Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today:
He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution
He’s fine with a recession
Americans can do with less
Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

The energy usage is what pushed me from merely refraining from using AI to being more of a Luddite, in the true historical sense, campaigning against it.
On a recent flight my seatmates learned I was a writer and asked my opinion on AI. They didn't understand genAI is based on work stolen from authors, and they DEFINITELY didn't know about the energy costs. Both shocked them. People just don't know.
Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.

If St. Augustine was here today, he would probably have an aneurysm at the fact that some people who profess to share his faith accumulate for the sake of accumulation.

Reminder that Smaug, literally the embodiment of greed in the Hobbit, has an estimated net worth of $62 billion. If he were real, that would place him as the 25th richest person in the world. There are 24 people who are greedier than the literal embodiment of greed.

I wonder how much good we Christians could do if we were more focused on acting on our faith convictions rather than just reacting to everyone else's?

It also happens to have a "deforesting to create more pastures for cows" problem because these oligarchs have created a culture in which we are governed by wants and are so used to having certain luxuries whenever we so desire.
I'm not saying don't eat meat. But maybe, idk, observe Lent?

Sometimes the pre-meal prayer needs to be less "Father, bless these your gifts to our use" and more "Father, forgive me for how I'm about to abuse my body by what I consume."

The Luddites weren't anti-technology because they were regressive but rather they destroyed and refused to use technology that was used to oppress workers.
