A dust speck stuck to a grain of sand floating through an infinite & indifferent universe—I enjoy pondering the futility of existence, also snorkeling & tennis. Author of harmless fictions, including the novel Any Other World Will Do (http://www.topfivebooks.com/AnyOtherWorld.html).

"Since many AI centers are built in economically vulnerable rural areas—like Bessemer, Alabama, a predominantly Black city—already disadvantaged communities are disproportionately affected by the resulting pollution and water scarcity. It is a continuation of a long history of marginalized communities becoming sacrifice zones that shoulder the environmental costs of economic progress. This is environmental racism."

AI’s environmental costs fall most heavily on the marginalized

Data centers harm vulnerable communities. Should we continue to expand AI if its footprint deepens inequality and threatens health?

Jamal is too nice to say "utter hypocrisy," but that's what this is. Today's #SCOTUS treats *all* coercive relief against the executive branch as imposing irreparable harm on the government. For that proposition, they cite a 2014 opinion by ... Chief Justice Roberts. Its absence here is deafening.

Antidepressants saved my son's life. He was just a kid then and now he's a thriving adult. They work. This kind of casual talk is dangerous. Every individual is different. Every decision is personal and unique.
