Hi to you and my home town! It's about that time unfortunately: not consistent, but waves of humid.
(Also i don't remember if you eat meat, but if you do, please go to Ben's Chilli Bowl for me i miss it)

Just a reminder that the place in Hell for people who leave unflushed deuces in public toilets is the one where you get your consciousness distributed across the toilet, the plunger, and the person who has to clean it up
Right?! The shared characteristics of any other defendant who might be given this kind of leeway sure are QUITE remarkable
Thanks! And yeah, it's unfortunately the way these things tend to go
I've tried first and last post 😭
Why am i still getting notifications on a thread i muted from all my devices yesterday?
I'm on the device where i did it yesterday 🤷🏾♂️

Great. Giving the rich white fascist more chances to flout the law and endanger lives than abuse victims get to be nervous around their abusers.
Breaking news: A judge ruled Monday that Donald Trump again violated his gag order in the New York hush money trial, and he warned the former president that he would consider jailing him if the violations continue.
Witness testimony will continue later Monday in Donald Trump’s trial on allegations of business fraud related to a hush money payment.

@stupidartpunk.bsky.social Hey, could you do me a favour and add at least this second to last post from that thread to your screenshot?

Fun fact: Most numbers in this thread are good-faith back-of-napkin math based on known performance numbers & w/e data's been wrenched from openAI et al. Why? Because said companies won't release their ACTUAL resource consumption numbers. And I would bet that's because our estimates? Are WAY too low
Remember this come election time:
There have been 2,500 arrests at campuses nationwide now.
113 prosecutors across the country are responsible for charging protesters. We asked every one if they plan to prosecute or dismiss charges against protesters. Here are their answers:
theappeal.org/prosecutors-...
The Appeal asked more than 110 prosecutors if they will file charges against pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel protesters on college encampments.
theappeal.orgAnd like… I get it, it's the internet: screencaps on public posts are fair game; but if there's a whole fucking thread of contextualizing information involved, maybe cap the whole fucking thread
Oh hey, just been multiply informed i've been screencapped on facebook. THAT'S a nuance-laden environment that for sure encourages full and careful reading and won't at all exacerbate massive context collapse. Cool cool cool, tight tight tight tight tight
So instead of being weirdly mad at people who are doing their very best to figure out the actual impact of these systems we're all having jammed into every fact of our lives, maybe go help demand actual transparency about the exact costs. Just a thought.

Yeah no fuck this. I missed my fucking coffee window because of arguing with strangers on the internet. That thread is muted. Might straight up nuke it. Either way I'm out of here for now.
Because the promotion threshold on bsky's algorithm requires it to be like and interacted with by a certain number of people, possibly including someone you follow, before it'll show it to you
Muting this thread now.
Tech corp billionaires are gobbling up water and power at an alarming and increasing rate AND United States agriculture models are unsustainable and must be changed.
Two true things that stay true together.

Yeah, just like all the other water we evaporate, right? No problems lingering in any of that. Nope.
Water removed from the water table for these purposes cannot easily be reclaimed for other uses. It is a problem.
Thanks for asking. I mean I genuinely can't stop you, but since you asked i would rather you just share the links.
Frankl I could have been clearer about it to start with
So this is probably the fastest a post of mine has gone every fucking where, and is really really driving home for me that my least favourite bsky technocultural paradigm is the diminishment of full thread reading
Pretrainung energy use is a different number
1) we can & should make more efficient toiltetry 2) we dont need "AI" to live 3) You're still not thinking about all of the ways it's used. Find the numbers on estimated daily users, & estimated time spent in use. Then go find data on increased water consumption where these data centers are housed
Yeah, the lack of care for consent at every level of the current "AI" push is really quite telling
The Bloomberg piece at the end of the thread really just makes it so clear how hard a climb this is
There's a lot of links to other research on it elsewhere in the thread, so you can dig around in and play around with the numbers
I mean just jesus fucking christ
Yeah, that's been on my mind a lot the past couple of weeks
We need to push them to get serious on the regulatory aspects, immediately
I just…

Today in bleak capitalist messaging.
Who better to drive clean-energy investment than some of the world’s biggest and most profitable companies?
www.bloomberg.comYeah, the counter arguments are that a) we don't need "AI" in order to survive, and b) we know for a definite fact that there are scalable alternative farming practices that can reduce that water waste. So both things can and should be fixed.
Why do i do these things to myself on Sunday mornings?
Yeah, it's honestly kind of wild
Yeah, it's hones6kind of wild
Here's a scale

If the estimates are right, it puts water consumption of chat gpt for one month at greater than the city of Atlanta's water consumption for a YEAR.
Your just talking about cooling, here, but I'm primarily talking about water used for energy production
