Share this far and wide. Gen AI: - Gen AI datacenters demand way more power than "old fashioned" datacenters. - Gen AI datacenters drain the Earth of its limited potable water. - Gen AI poisons the air of poor neighborhoods (see Elon Musk's xAI in Memphis for an example) - The climate is getting worse and worse each year, Gen AI is accelerating climate destruction. (I have MIT citations.) - The vast majority of Gen AI output is bullshit because it simply repeats word patterns, picture patterns, does not understand meaning, isn't "intelligent." - People who hate Gen AI: Greta Thunburg, Naomi Klein, good people everywhere. - People who love Gen AI: Elon Musk, Sam Altman, every billionaire who wants to steal what little we have left. The Sick Times: Absolutely disgusting that The Sick Times promotes pro-Gen AI shit. On top of that, people with Long Covid deserve factual help, not a planet destroying bullshitting machine. Seriously, fuck The Sick Times for this. Please follow my lead: Unsubscribe and stop donating! #covid @thesicktimes@mastodon.social @thesicktimes@bird.makeup
