The food industry is dominated by just a handful of companies. The bigger these giants get, the more they are able to evade accountability, and destroy our planet NOT to feed society, but to fatten their own wallets.

So this week we've learned:
1) The AI goons CONFESSED they were committing the biggest theft in history.
2) The data centers really are sucking up all the energy during an energy shock.
3) AI almost caused a World War.

Oh, this is a useful set of statistics. You can use it to assess just what sort of numbers of JOBS the Government means when it says we need the data centres in Ireland for the JOBS.
You’d create more employment running a small chain of centras.
You’d create more employment running a small chain of centras.
The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force.
Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon.
Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism.
This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs.

Where are the GPUs? Undeployed, in warehouses because there's a cartel colluding to keep prices artificially high and keep the world dependent on inference capacity rented by about 6 companies.
NVIDIA has sold about $535bn of gpus and associated gear (mostly GPUs) in the data center segment since the beginning of fy2023 (February 2022). If Microsoft only has 2gw or so, I think it’s unlikely anyone else is even close. Where are the GPUs?

yes this is a critical feature of fascism. There is a significant minority of people who take PLEASURE in punishment and in making people they don't like suffer.
Was just watching “I’m Still Here”, a film about a family suffering under the Brazilian dictatorship, and one thing not discussed enough about the rise of fascism is: for a lot of people, it’s the perfect chance to unleash hate as a recreational activity. For them, it’s fun.
