Capitalism: the pursuit of finding ways to ruin a perfectly good thing.
Green energy is bad now?
Energy generation has constraints, whether it’s fuel, processing requirements, or the infrastructure’s generation capacity.
At best, this is proof of concept that will revolutionize the environmental impacts of Big Tech’s new and even more environmentally damaging data centers.
But we’ve seen that dog and pony show countless times whenever the environmental cost of data centers gets too much press.
This is most likely just a cynical PR prop to wave around, as the rest of the AI facilities aren’t run so “greenly”.
Definitely a cynical PR move.
Why does almost every post in Technology have some comment trying to bring up the “capitalism bad” topic in some way?
Are you trying to say that Communism would have done a better job?
We’ve already seen how that has played out a few times already.No one mentioned communism.
No one mentioned an alternative to capitalism and communism is the first that comes to mind.
Realistically what we have throughout the world (economically) is a mixture between capitalism and socialism. Some countries place more restrictions on corporations than other do. We already get that capitalism isn’t perfect, and I don’t think any realistically “perfect” systems exist.
So, if you’re going to make “capitalism is bad” comments, what are you proposing that is better than what most other countries are already using?
I’d be on board with it if we can show that it’s better.

Yes.

Yes indeed, the USSR had affordable housing, low homelessness, high employment, no rents, no bills and after a devastating land war against a superior power that flattened half the country, they still had the science and tech to beat the US to space (and develop nuclear tech without cowtowing to nazi scientists) and got the GDR to decriminalise homosexuality all while US still had Jim Crow laws. It is obvious to anyone - especially the corpos - that a planned economy is superior in allocation of resources.
Sure luxuries weren’t as available, but normal, working people lived comfortably and without financial stress.
That’s not to say that USSR’s own imperialist ambitions were misguided at best and crimes against humanity at worst, though.

Greenwashing AI you say?
Hopefully my loan interest will go down ever so slightly. Because this is ridiculous y’all. 💸
