  Please people, you need to stop spreading this misinformation.

  AI is not killing the environment. If you track the sources of these claims, you will find that they first were spread by McKinsey and Bloomberg, who have a vested interest in publicly traded oil companies and other polluting corporations. They love to spread this misinformation because it distracts from the REAL environmental harms being caused by fossil fuels, meat farming, and concrete production.

  We need to stay focused on climate change and not get distracted. Our efforts should be focused efforts on stopping new coal plants and factory farms. Datacenters, and especially the one in indianapolis which wouldn’t even have used water for cooling, have minimal environmental impact compared to trump’s coal, oil, and farming policies which will kill tens of millions in the long run.

  This doesn’t surprise me. I know a gal who reported retaliation at Google and was immediately put on a secret HR blacklist that prevented her from getting above a certain perf rating. She was later “laid off” without cause.

  She recorded her chat with HR, and this is a direct quote from the HR person: “Oh, that’s not retaliation. That’s a very specific legal construct. It sounds like what your manager is doing is more like retribution.”

  PSA: Don’t buy a gaming laptop. They are trash. The plastic case will melt, the wifi card will come loose, the battery will die within minutes. A steam deck is truly your best option.
