"Communities across the US are winning against environmental racism.

In Texas, Alabama, Georgia, and more, residents are packing council meetings, collecting signatures, and using their collective power to push back against destructive AI data centers. Our future will be written by us, not tech profits."

Claims that #AI can help fix #climate dismissed as #greenwashing
#Tech companies are conflating traditional artificial intelligence with generative AI when claiming the energy-hungry technology could help avert climate breakdown.
Most claims that AI can help avert climate breakdown refer to #machinelearning and not the energy-hungry chatbots and image generation tools driving the sector’s explosive growth of gas-guzzling #datacenters, the analysis of 154 statements found.

Rolling blackouts with +45C temperatures, but my government wants to give even more special treatment to datacenters and cryptofarms, promising we won't bare the costs of such "generosity".

I'm literally melting like Pizza The Hutt from Spaceballs.
