"Hey let's report on farmers adding pollution to a water supply so bad it causes cancer, frame an unrelated actor and put cancer cells over an image of him"
This is so disrespectful to the victims. The people actually causing the cancer should be socially punished, not get off free. Insane.

here's what's gonna happen w/AI:
• normies are gonna demand fast, free AI BUT also no datacenters.
• the consumer model shifts to home AI rigs.
• electricity usage ⬆️⬆️⬆️. grid still struggles.
• Dems are forced to tax individual consumers or eat the political cost of infinite electric bills, forever.

water use would be more efficient if rightsholders internalized the opportunity costs of their marginal water use. bigcorps, especially those with lucrative use cases, revealing their water valuations would be a helpful step in this direction.

Buy Gillis's book! It's a blatantly anarchist defense of science—not as an institution, but as a practice—and gossipy recounting of academic drama that has implications lasting to today. It covers grifters, medical woo-ry, ableism, transphobia, abuse, conspiracy theorists, and so much more.
![Did the Science Wars Take Place? The Political and Ethical Stakes of Radical Realism by William Gillis.
Today, one faction of reactionaries denounce leftists as enemies of science, while another faction of reactionaries happily embrace that same role, attacking science as totalitarian. Words like "postmodernism" and "relativism" get thrown about with fervor but little clarity, echoes of a conflict from decades ago.
Is there actually a physical world and can we know anything about it?
Did academics on the left influence "post-truth" politics on the right?
How could supposed defenders of "science" get lost in a mire of transphobia?

A left without an exciting, inspiring vision of the future is one that will lose.
The idea that they "destroy communities" is absolutely absurd, and one of the top priorities of the left should be rolling out tons of solar, which is absurdly cheap now. Expensive electricity is a policy choice.

i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?
