@ainiriand @gerrymcgovern even if demand could keep up, the ewaste is not just a disposal problem but one that obviously generates huge amount of pollution in production of materials and in manufacturing |
@ainiriand @gerrymcgovern the data center power consumption is growing faster than renewable power generation so some states are having to reopen coal plants to avoid power outages. This idiotic “AI revolution” is undoing the little progress we’ve made on decarbonizing the economy. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/interactive/2024/data-centers-internet-power-source-coal/
