Gen Z is just more extreme in their views, regardless of what their actual politics are.
The rightists want a Reich, the leftists want a global communist revolution, and there’s no center.

/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

Just grow em in a lab. Dirt diamonds are for boomers.
Yeah, as of aesthetic imperfections can’t be grown in a lab.
“They” aren’t on Lemmy dude. Our underwater basket weaving forum is safe.
He could still pardon them all, it’s not like his hand would cramp from signing too many papers! Go through, one by one, and pardon them all.
And all the people on federal death row, that Trump is going to kill.
And all the people with federal marijuana charges.
And people like Leonard Peltier and Julian Assange while he’s at it.
What’s stopping him?
If everything else was legal, people would stop dying from drugs laced with fent.
I’m not saying it’s okay, but to give some historical context, literally every president of the past 80 years and the next 5 presidents would have and will do what Biden has done towards Israel.
Ronald fucking Reagan forced Israel into a ceasefire with Lebanon, Syria, and the Palestine Liberation Organization. And it was a real ceasefire, unlike the current joke of a ceasefire Israel has with Lebanon that it keeps violating, and it held for a long-ass time.
I care that he’s not pardoning people in immigration detention. Instead he just pardons his crackhead son and leaves.
again this is great, but can i have concrete numbers on this shit and not just some schizo ramblings telling me it’s “more than a city actually”
In the article it directly tells you "the facilities could increasingly demand a gigawatt or more of power — one billion watts — or about twice the residential electricity consumption of the Pittsburgh area last year.
fun fact, if you google list of US cities, you’ll find there are about 300 of them. so using the same level of information you provided in your previous comment i can determine that AI power consumption, must be 1/300th and just a little bit more than that, of a national US city power consumption metric, this is ignoring most industry, and most rural consumption as well.
I provided a link. Did you not see it?
wow an irrelevant article on an irrelevant topic, sure do remember typing “china has really shitty air quality AS A RESULT OF ALL THE POWER CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION THEY HAVE” too bad i didn’t explicitly type:
Why are you talking to me this way? 🤔
oh wow, look at that, china consumes almost twice as much energy as the US.
Yeah, because we outsourced our industry to them. They consume that electricity making stuff for us. It’s all for external consumption. It’s real easy to reduce electricity consumption when you shut down your manufacturing capacity lol
oh wow, if you look at the total percent, china blows literally every other country out of the water.
Again, they make everything for everyone else. They’re the world’s factory. Just because a widget is manufactured in China doesn’t actually mean China is the sole country responsible for the emissions from manufacturing the widget. If they make a solar panel and then that solar panel is used in the US, there’s this neat little carbon accounting trick the US can do where it says that it reduced carbon emissions while not accounting for the carbon emitted from actually making the solar panel.
looks like the US is consuming about 20% of all production from coal fired power production. And it looks like china is consuming about 60% of all production from coal fired power production.
China has to keep increasing its base load of energy production to produce all of our shit for us. They’re kind of forced into this “all of the above” energy production system because they don’t have the capacity to actually transition.
Yet even so, new energy production capacity is not coming from coal. Why are we talking about this anyway? We were talking about how AI is consuming lots of energy, what the fuck does China have to do with it? China makes useful stuff with the energy they consume! AI makes bad art, bad articles, bad videos, bad music, and bad customer service bots. It’s garbage.
AI is just burning energy for nothing.
You mean to tell me a technologically fresh and relevant field has popped onto the market and it’s leading to a massive increase in consumption of electricity, because it consumes electricity? Yeah, that sounds like industry to me.
Yes, and because it’s causing a massive increase in the consumption of electricity it’s causing lots of pollution.
BTW, recommend looking into the electrical infrastructure for china, they consume WAY more electricity than the US, and have vastly dirtier production. So if we’re going to complain about AI, go complain about chinese AI training instead.
🤔
They had families, so yes, that’d be a good place to start reparations.
is it a massive contributor? I would venture to argue that air conditioning globally, is probably equally as large, if not larger.
I would argue that most industries, consume more energy. Though it’s also worth noting microsoft spun up the good TMI core to generate power for AI (iirc at the very least a datacenter), so in some cases it is actually consuming cleanly generated power
It’s a new contributor, which means it is contributing on top of already existing contributors like air conditioning and other industries. But even if you include them It’s also particularly bad i.e. data centers powering artificial intelligence could use more electricity than entire cities
Although there are definitely optimizations to be made in terms of how food is consumed. It’s not a black and white, unless you want to live in a strictly controlled environment where you get fed synthetic nutrient paste every few hours. In which case, by all means.
I just want us to live within our energy budget so we don’t cook ourselves.
Sounds like you think we should use the diamonds. I wouldn’t be cool with using those diamonds because they belong to the people who were forced to mine them, not me.
But they aren’t running it on clean power? And so it is a massive contributor?
That’s like saying it’s fine to waste food because it can theoretically be grown sustainably, even when the food you’re wasting wasn’t.
Do the concepts “reparations” or “compensation for loss and damage” mean anything to you?
The people who were exploited should be the ones to benefit from those diamonds.
Oh fuck I was just thinking about how to solve my need for a heavy blanket while not constantly overheating and waking up.
You read the Adjuster’s manifesto? It’s neither “liberal” nor “conservative”, but rather, has elements of both the left and right i.e. moderate according to your data. That’s just the US. People are incoherent in their ideas.
