Coal, climate and computationalism. I’m beginning to feel AI is the new coal inasmuch as many believe it can not only solve every problem but that it’s impervious to climate change (which it isn’t) and is therefore able to have dominion over nature (which it doesn’t).

@Heccles94 @elonmusk @grok Thanks for this. Is the thread also posted as a substack or other link or doc? I’d like to cite it properly.

RECORD 2024 ANNUAL ATMOSPHERIC CO2 INCREASE
2024 Record Leap In Atmospheric CO2 involving Reduced Carbon Sinks. Committed (unavoidable) increased global heat and ocean acidification for decades. Increased global warming acceleration and further increase from failing carbon sinks.
This points to no future.

For decades we worried that AI would take over and destroy us.

But AI is just the final tool in the corporate psychopaths’ arsenal; extracting our skills, our knowledge, our souls - reducing our brains to mush & our planet to dust as they head off to their luxury bunkers.

You made ChatGPT “pretty restrictive”? Really. Is that why it has been recommending kids harm and kill themselves?

Altogether, AI data centers now use more electricity than most countries. We didn’t ask for any of this. These data centers steal our jobs, energy, and water. Shut them all down & turn them into social housing units.

ICYMI: catastrophic 73% average decline in wildlife populations likely to be followed in the next 5-10 decades by the extinction of up to 30-40% of all species on Earth or even 50-60% or more. Industrial capitalism is one of the most destructive forces the planet has ever seen.

Thoughts on the Anthropic lawsuit for $1.5B? Any other authors out there looking for compensation for data / books accessed without permission as I am? Thoughts on what this means for “free use?” Does this harm trust for GenAI? Why or why not? Thanks for your insights.

Paradigm shift: Indigenous Peoples' knowledge systems must not be passively consulted—they must be actively embedded in the fabric of biodiversity policy and planning.

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

The Trump administration and @ENERGY policies have already cost Americans 91,000 clean energy jobs and counting.

They are actively killing jobs in rural places and small towns across this country, and they have no plan to replace them.

Please sign this petition and note if one uses GenAI of any kind knowing these violations occurred, you’re supporting human rights violations and there is no “AI for Good” etc.

God bless you, Francis.

You will be missed.

@TownOfWestfield Congrats & excited to see how that surplus can be used to buy electric equipment for the ubiquitous/omnipresent gas leaf blowers overtly harming mental & physical health of all in Westfield. Toxic fumes travel great distances & harm all the time where electric won’t. #itblows

[John C. Havens (he/him) @johnchavens]

@TownOfWestfield I love living in Westfield and deeply appreciate all our local officials do for our citizens. I am excited to see how we all can work to eliminate the incessant, dangerously loud and toxic fumes and noise of leaf blowers for our citizens! #itblows

If you live in the U.S. your civil rights will soon be over.

This is not a drill.
