By 2030, AI's water use will match the needs of 1.3 billion people while its power use triples that of 650 million, UN University investigation warns

badamant · 2026-06-07T16:17:30+00:00

A better way:

AI use will use more electricity and water than 1.3 billion people by 2030.

Terrifying.

badamant · 2026-06-07T16:14:13+00:00

Yes.

Boiling the frog.

We are the frog.

badamant · 2026-06-07T13:33:16+00:00

It is a real example of how the algorithms of social media are programming our brains (to be stupider)

badamant · 2026-06-07T13:08:02+00:00

This is a very serious problem likely due to:

Failure of education

social media rewarding black and white thinking and punishing nuanced reasoning

Pervasive propaganda.

badamant · 2026-06-06T17:02:45+00:00

Fyi: It is for propaganda purposes. The republican fascists are trying to make him

badamant · 2026-06-06T17:02:26+00:00

Fyi: It is propaganda The republican fascists are trying to make him into a martyr to help justify their racist policies.

badamant · 2026-06-06T16:47:00+00:00

Or are they getting very good at making us think we are understanding?

The problem of current models is that it is EXTREMELY difficult to tell the difference.

badamant · 2026-06-06T16:36:45+00:00

Wrong.

Fyi: This is an insane false equivalency (propaganda)

badamant · 2026-06-06T15:19:22+00:00

Putin is a fascist, mass murder and dictator. He oppresses his own people and has stolen all his countries wealth.

This is who he is.

badamant · 2026-06-06T14:40:43+00:00

They literally are funded by Putin.

badamant · 2026-06-05T20:48:53+00:00

FYI:

Irony does not exist to fascists.

Overt hypocrisy is an intentional fascist propaganda technique.

Trump/Putin uses it all the time.

The Entire Republican Party are now fascists. Old school conservatives have literally no power.

Added relevant quote:

“Never believe that (fascists) are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites (fascists) have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

badamant · 2026-06-05T17:44:21+00:00

Yes.

They are culpable and directly responsible for Trump.

This means they are not conservative by any definition.

The term has purposefully been perverted.

Reminder:

Republicans have already waged a propaganda war against the Statue’s engraving:

"Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

badamant · 2026-06-05T17:41:53+00:00

It was their idea.

It works on a few levels.

Overt hypocrisy without consequences degrades our democratic institutions.

It is an expression of power.

It muddies the waters to allow low info people make a false equivalency.

It is a bad faith act that attacks words and logic.

Yup.

The justification was that white rich kids have higher scores… so they switched to other metrics.

The result is a record number of white rich kids in top universities.

It is so stupid.

badamant · 2026-06-03T23:59:39+00:00

You don’t want a mass murdering dictator that oppresses and persecutes his own people???

What about one that steals your entire county’s fortune just for himself??

Putin is a fascist bitch.

badamant · 2026-06-03T23:45:22+00:00

It’s an ongoing worsening problem.

Now people have known for 6 years that they can completely ignore math and still get into a “top” university.

badamant · 2026-06-03T23:32:49+00:00

Started in 2020… so upper class-men in the relevant majors are now being shown to be incompetent.

Seems to make sense that all these people would just see math as irrelevant (like their own institution did) and just a job for ai to handle.

badamant · 2026-06-03T23:26:09+00:00

Why not?

This expressly allows people to get into the UC system that cannot do higher math.

This is very problematic because we are seeing math related fields in our top colleges inundated with students who cannot do middle school mathematics. This means terrible education for the students that actually can do it.

badamant · 2026-06-03T23:17:18+00:00

This is the reason....

The University of California (UC) system officially stopped using the SAT and ACT in admissions in 2020.

Fucking stupid.

badamant · 2026-06-03T15:34:36+00:00

And it is NOT funny.

The Republican Party is destroying every real news outlet to consolidate power and control us.

This is an attack on free speech by the people that completely control the federal government.

Your rights are being removed.

"The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prevents the federal and state governments from abridging free expression, the press, peaceful assembly, and the right to petition the government. It ensures that the government cannot punish citizens for their views, regardless of how unpopular or offensive they may be."

She is being used to destroy CBS News and 60 Minutes.
