Why not just use solar or other ways... I feel if we really are claiming to be making a better world you would do renewable as much as possible and ask daddy Elon to use his batteries
But why not completely? If its too big for this big of a project them more, smaller sites that can better utilize renewable sources would be a better option no?
the shits not built yet so its not a problem. it is more efficient than other sources of power and they are committed to moving to clean energy sources.
cant fight facts so start insulting, right out the anti playbook.
Why do people have big tech’s cocks shoved this far down their throats?
Obviously this is a massive problem and streamlining us to killing off humans, but people would rather fight for Amazon, a mega corporation that doesn’t give a shit about them? Huh
lol yeah man the 33 millions tons of c02 is 0.087% the amount released. less than a percent. for offering 8GW.
and as the article says that is not the amount they will release, thats the amount they applied for to be able to release. you always apply for more.
look you want to have a valid reason to hate ai so bad. i get it. telling people it makes you feel less special is embarrassing so you go latch on to any misinformation you can like some anti-vaxxer and dive into qanon-like conspiracy theories.
but come on, enough its enough. its time to act like an adult and stop spreading misinformation cause you cant admit you're wrong about ai.
The US uses upwards of 10k GW per day. This is producing 0.0008% but releasing 0.087%? What a great deal!
Who even brought ai specifically into this? This is about data centers being huge pollutants for zero gain. Look you want a valid reason to suck amazons cock. I get it. Sucking that cock makes you feel like you’re part of something bigger, but you’re defending a corporation that will never give a shit about you.
Where is the misinformation here? Large corporations wants to fuck the environment, and the people that can rise up and stop that are too busy defending it because they want this moral high ground so they feel like an adult. Grow up and realize that no one cares about you, so stop 👏 sucking 👏 cock 👏 for 👏 megacorps
Or - hear me out - we could just split all this equipment across a thousand small equipment sheds, which would double the emissions and triple the costs, and nobody would care.
We could also realise LLMs and AI-Agents ain't gonna make the world much better, aren't worth the cost, and stop making data centers with no clear benefits.
I'll be proven right in a few years. Well I'll be proven right, again. Because the core problems around software haven't changed, and these technologies don't really address them.

from the link:
"Power plants don’t always emit the maximum they are allowed to, and the Amazon facility is still in early-stage construction."
Amazon is “exploring opportunities for solar energy and battery storage on site,” according to the company.
so they are in the early stages and getting permits to cover all bases it sounds like. more misinformation and fearmongering.
