"Energy firm pushed federal officials to scale back clean-electricity rules tied to AI sector" - WTH Carney, we aren't here to serve gas producers.

A waste of resources.

We could build datacentres and dedicate them to academic computing - computational chemistry, thermodynamics, physics, to unlock new breakthroughs. Nope, we need to use fossil fuels to power the creation of AI slop I just scan by.

Lobbying is bribing. Billionaires bought their way.

And at your expense.

Artificial intelligence may have it's weaknesses, but you've got to admit it does have some kind of strange power to drain all the human intelligence out of the minds of business and political leaders.

"Yet this isn’t the first time that the Carney government has taken policy cues from the fossil fuel and AI sectors. This past October, the prime minister directly referenced in a speech the organization Build Canada, which is led by and associated with tech, oil, and gas billionaires."

begging people to understand that Carney is terrible on climate, and his famous Tragedy of the Horizon speech was only ever about an investment pitch, not about actually mitigating climate change

This is fucking awful 😞

Just as there is going to be a global supply crisis no less!

No new AI datacenters. Anywhere.

The Walrus was a great Dead Milkmen song.
