Wow.
A book is coming out that looks interesting. Guardian did a piece on it and I went searching for the book and it has two different titles between EU/UK/CA and the US.
“Plastic Inc: Big Oil, Big Money and The Plan To Trash Our Future”
“Plastic Inc: The Secret History and Shocking Future of Big Oil’s Biggest Bet”
Guess which one is the US title?

@jblue plastic recycling is one of the biggest scams of our lifetime IMO

@jblue I'll look for it after it gets into the used market because as much as I've read on plastics, I'm always looking to see updates & any new possible perspectives.

@danjones000 @Matt_Noyes electricity is only about 1/3 of global emissions. All data centers, including AI datacenters, are only 1% of electricity usage. That makes 0.3% of total emissions.
Much more emissions are due to cars, meat, cement production and rice cultivation.
I recognize that AI has a lot of electricity use; it is nothing compared to the other things you do with your time.

Energy from training

Oh no, Deep Space Nine auto-played after Starfleet Academy. Now I have to watch the whole thing for the third or fourth time. No other option, I guess.

Another application for AI. Have an AI bot go to a conference for me and listen to everything. Only tell me about the things that I would be interested in.

@evan@cosocial.ca The article that @Matt_Noyes@social.coop posted in the thread pretty clearly laid out the massive amount of electricity that AI data centers are using. That article isn't the only one saying the same thing. AI is using massive amounts of power.
Traditional server racks consume 5-15 kW, while AI-optimized racks with high-performance GPUs require 40-60+ kW. Some cutting-edge AI training facilities are pushing individual racks to 100+ kW, fundamentally changing data center design and cooling requirements. (ref)
It doesn't really matter if the power is coming from requests to the API, running the models, training the models, or making ritual sacrifices to Baphomet in hopes of making the models sentient.
If someone is using AI, they are indirectly contributing to that power usage. If you can acknowledge that and make peace with it, fine. But, saying that the energy cost is minimal in light of this is ignoring reality.

@dandylyons@iosdev.space buried in there are shots fired at JSON-LD 🤣
> An early attempt to introduce a structured notation for chalkboard content, known as JSON-LD (Joint Standardised Notation for Leisure Displays), was proposed by a committee of the British Beer and Pub Association in 2004. The notation required events to be written in a rigid format with bracketed metadata: “[TYPE:quiz][DAY:thu][TIME:20:00] QUIZ NIGHT.” It was trialled at four pubs in Reading and abandoned within a week after staff refused to use it on grounds that it “looked like someone had a stroke while writing the board.”

Milano: «Scomodo» e un libro di Michele Gambino
@anarchia
di Giuliano Spagnul. Via Tofane a Milano, che affianca il Naviglio della Martesana, si trova in quella periferia a nord-est che ha visto “nel giro di pochi anni, quattro fiorenti borghi [diventare una] superaffollata zona 10”.

@naturzukunft2026@mastodon.social what's a "show thread" request?
