I will take a look at the original article.

But again I’m going to restate that the article you posted uses tech oligarchs as primary sources. Which just on the face of it looks like green washing.

Edit: I read the paper. Yeah the conclusion is tech is seriously underestimating water and carbon footprint. We don’t have exact figures because they don’t disclose them. But from what we can gather the information they are giving us substantially down plays the environmental impact.

So, we don’t have exact figures. And acting as though we do using tech oligarch statistics is greenwashing 🤷‍♀️

For anyone following along.

The usage metrics for energy that support his argument came from Sam Altman. And this is also terrible reasoning in regard to water usage, because it doesn’t really matter that the prompts are only 0.3ml. Since the rest comes from generating a response. Also, it’s 0.5 -1.5l of water not 2 ml. Because again he’s using AI tech oligarchs as his source, in this case, Google. So the water usage is minimized by an order of magnitude.

However, that 2 mL of water is mostly the water used in the normal power plants the data center draws from. The prompt itself only uses about 0.3 mL, so if you’re mainly worried about the water data centers use per prompt, you use about 300,000 times as much every day in your normal life.

Your parent comment got nine down votes and coupled with this one I’m going to just call it what it is, you were trolling.

So don’t act all surprised Pikachu that somebody is arguing with you.

They being the establishment Democrats. And working as a civilian at the local air force base isn’t exactly a red flag to me. I mean, I held my nose and voted for the DA. Even ignoring her policies on fracking and the campaign advice she was getting from her brother in law. The brother in law who is quite complicit in destroying the working class btw.

Anyway, here’s some nuance from Wikipedia concerning Turner-Sloss. Her backing by many progressive organizations. And how the establishment Democratic Party for the county conspired against her. They are the they I am referring too.

"Turner-Sloss was first elected in 2021, garnering about 29% of the votes in the 4-way general election.[13][15][16] She campaigned alongside incumbent commissioner Darryl Fairchild,[17] who finished in second and was re-elected to another term. In that election Turner-Sloss was endorsed by the Ohio Working Families Party,[18] Our Revolution Ohio, the Dayton chapter of the Sunrise Movement,[19] and other progressive organizations and labor unions including her own, the American Federation of Government Employees local 1138.[2]

Though a member of the Democratic Party, she has been considered “outside the establishment”.[20] She was not endorsed by the Montgomery County Democratic Party during any of her campaigns, including the successful one in 2021. In fact, the Montgomery County Democratic Party released attack ads against Turner-Sloss and Fairchild, for which the Ohio Democratic Party issued an apology, stating that the ads “violated several of their mailer policies.”.[21] The controversy resulted in the resignation of the county party’s Executive Director,[22] the retirement of the county party Chair,[23] and an official apology of the county party Central Committee which stated that “Commissioner Fairchild and candidate Turner-Sloss – and all their supporters – are valued members of the county party.”[22]

If they are progressive, then why are they scared of progressives running?

Gender is sociology. Essentially caste and class roles.

Sex is biology.

Folks that like to conflate the two want gender roles to be immutable.

No, it’s showing what’s in my pants. Or was in my pants at birth if I’ve had an operation. And if my gender presentation doesn’t match someone’s expectations, it means I will potentially get detained or harassed. Or possibly even arrested depending on the country.

So the intent is to hurt the trans community. And being all, ‘well actually’ about it being sex assigned at birth feels like a bad faith take.

Which is why you’re getting downvoted.

Their point was that due process isn’t just for citizens. It applies to everyone.

Because most of voters are ignorant and don’t understand that due process applies regardless.

Stay safe out there.

And the other 40% sell mushrooms and make no money either way.

Populist… It’s the second word in your quoted definition probably because it’s important

Venezuela also has the largest oil reserves in the world.

No, Chuck Schumer was simply ordering them to do what his donors wanted.

Just that one poster.

I don’t know if that was the only possibility.

But yes, Kamala was to the right of Nixon. And cranked the ratchet effect hard during her run.

The fracking, Gaza, and ties to Uber was especially disgusting imo.

I wouldn’t be surprised if in that timeline a more competent fascist took 2028.

Yeah, she also was going on about fracking.

Campaign was like “see, I’m left of Trump and he’s literally the devil. Never mind that I’m to the right of Nixon myself. Blue no matter who! Shame on you for not bothering to vote.”

I dislike Trump. I mean he’s evil and is trying to erase me.

But I hate Kamala. Because betrayal cuts deeper.

What’s the compromise with the neighbors across the street that voted to put half their neighbors in concentration camps and outlaw abortion?

Do we throw brown folks under the bus? Women? Transfolks like myself?

Which out group do we let them hurt in the name of compromise?

This about sums it up.
