ai hype, data centers, crypto

Below is a list of many of my links on these topics.

I’ve been screaming out on the ai crypto data center topic since 2022 because of it is intertwined with public health, and after trying out a chatbot in early 2023, I noticed right away it was very familiar. I was immediately reminded of gambling, video games, big tobacco, social media, and quickly came to realize that it was a vessel to promote fossil fuel.

New data centers, what are they for? Speculation on a bizarre & flawed futurism.

Another data center project sprung on people by surprise in Missouri by politicians who signed NDAs.
