Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers

It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously

One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring

Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

squarespace site, hosting, adobe suite, linkedin premium - if we lived in a sane world, these things would be discounted for people who are job hunting.

sara 🌛 rubin @sararubin.bsky.social · 6d

These are wild. How do you inplement the texture on your shapes? Do you have it built into a brush? Or is that something you’re just laying under the drawing and then blocking on top? I’ve never seen that. I can’t believe you do these in an hour

totally but that is not what most of these bystanders seem to be asking for and while I think these actions are good they don’t do anything to the government just those specific companies

I don’t think it’s helpful to be hopeless but I am curious what bystanders are imagining we do short of getting ourselves killed or disappeared.

lotta ppl in countries with universal healthcare childcare and parental leave asking “why don’t americans do something!!??” What pray tell would you have regular people do in this situation beyond protesting and calling our reps which we already do - I am legitimately curious.

that's different and a real ocd thing!! I'm more referring to people who are asking complete randos if they will like something or if watching/consuming something is 'worth their time' like nobody can answer that but you king.... sometimes you watch a bad/underwhelming thing and thats fine

🌟 sever thy spirit 🌙

Digital drawing by Sara Rubin. A grey/purple figure with a pointed face like a bird sits in a grassy patch of flowers that is emerging from a golden portal. The figure is wearing a Pierrot style clown costume with a ruff collar. In his right hand he holds a glowing red heart. The portal is inscribed with the words 'Sever Thy Spirit'
