“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.
100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.
That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

Fun Fact: when I started my last job at a gaming magazine, my ex-boss got a "concerned" call from a German EA representative because they didn't like how I handled my livestreams 🤡
Thankfully nothing happened back then, but stories like that really don't surprise me

![from wikipedia's kane and lynch article:
GameSpot controversy.
See also: GameSpot § Gerstmann dismissal.
After GameSpot editor Jeff Gerstmann gave the game a 6/10 review, pressure from Eidos Interactive, a major advertiser for the site, caused GameSpot's upper management to fire him.[35][36] Initially, GameSpot responded to the resulting controversy by denying that Eidos influenced the firing.[35][37] However, as of March 2012, the non-disclosure agreement that forced Gerstmann to withhold the details of his termination was nullified. Not long after, Giant Bomb (a site Gerstmann founded after leaving GameSpot) was being purchased by the same parent company as GameSpot, and that they moved their headquarters into the same building. As part of this announcement, Gerstmann revealed that the firing was indeed related to threats of Eidos pulling advertising revenue away from GameSpot as a result of Gerstmann's poor review score, which was confirmed by GameSpot's Jon Davison.[38][35]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gzjgppq2wcbovsfm4arcblpv/bafkreif22xoukhno3po5bm326y5txxzn7enbtlxiohwozyhigrbhcpxxpe@jpeg)
