Remember when MAGA pretended to care about the Epstein files until they found out their guy was all over them?

I was listening to a neuroscientist talk about AI and human behavior, and he mentioned studies showing that when people let AI make decisions for them, they feel less morally responsible for the outcome. That genuinely stopped me cold.

Libraries are the real data centers, and they don't gobble up water and electricity.

the music that shaped generations was made without AI, creativity didn’t need it then, and it doesn’t need it now.

Pope Leo XIV on AI: “Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word [disarmed] is strong I know, but deliberately chosen because this moment needs words capable of attracting attention, awakening consciences, and indicating paths forward for humanity.”

Erin Brockovich has launched a website and has begun tracking all data centers in America and logging resident complaints In just 1 week it’s already logged 1,690 resident complaints For this who don’t remember Erin Brockovich was the paralegal responsible for winning out a case against PG&E, Hinckley in California, because their wastewater runoff was seeping into rural areas and creating a lot of health issues for, for the surrounding neighborhoods That case brought in a $333 million settlement that went to the families affected by the situation because a lot of them either had staggering medical bills due to their tap water was no longer safe So why is this important, well residents all over America are reporting their tap water and river water is being heavily polluted by data centers Her map of data centers is new, she just launched it The website features an interactive US map showing operational, under-construction, and proposed AI data centers, overlaid with community-reported complaints Residents can submit reports with details, photos, and locations. Within days of launch, it received a surge of submissions over 1,600 in the first week, and reports of 1,800+ from 47 states shortly after Common Resident Complaints Being Logged - Water usage - Raising utility bills for residents - Noise pollution: Constant 24/7 humming from fans, generators, and cooling systems disrupting sleep, daily life, and wildlife. - E-waste from frequent hardware upgrades, pollution including PFAS concerns

Bees are responsible for pollinating about one in three bites of the food we eat. They are far more important to humans than any AI tool or data center.

Our Editorial Director reflects on Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical ‘Magnifica humanitas,’ in which the Pope calls for technology to advance without causing the human heart to regress. vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2…

Teenagers have started calling AI art "boomer art" and consider it cringe, and YouTubers have stopped using AI-generated thumbnails because teenagers find them cringe and won't click on them. I honestly couldn't be happier.

Told by a 22 year old today… there is “no way” we were writing ten page papers without ai. Buddy, I was writing ten page papers without having read the book! Ok. We survived!

I’m trying to figure out how we went from “reduce your carbon footprint” to building AI pollution factories in every city.

Rest easy Neale. You've fought a great fight- for yourself and many others 💙💔

“It’s ableist to expect writers to write.” “Academics can’t read papers.” “How can a student possibly write a short essay?” You guys are slowly talking yourselves out of doing ANYTHING. It’s shameful how we now avoid any sort of intellectual effort. This is how brains die.

Until about three years ago, every song you've ever loved, every book you've ever devoured, every beautiful speech you've ever heard was written by a human. It's so sad what they've done to our sense of human capability x.com/SketchesbyBoze…

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

Whenever I read about men using AI to draft love notes for their wives, I feel a seething fury. That is something you could easily have done yourself, and it would have been a million times more meaningful. Technology is training us to be dependent and soulless.

why does no one care about the fact that we’re projected to run out of clean drinking water by 2039 because of how much water ai data centers use please stop using chatgpt y’all, i beg. you do not need a shitty looking cartoon of yourself, i promise. the planet is dying.

idk about yall but I’m so relieved that the robots are here to write fiction so us humans have plenty of time freed up to toil in the warehouses

@madsssagascar Art isn’t created in a vacuum. It’s a human response to human events. Studying art history is in essence a round about way of studying world history. I think a lot of people that are super pro AI art don’t realize this
