Supercharger network is often cited as a testament to its commitment to making green technology accessible and convenient. However, a recent revelation has cast a shadow over Tesla’s eco-friendly image. One of the company’s largest and most celebrated Supercharger stations located […]

His mere existence is an environmental violation.
joachim@Crell ... and while artists who could do perfectly good (and in some cases I'm sure, excellent) drawings of a girl with 5 tits are going without work and could really do with the commissions.

Data centers are being forced upon us all so the fossil fuel industry can keep its oil energy addicts & captive consumers.

The fossil fuel industry funds cryptocurrency & AI data centers to keep oil prices high for petrostate despots like Putin & MBS. And Koch Network.

Tim Ward ⭐🇪🇺🔶 #FBPE@Crell Any house that needs AC is somewhere hot, right? Or it wouldn't need AC in the first place?
So there's at least some sunshine, right? Or it wouldn't be hot?
So the AC is powered by the house's own solar panels, right? Because there is no conceivable reason why not. So, why should the city care how much you run your AC? You'll just be exporting a bit less power, on a day when there's more than enough power to go around anyway.

@TimWardCam @Crell great for 'houses', sure. But if you're in a multi storey building you don't have enough roof for panels for everybody's cooling.
Morgan ⚧️@TimWardCam @Crell friendly reminder that most people in cities rent our homes and many of us (probably most idk) live in apartment buildings 😕 I'd use solar panels if I could
mtc_uk@raphaelmorgan @TimWardCam @Crell And in the meantime, those nice country folk don’t want the big solar arrays situated near them because they ruin the view …
@mtconleyuk @raphaelmorgan @Crell My answer to that (I've been in the planning business as a councillor) is "if you want to keep your view the same then all you have to do is buy it and refrain from developing it (and hope that you don't get CPOd because development is in the overriding public interest.)"
Laust@raphaelmorgan @TimWardCam @Crell in Germany it is popular to use small portable solar panels in windows and on balconies and plug them into the nearest electrical socket. I don't know what it requires of the wiring in an apartment, so might not be possible for everyone.
@Laust @TimWardCam @Crell that's something I've considered! I'd have to save up for it and do more research though, so right now I'd rather pay the extra 25 cents or whatever to use renewable energy from the company
@raphaelmorgan @Laust @TimWardCam
Technology Connections has argued that self hosted solar is actually bad for the grid, as it undermines revenue needed to maintain the wires, even if they're just a backup for you.
Certainly grid scale solar/wind is more efficient. My city bulk buys from a green provider rather than the incumbent company, so our electrons are already green.
@TimWardCam That assumes everyone has their own rooftop solar farm. While a lovely idea the future, it is not even slightly where we are today.

This is why I say all new housing should be required to have power generating capability. Maybe geothermal for apartments instead, or both.

Woozle Hypertwin@Crell If only we had this foreign communist thing called "government regulation", where the AI companies were required to drastically reduce usage during power-shortages...
NiceMicro@Crell yeah but think about it in winter, when you can keep your house warm by generating girls with 5 (or even more!) tits!
David Scott Moyer@Crell Especially since a woman with five tits was hand engraved in 1692.
Kevin RussellTake AI offline?
Lady ArtemisI have a housemate who insists on showing me AI YouTube videos. I've stopped protesting and simply leave the room.
It's funny how fiercely people will pressure others to enjoy some bullspit they know is harmful, but don't want to admit is harmful. This AI spit from a man who typically would despise things that prevent people from having their basic needs met. It hurts my head, heart, and soul.
Ω 🌍 Gus Posey@Crell Five, you say?
@Crell Is this what vegans felt when they cautioned people about the ecological impact of cow farts, only to be met with shrugs or outright ridicule?
(Why yes, I am paying a small karmic debt here myself.)
