And apparently “closed loop” water systems don’t actually mean you won’t be put on a water restriction if these monster palaces come to your community.

Partnering with AI tech tycoons who wanna be kings is not democracy.
Anyone trying to push for “managing” AI or “sustainably” supporting AI is not operating in reality.
AI slop science fraud.
More evidence to say that you really really shouldn’t just believe hype on the internet because it sounds like science and some fancy outlet is doing PR for example.
Don’t let them tell you we’re to blame for monstrosity AI data centers.
Don’t Wait For Everybody – Episode 029
Greed and profiteering in AI is going to crowd out actual technological advances.
We know it will because it’s already been happening, we see it everywhere.
There’s no reason to assume we’ll need these monstrosity data center power plants in the future.
Myth is all the tycoons have, because reality doesn’t care about tech monarchist fantasies.
Monarchists and magnates, sticking it to us on things like healthcare, automation and AI; it’s all connected.
No kings means rejecting automated monarchist systems.
AI stuff is habit forming, but not always popular at work.
And that would seem to indicate they’re not particularly useful or everyone would be completely enticed into using them a lot.
The uncanny valley of the AI workplace apocalypse.
To some extent automation always seems to be a bait and switch.
Isn’t posing as a therapist against the law already?
If it’s not, it should be illegal for a company to deploy chatbots that pretend to be licensed therapists.
AI hype is driving the mining industry to dig up more uranium in the US.
Even if you think nuclear is a good idea, you have to worry about how this is going to get started new mining that isn’t actually needed, build these data centers instead of housing, and then abandon it abruptly when the AI hype financial bubble pops and they all crash and burn and then of course the taxpayers are on the hook to bail out the rich people again.
AI is not inevitable.
More specifically the tech tycoon preferred implementation of AI is not inevitable.
I don’t need an app for that – especially not one made by chatbot.
Be more fun at parties – put down your phone.
Almost all the AI boosters seem at least a tad delusional to me.
So how do the techno rapture believing moderators of the pro-AI subreddit tell a difference?
Chatbots are addictive like social media, gambling, and video games, but I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
I noticed the addictive aspect of the chatbot 2 years ago, and warned that I suspected it wasn’t a coincidence it seemed to have aspects that reminded me of the game Diablo.
When I see a product has “Artificial Intelligence” I immediately assume it’s a piece of crap.
And the marketing buzzwords of “AI” signals to me that it comes with a huge price tag of horrendous collateral damage. When are companies going to realize that announcing they’re using AI isn’t the selling point they think it is? That saying that a product has AI in it immediately signals that their product is […]
Pope Leo XIV throws down the gauntlet against AI hype.
At his first “working meeting”, the pope outlined his priorities to include defending “human dignity” against the threat of AI, citing the dehumanizing effects of the industrial revolution.
We need buttons & dials in cars – and far less screens.
When I saw that cars were coming with no buttons, dials, or switches – just touchscreens I started panicking. I probably won’t ever buy a new car if touchscreen controls are the only option on new cars. I don’t find touchscreens to be easy to use, not at all accessible. Having to go through 3 […]
It’s imperative to inform politicians about tech scams that target their ideological hopes with false promises.
Crypto mogul donors lure politicians to betray their communities by saying they’re doing it to benefit their communities. It’s a trick.
AI doesn’t exist, but Republican politicians really want to replace human doctors.
I’m sure not for themselves, but certainly for the general public according to some doctor politicians.
The mass firing of federal workers is a privatization boondoggle to rip off taxpayers and put us into company towns.
It couldn’t be clearer that the whole purpose of firing all these staff is to privatize everything by force, and follow through with their plans to form corporate fiefdoms.
On cleaving MAGA from the tech tycoon project.
It makes sense to use Steve Bannon’s talking points, because obviously he’s expert in messaging to MAGA.
