    Un numero, a mio parere, spaventoso. E che io 56enne capisco solo superficialmente. In Italia 200mila , impatto maggiore su ragazze tra i 13-15 anni https://www.rainews.it/articoli/2026/03/in-italia-200mila-hikikomori-impatto-maggiore-su-ragazze-tra-i-13-15-anni-la-ricerca-e913dc31-50f6-4d0d-8f2d-46fdf36d91c2.html

    @timbray my previous job was building greenhouse gas inventories.

    Data centres are responsible for about 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions. AI is responsible for about 15% of the data centre emissions, or about 0.15% of global emissions.

    People who talk about AI burning up the planet don't spend a lot of time thinking about what's really burning up the planet: fossil fuels for transportation and heating, deforestation, and cattle.

    @timbray When a new data centre is built it will take resources from the utility or add its own new generation. In the Bad Place (and many other places) this means it's likely adding new fossil fuel consumption infrastructure and increasing carbon emissions. Until recently that country was matching growth in utility generation with renewables: growth was 'green'. That has changed due to their stupidity and due to unregulated new generation like Musk's data centre(s) etc.

    It's a bit dumb to say cars are worse because while yes they are, in sane countries we are starting to manage that problem well with electrification, changes to the fleet.

    New data centres are generally bad, because they are designed to generate slop for the enrichment of the already very harmfully wealthy class and because they require new power generation that is almost certainly not coming from renewables.

    @timbray Is it just me, or do the guys doing the calculations on "entire energy consumption for an LLM programmer versus a human programmer" seem worryingly close to declaring that entire subsections of the population aren't worth the energy consumption, could be replaced by "AI", and would happily suggest culling them as if the only value of a person is lines of code generated 😐

    @timbray That number for LLM energy is bullshit, and the source in that thread appears to be something Sam Altman blogged, who as we know is someone who never just makes stuff up. (His post reads like ChatGPT voice, which of course it is) There is some severe weaseling be off by at least an order of magnitude—maybe the average query is "What day is it". Non-trivial queries light up 5-10kW of rack and that runs for significantly longer than seconds. This is roughly the same as a moving EV car.

    Just to not forget the economic extraction that we're suffering from BigTech.

    Now, of course a #BuyEurope campaign may help mobilise some to Europe, but how do we avoid growing European BigTech in the process? I think the answers lies in combining #commons with #cooperativism and free/libre open source as a precondition. These three traditions bring thousands, hundreds and decades experience to the table respectively, and bringing them together is the sweetspot, the win-win-win, for people, planet and collective profit.@DigitalCoup @andreas @ela

    Over 40 years, we were collectively told to give tax cuts to rich people.And we were told that if we did that, wealth would trickle down and everyone would be better off.Over 40 years, pretty much everything got cut to fund these tax cuts.Schools. Hospitals. Public housing. Public transport. Universities. Roads projects. Mental health services. Welfare payments.People literally went homeless or starved, so rich people could get tax cuts.Because the wealth would trickle down.Eventually the eroding of public goods caused social dislocation.So governments further cut those public goods to fund more police and prisons. To continue giving tax cuts to rich people.But they said the wealth would trickle down.Eventually the climate started changing because of the amount of toxic fossil fuel pollution in the atmosphere.So governments chose to keep the tax cuts rather than fund infrastructure to reduce emissions.(Many of those billionaires getting tax cuts made their money selling toxic fossil fuels.)And as the oceans and atmosphere warmed, the bushfires, droughts, hurricanes, cyclones, floods, and droughts got worse.But they said the wealth would trickle down.Eventually people were getting pissed off at the dire state of the world.The rich misdirected that anger at immigrants!And First Nations!And trans people!And neurodivergent people!Anyone but the billionaires who got the tax cuts.So governments chose to keep the tax cuts. (For the rich. Everyone else got new tariff taxes.)But they said the wealth would trickle down.So did the wealth trickle down?Well...A group of billionaires saw this kinda cool tech demo.It predicted the next pixel of an image, based on the colour patterns of every image on the internet.It also predicted the next word in a sentence, based on an analysis of every piece of writing on the internet.The rich decided that this clearly showed that a sentient computer was just around the corner.The problem was these tech demos needed servers with a lot of GPUs to work.So the rich took all the money they got from those tax cuts.And they bought GPUs.Millions and millions and millions and millions of GPUs.All the tax cuts? All the underfunded schools? All the draconian welfare cuts? All the public housing shortages? The delays in funding clean energy.In the end, it didn't trickle down.And instead of all the public goods it could have bought......We'll be left with millions and millions and millions of GPUs in a landfill.#ChatGPT #Claude #AI #LLM #capitalism #socialism #business #politics #Nvidia
