Google's emissions are up over 50%, Amazon builds huge data centers powered by 75% natural gas.

Remember all those posts telling us that "AIs climate impact isn't that bad" supported by some really funky math/perspective and/or numbers Sam Altman invented?

Here's the actual impact.

"AI" is a fossil fuel technology.

Listening to the #SamAltman genesis story on NPR

#Humanity is treading water, staying just ahead of increasing human need.

And they propose to hand that figure treading water either a helping hand or a gold chalice, take your pick.

Until the bright light of #AI is pointed at the preconditions for **its own** use —‌ vast #energy requirements —‌ it could literally sink us all.

Competing with humans for planetary needs is insane, without first solving our #energycrisis.

Fix #fusion first.
