Um.. no. The resources needed to feed a large language model are available in the Internet Archive. If you limit it to websites that have not been online in the last 10 years, you won't even have to worry about copyright.

Yep- so Europe freezes- humanity has been dying there for ages. We'll just shift to other continents.

Hydroponic roofs, green walls, can reduce energy usage (due to increased insulation of the plants themselves), make growing food more local (grow the food where the people are, instead of trucking from many miles away) and actually look better than traditional landscaping around brutalist architecture.
