Put the second session of the People's Forum on AI on your calendar! The first one was super inspiring, and this one will be too.

Last time we were AT CAPACITY for the church, so sign up in advance: actionnetwork.org/events/ai-pe...

It's time to change the trajectory.

A new state-by-state evaluation of the projected energy and water use of "AI" data centers in the US. Looks… real bad. Like, "undoing tech sector climate gains" bad.

Strongly recommends immediately ensuring any & all new "AI" data centers to run on existing & expanded renewables grids. Which… yeah.

The Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, @amzn4climate.bsky.social, are asking Amazon to say
- No AI with dirty energy.
- No AI without employee voices.
- No AI for violence, surveillance, or mass deportation.

I just signed their open letter. You should too!

We need to make sure that people understand that we need clean, affordable energy, and data centers are standing in the way of that future.

Head to the link below to find ways to take action!
AI data centers must run on 100% renewable energy
Tech giants must invest in cheaper and cleaner renewable energy options for AI data centers

The AI bubble may be about to bust.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

Expropriate their asses instead.

They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

$1 billion data centre to maybe create 100 jobs. That's likely an overstatement.

It is truly not worth draining the living word for this vampiric tech and people are starting to realize it.

Absolute must read on the AI bailout-in-progress: apparently it's not enough that lifetimes of human ingenuity and creativity have been stolen and enclosed to create generative AI and balloon billionaire wealth - much more public looting is in store...
This week Open AI walked back a call for the govt to backstop financing for its trillion dollar investments in data centers. This was only the tip of the iceberg; a slow bailout for AI firms is already underway. Read more from @ambakak.bsky.social and I in @wsj.com: www.wsj.com/opinion/you-...

@karenhao.bsky.social TYSM for posting about our open letter campaign! Many of us are reading your book and see a lot of parallels with OpenAI's empire-building and Amazon's empire-building. We're trying to reach as many of our coworkers as possible!
This is an incredible effort among Amazon employees to pressure their employer:

"We believe that the all-costs-justified, warp-speed approach to AI development will do staggering damage to democracy, to our jobs, and to the earth."

We've all heard the rumors that this was coming. Whether Amazon is truly replacing employees with AI, or just trying to show that that's what companies can do when they use AI...it's one of many reasons we're concerned about Amazon's use of AI, and why we're standing up.

There's been endless talk about an AI bubble, but less about exactly how, why, and how much it's a bubble. So I turned to the framework put forward by scholars Brent Goldfarb and David A. Kirsch, authors of "Bubbles and Crashes," for assessing tech bubbles.

Spoiler: On a scale of 1 to 8, AI is an 8
AI Is the Bubble to Burst Them All
I talked to the scholars who literally wrote the book on tech bubbles—and applied their test.

Exactly this.
In short, the problem here is not that Signal ‘chose’ to run on AWS. The problem is the concentration of power in the infrastructure space that means there isn’t really another choice: the entire stack, practically speaking, is owned by 3-4 players. 11/
