literally every reason you can think of that they use to not invest in clean energy (not cost effective yet, tech isnt there yet, etc) is 100% true of ai by the way, the difference is that clean energy will mean less money for rich people and ai means more money for rich people

Every human being everywhere on earth should have all the tasty food, and good and safe housing, and a fantastic education through graduate school, and all the healthcare they need or want, all for free.
There is more than enough wealth on this planet to do that. We just need to divide it fairly.

Meta is incapable of innovating. Is growth comes through predatory acquisition and mindless, ethics-optional engagement slop at unmanageable scale. The CEO is a creepy, technofascist manbaby.

Canada’s debt is modest, self-financed, and stable. Yet we are told to accept austerity as the “responsible” path forward. Deficit panic is really a strategy to limit what’s politically imaginable—universal services, public housing, and climate action.
