oh btw as someone who's worked in the industry: yeah AI it's everywhere and it's hell, and if you refuse to use it and aim to actually do a good job you get labelled as uncooperative lol 😭
A data center in Georgia used 30 million gallons of water illegally, and locals only noticed when their water pressure was abnormally low.
The data center claimed it was an honest mistake, but locals were told by the town to conserve water while the data center kept running.
ppl will swear biphobia isn’t real and then proceed to weaponize stats that prove the existence of biphobia AGAINST bisexual women as though we’re to blame for the abuse we face…
Wait, so we were told to take shorter showers, turn off the tap while brushing our teeth, and conserve water at every opportunity… but data centers can show up and use millions of gallons like it’s nothing?
another thing that breaks my heart: ai forcing people into isolation. instead of asking friends for opinions or finding strangers to share one's interests with, people turn to ai chatbots. in an effort to cure loneliness, people detach themselves from their communities even more.
Please consider getting a library card, even if you don’t use it much. Cities look at those numbers, and they help keep libraries open, funded properly, and safe from budget cuts.
people need to understand that fetishizing lesbians is not the same as supporting im so fucking tireddd of lesbophobic assholes who think of us as entertainment for their fantasies
Many people still don’t realize that literacy isn’t just about being able to read. It’s about being able to comprehend, evaluate, and apply the information in front of you. The gap between the two is becoming increasingly alarming.
When the bubble bursts, there will be so many saying they didn't mean to hurt anyone. They didn't mean to put people out of work, to destroy their purpose, to steal their hope.
They'll say they had no idea the silly videos or the cartoon faces they made with AI were built on theft. They just wanted to do their work faster (and didn't want to admit AI actually slowed them down because others would think they weren't tech savvy and they might get left behind).
Taking jobs? Destroying skills? Devastating neighborhoods? Contributing to drought, soaring utilities, joblessness? They didn't mean to. That wasn't their goal.
What they'll mean is they chose to ignore the problems because they didn't think they'd be held responsible for contributing to them. They weren't really their problems, anyway. They were going to get ahead without having to work hard for it, without having to devote the years that others put in to the work AI stole.
What they'll mean is: the plan was for someone else to pay and they were fine with that.
When the bubble bursts, it will be too late to apologize. The bill will be due. The debt won't be forgiven.
