I fucking hate this guy. Fucking lying scumbag traitor.

Campaigned with left-wing ideas and messages. Rules entirely on the right. People saying he’s worst that the worst we’ve had so far, Stephen Harper. that’s saying something.

“Elbows up” he said. Now he’s selling Canada wholesale to the U.S.'s corporate interests close to Trump. Fucking bastard.

Are you brainwashed, or simply brain dead?

The amount of resources is huge. We’re not just talking about electricity. We’re talking agricultural farm land that’s being bought up in huge swaths to build these data centers. We’re talking building materials. We’re talking all the raw materials needed to build the computer parts themselves. They’re phenominally huge.

And the fascist slop they’re talking about is how the largest service providers of AI are manipulating their models to give false information, and even twist it to reflect a certain pro-capitalism and pro-fascist narrative. We’re not talking about some dude creating a model for whatever malicious intent for personal use. We’re talking models being used by the greater public, consuming the information they are given as fact, when in fact that information is manipulated to skew public opinion.

Also, for the record, when people are talking about “AI”, they’re talking about ChatGPT, Copilot, Grok, Gemini, Claude, etc. The major service providers.

Otherwise AI is a godsend for many fields, including science and medicine and other kinds of important research. It should never have been created by stealing copyrighted material, by going through Reddit and Twitter archives full of memes, bullshit, sarcasm and lies and then made accessible to the greater public.

But now these companies are trying to commodify intelligence and they’re using their billions to influence governments to force this shit on everyone.

I never needed AI in my life. And the little I have used it, gave me godawful results. And in the meantime, the data centers running all this are wreaking ecological havoc.

he paid revenue for these companies wouldn’t still be increasing so rapidly

Is that why they’re all sucking up to Trump and asking for so much subsidies to survive?

Example 1

Example 2

Americans are effectively subsidizing these companies via their tax dollars by the billions.

These companies are also losing billions. So I don’t where where you got that idea.

but AI datacenters do not actually use that much energy compared to other industries,

To counter that statement:

The state that made itself America’s data center capital just realized the data centers want more electricity than five entire Texases could ever produce. Less than a year ago, Governor Greg Abbott declared Texas the epicenter of AI development. On August 3, 2026, he froze all new data center power connections to the Texas grid and called for a full audit of every project in the queue. The reason was a number so large it barely feels real. ERCOT is currently tracking more than 1,800 projects in the queue, representing over 474 gigawatts of electricity, or more than five times the grid’s record for peak demand. Approximately 90 percent of the new power requests are data centers. To put that in perspective, Texas set its all-time electricity demand record in August 2023 at approximately 85.5 gigawatts, during one of the most brutal heat waves in state history.

What broke is they allowed housing to be a commodity allowing speculators to bid on.

They hate French people in France too, so…

I barely ever see any such things on my feed. The most problematic users I’ve come across were from lemmy.world.

For capitalists, a tree ain’t worth a damn if it’s not cut down.

I’m tired or annoyed of LinkedIn so I’m going to join the fediverse version of LinkedIn… yeah…

Nothing is in the cloud, but what if someone else creates an instance hosted in a cloud service? And what difference does that even make? It’s not like data scrapers can’t go and see everything available to the public.

Interac would be enough if financial institutions didn’t charge so much for transactions. Meanwhile, credit card companies are giving you money every time you make a transaction with their cards.

That too

If that’s what it’s for, then that could be acceptable.

Oh wait. This what I’m talking about.

That’s what I hate about billionaires.

They all spend their money on luxury shit like this for themselves or other people like themselves.

None of them ever thinks of helping poor people get housing, food and healthcare.

• 2 cups 35% cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 bean of madagascar vanilla
• 5 eggs
• 3/4 cups sugar

In a small saucepan, mix the milk & cream. Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Scrape the interior to collect all the seeds and dump them in the cream mixture along with the vanilla bean husk. Heat it up on medium heat. (Don’t boil it!) Once it’s hot, turn off the heat and let the vanilla steep.

In the meantime, seperate the egg yolks from the egg whites. In a large saucepan, mix the egg yolks with the sugar and manually whip them together until the mixture turns a very pale yellow.

Once the cream mixture cooled a bit, using a ladle, very slowly pour the cream mixture over the yolk mixture while continually stirring with a wooden apoon and make sure you let it cool before adding more or your yolks are going to turn into an omelet and create lumps. Keep stirring!

Once it’s all mixed, set it on the stove over a low heat (if your stove goes up to 10, set it to 2 or 2 and a half) and KEEP STIRRING ! Don’t ever stop stirring. Eventually it will thicken up. It should get thick enough that if you draw a line on the back of the wooden spoon with your finger, the cream shouldn’t drip over the line.

Once it’s thickened enough, pour into a bowl and set that bowl in a tub of cold water. (I usually fill the sink half way with cold water and set it in there. ) Keep stirring. You want to cool it to stop the cooking process.

Finally, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or whatever and leave it in the fridge overnight.

The next day, pour it in the ice cream machine and let it do its thing.

For a little extra, add 1-1.5 ouncse of bourbon while it’s doing its thing.

That’s ok!

I recommend taking classes. It’s tons of fun. Once you unlock kanjis, everything makes a lot more sense.

Nah man. That’s some internet meme bastardization. Not everything ends with “u” like “impossibru”.

It would actually be グードショット or “guudo shotto”.

Exactly. I make my own ice cream at home. Vanilla is my go to. It’s amazing.

Yeah. Growth in profits for businesses. Not for our paychecks, cost of living or quality of life.

I couldn’t give a fuck about “the economy”. As long as it is only measured by how well businesses are making profits.
