To be fair, it was turning the frogs gay. I feel like we need to evaluate the cost-to-benefit tradeoff between completely destroying the human race as we know it and having amphibians and other species that don't conform to traditional gender roles. It's a tough choice.
I keep wondering when they'll propose using coal to heat methane clathrates in the arctic for methane extraction. It really does seem like they're actively trying to warm the earth at this point.
Scotland built some wind turbines off the coast in view of one of his shitty properties. That's literally all it is, the worst part is they actually look cool far more interesting than say a rig. Also the Scots should burn down the buildings on his property.
Rich people have ALWAYS hated air turbines for some reason. Growing up I remember them complaining about them "ruining their views" and becoming an "obstacle for boats" because there was a turbine farm something like 10 miles offshore. The sad thing is that rich people have so much money they can pay to have it shut down.
Idk if he even has beliefs at this point pretty sure he just believes whatever his handlers / Fox News jam into his ears atp. Anything to have attention and grift some more.
Canadian here. Nothing irritates me more than politicians (and the journalists reporting their bullshit) that espouse "clean coal" or "clean natural gas" or go on and on. It's not fucking clean. Shut the fuck up.
Yeah it annoying. It also makes no sense to me that a party that pushes independence from other countries wouldn’t want renewables. Like nah let’s just buy oil instead. I hope Canada does well yall are my escape plan.
It's because they don't care about the workers dying from black lung and embrace the IBDYD mentality. I'll be dead, you'll be dead so who fucking cares about future generations?
I believe AI is a great tool that we should develop further. But we need to be smart about it. Power-usage is stupidly important, and researchers have been looking at spiking neural networks (SNNs) for a while as a lower-powered option which more closely mimics the way the human brain works. I'm not a ML-researcher, but to me that translates to "biglier smarts and smallier electrickimicity". Maybe I'm wrong.
Now, from my drunk layman's understanding, SNNs haven't quite gotten to the point of giving outputs which are as useful as traditional artificial neural networks (ANNs). So there's an obvious reason they haven't become the standard. But does it really make sense for tech bros to invest billions building these datacenters across the globe for a model that is...likely to be obsolete, just because "AI" is the hype-word du jour? I don't think so. Seems to me that it makes more sense to pour research money into SNNs. But what do I know, I'm just a country hyper-chicken.
I've wondered the same, but without even knowing about SNNs. I just wonder how long this kind of scale will be needed? Or will something akin to Moore's Law or changes in software/algorithms make what is being built out (and the related power/water uses) irrelevant?
Apparently I got drunk and posted about SNNs. Awesome. Don't take anything I said as, in any way, valid. I'm a moron and this is wildly outside of my domain. Apologies for any confusion I may have caused with my idiocy.

Only because Trump keeps canceling Wind and Solar projects.

But it's for AI and the huge benefits and this time the hype is different and meaningful!

Once AI takes over they'll switch from coal to humans in pods. Very eco friendly. Saw it in a documentary years ago.

That was all Neo-Zionist propaganda.

Taco has a real fear of windmills for some weird reason. What did windmills ever do this jagoff, I wonder?

Affected the view of one of his properties, then became a dog whistle for his politics.

So... We'll use all that AI power to solve the climate crisis it's helping to exacerbate then? At what point does this house of cards collapse?
