The development around previously-agrarian weather sites into urban heat islands is already a big contributor to the rise in the temperature record attributed to anthropogenic CO2 emissions causing climate change. Now they'll just have a way to double the claimed harm -- the CO2 emissions from the power plants fueling the data centers, and the waste heat from the centers themselves sited on ex-farmland.

Diabeetus!

Damn, now I won't be able to create Sora videos with lightsaber fighting cats or a mustachioed crusty old Wilford Brimley giving dire warnings of diabetes and crab people! What's this world coming to?

Or with a router that lets you save access logs, track the host names the fridge accesses, and add them to a custom host table that maps them all to 0.0.0.0 -- and if it uses direct IP addresses for their ad servers, put them on a block list. If the ad connection attempt fails to exit your local network, you don't get any ads.

LMAO. Touché!

The price being what's marked on the shelf tag isn't the problem; the problem is going to the supermarket at, say, 0600 on a Tuesday morning and the 28-ounce container of Maxwell House coffee is $14.99, but if you shop at 1100 on a Saturday, the same product is tagged $16.99, because there are more shoppers and more demand. Or, in a more excessive case of fearmongering ridiculous scenarios, using AI hooked to the cameras that are all through stores to track shoppers, judge their financial status based on their appearance, and scale prices accordingly -- not only would this require a great deal more discrimination on the part of the AI system than they seem to be capable of now, but has the additional overhead of tracking the tagged price for the customer that took the product off the shelf and link it to the register -- and it doesn't account for trivial counters like person A doing the shopping, then turning the cart over to person B for the checkout.

It's not the chemistry or physics that will determine if it gets done; it will be the economics of it. The power will have to come from somewhere, so even if a government uses taxpayer funds to pay for embedding these inductive charging circuits in the roads, it will need a secondary system to identify who's getting power from those circuits so they can be billed for it.

And from the image showing the package just being dropped out the back, it's perpetuating the account I recall from many years ago about MIT shipping a recording accelerometer to CalTech via, IIRC, UPS, with it recording periods of weightlessness punctuated by accelerations of up to 30G.

Why not shit on a company versus AI?

At least the latter doesn't have any adversarial designs against employees, unlike --- well, every corporation ever.

Well, do be fair, who needs human content anyway?

(Totally not AI generated.)

Who needs C:// anyway?

Oh no! Why God, why?

Rock on CloudFlare!

I'll negotiate for US$1B!

Bwah ha ha ha ha!

Windmills don't kill corn. Windmills don't kill clams. They might scare some fish initially due to low frequency vibrations but they will probably adapt. The bird-killing issue is a thing but they've found that they can minimize it somewhat with different paint on the blades.

Yes there are negative issues, just like any other infrastructure project, but you have to weigh them, and you can't let your own ideological alignment get in the way.

Trump hates windmills because he hates how they look near his properties. He has a particular issue and then builds an ideological theme to support it. People get roped into ideology and stop weighing the costs and risks in favor of being a *movement*.

Opposite side of the isle it's just as bad, they're terrible at seeing the benefits of nuclear on ideological growns. They hate burning fossil fuels so bury their head in the sand at plastic incineration being more efficient and overall less carbon intensive than recycling programs.

Offshore windfarms aren't any more harmful than offshore oil rigs, and in practice offshore oil rigs are beneficial for the local ecosystem by adding a habitat (excellent fishing btw).
