Conspiracy theorists who keep saying there’s “no way” the hurricane could have intensified so much without some human cause are so close to getting it.
Not only that, but, the computers require so much computing power, which generates so much heat, they use a LOT of water to keep them from overheating. Training ONE AI program for three weeks can require over 250,000 gallons. It's harmful RIGHT NOW, let alone long-term.

Friendly reminder that Dr. King was 26 years old at the time of the Montgomery Bus Boycott—not that much older than most of the students occupying campuses at the moment. For those folks who think these brave young people ain’t old enough to have enough sense for moral clarity.
it's so so so so crazy to have young people in this hell of a world, tell them that this is going to be -- no money, no jobs, you can't pay rent, and we're going to use your tax money for genocide -- and then punish them when they say we don't want this life
.@GovAbbott is escalating the situation at UT Austin and putting Texas students and journalists in danger.
These young adults have a right to protest peacefully. DPS needs to be recalled before someone gets seriously injured. The Governor should respect the First Amendment.
