Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans.
Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills.
Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

Cool update to last week’s story on why language doesn’t equal intelligence: a Michigan judge cited it to justify imposing sanctions over a ChatGPT-assisted filing that mentioned real cases but misstated their facts. Congrats to author @benjaminjriley.bsky.social!
![Court filing: LLMs are tools
that “emulate the communicative function of language, not the separate
and distinct cognitive process of thinking and reasoning.” Benjamin
Riley, Large language mistake, The Verge https://www.theverge.com/aiartificial-intelligence/827820/large-language-models-ai-intelligenceneuroscience-problems [https://perma.cc/7EHD-PLLZ]. When an LLM
overstates a holding of a case, it is not because it made a mistake when
logically working through how that case might represent a
“nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing
law or for establishing new law;” it is just piecing together a plausiblelooking sentence – one whose content may or may not be true.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7exlcsle4mjfhu3wnhcgizz6/bafkreicn2dgmwtlqwhdwlaijx5g66yqghjogfszcdp4d4afeyjfgwht2pi@jpeg)

Nissan Leaf redesign looks like a Tesla (not a good start) with a chin. BMW’s I Series fronts look like Sid from Ice Age. Dacia Jogger’s look like they’re made for racing to the graveyard. The back of the Hyundai Santa Fé is devoid of any sense/taste. What in the world is wrong with car designers?

150 of these jobs in Ireland. Scumbag big tech “leaders”.
Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Seeing Amazon letting 14,000 staff go (150 in Ireland), while they prime themselves for replacing hundreds of thousands of workers with robots, is a firm reminder that these scumbags in charge don’t care about workers. Fuck Amazon. Fuck big tech. Support local.

No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.
