Because high speed rail reduces reliance on cars, which reduces demand for gas, which would reduce gas prices, which would reduce prices of goods and services, which would cut into profits of the ruling class.
Data centers on the other hand are instruments of AI financial fraud.
Maturing is realizing they never burned witches. They burned midwives, healers, herbalists, and knowledgeable women.
Women who understood medicine, nature, and their own autonomy. Women whose knowledge threatened patriarchal control. The "witch hunts" were never about magic, they were about silencing women who couldn't be controlled.
Im surprised nobody ever mentions this, but the main reason the PS2 sold as well as it did was cause it also functioned as a DVD player, so its extra brain dead that Sony is killing physical media
Something that radicalised me was learning that the "carbon footprint" concept was popularised by the fossil fuel industry to shift public focus on climate change towards individual consumers n their lifestyle instead of at the corporations that are knowingly destroying the earth
Elon Musk spent $290 million to elect Trump.
His investment worked. He is now $438 billion richer.
Now, he wants to buy Congress by spending $100 million to keep Republicans in control.
We must fight oligarchy. Defeat Musk. Preserve democracy.
The sheer arrogance is disgusting. If you don’t give a shit about your consumer base, why should I give a shit about your products? I grew up with PS1 but I just don’t see myself supporting PlayStation as a platform any more if this is how little they think of their audience.
This is a real article from the BBC. They’re going to start charging us to breathe before they ever hold the Big Oil companies and the US military-industrial complex accountable, who are the world’s biggest polluters.
Laurence Fox claims Hitler was an 'uber woke leftist', which must be why he sent to concentration camps and executed left-wing intellectuals/activists, homosexuals, disabled people, communists, socialists, and union leaders.
Fox is a politically and historically illiterate gimp.
if it wasn't already blatantly clear, physical media, community education, and oral history are SO. SO. SO. SO. SOSOSOSO. IMPORTANT!!!! to upkeep.
please buy and OWN your media.
PLEASE properly educate yourself and your community.
they WILL try to rewrite history!!!!!
In layman's terms the proposal here is to take
€10 billion of our public money, pile it up and set it on fire, in an obviously futile attempt to "catch up" in the data centre race with Silicon Valley, where ignorant trillionaire psychopaths are torching historically unprecedented amounts of money, causing irreparable harm to the environment and bringing about a financial apocalypse, in the delusional hope of finding a profitable business model for so-called "AI", a vastly overhyped technology that by now many of us are sick of, so that they can create a capitalist nirvana where they fire us all from our jobs and replace us with chatbots, and sell us subscriptions to slop they've recycled out of our common cultural and intellectual heritage, which they stole from us, scanned and then incinerated.
"Europe" does not want to "become the first AI continent."
this is why we need to ban podcasts because a real journalist would have pushed back on her very obvious lies, brought up the Mormon stuff and connection to ballerina farm.
Why on earth would a @BBC presenter interrupt an interview with the leader of a major political party to read out a private text message from a Reform MP on a completely unrelated topic? @Ofcom, can we look into this? I suspect bribery. They have form.
Benefits payments are not too high.
Wages are too low.
Why aren’t the same people screaming about benefits being too generous not screaming for better wages?
The foundation of ALL AI training is that Big Tech knew they'd never get permission for all the data they needed - let alone afford it.
So they stole it all instead.
They knowingly broke the law and banked on it being cheaper to normalize their crime through settled lawsuits.
