If you feel you got cheated, or did get cheated. It's of no concern to me. I am not interested in making friends. I am interested in making money.

Lack of concern for other humans beings, is a major problem in the world. If you ask "me". But I could be wrong, I have certainly been wrong before. Musk himself has this attitude, in another thread he poisoning Memphis TN.

Of course all these AI tech giants are sucking up massive amount of power. Which is being created in all kinds of dirty ways. In the middle of a supposed Co2 crisis. They are even burning trees to supply this power.

Oh no, not another rabbit hole. Sorry but it's just too suspect not to share.
The air quality in Memphis looks good (?) so what's going on here with this poisoning claim and bad gas? smells people are complaining about? How can this be true when people there are saying they can't breathe and smell gas in the air?

xAI is not even on the EPA's toxicity list (Musk bought Trump for DOGE to protect Musk's money interests(?))

"“EPA cannot meet its legal obligation to use the best available science without (the Office of Research and Development) and that’s the point,’' she added. President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser, Musk, “are putting their polluter buddies’ bottom lines over the health and safety of Americans,” Lofgren said."

Look at this. Talk about mind control and intrusion all day long. The meme even states give your soul to Palantir's AI, so it's obvious to others out there on the web what's going on. It boggles the mind, but I guess some people may prefer it to being isolated in life.

Quote:Burning Trees for Power- Validity: This claim appears exaggerated or misleading based on available evidence. There’s no direct evidence from credible sources that AI tech giants are burning trees specifically to power data centers. However, the idea may stem from broader discussions about biomass energy, where wood or other organic material is burned to generate electricity. Biomass is sometimes considered a renewable energy source, but it can release significant CO2, especially if not managed sustainably (e.g., clear-cutting forests without replanting).
- Related Context: A post on X mentioned Bill Gates’ investment in Kadama Systems, which involves cutting trees, burying them, and selling carbon offsets, not burning them for power. This is unrelated to AI data centers and more about carbon sequestration schemes, which have their own environmental controversies.
- Critical Note: If "burning trees" refers to biomass energy use by data centers, it’s not a primary method for tech giants. Most rely on grid electricity (fossil fuels or renewables) or are investing in nuclear/hydrogen solutions. Any biomass use would likely be a small, indirect part of the grid mix in specific regions, not a deliberate strategy by AI companies.

Well, if they are burning trees common in a boreal forest then they may be emitting Nitrous Oxide into the air, because a new study says trees release this and other toxic gases.
"Scientists Surprised: Trees Are Sources of the Greenhouse Gas Nitrous Oxide"
"The research group observed that the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide is released into the atmosphere not only by the forest soil, but also by pine, birch, and spruce, the trees of the northern boreal zone. The group has previously demonstrated (Machacova et al., 2016; Scientific Reports) that the stems and canopies of pine trees in the northern boreal zone are sources of N2O. This recent study indicated that also birches and spruces release the gas into the atmosphere."

Along with the great idea of using massive amounts of power to run a BS machine.

Isn't necessity the mother of invention, or is it more about adapting to what we have? If so
I’m all for nuclear energy.
If it hadn't been over-regulated back in the ‘80s, we’d probably have much cleaner, glowing green energy by now.
With crypto and AI on the rise, we’re going to need to come up with new power sources. But since both of those are still pretty new and a lot of money has already been thrown into them, they might not pan out in the long run, even though that’s still years away.
In the meantime, both will need power, and it's likely that the average person is going to bear the cost. For now, though, they'll figure out how to get powered up, even if it means the regular folks have to deal with the fallout.
For the summer time, our energy costs are reasonable

See how they brand it? "bring the world closer together", what does that mean anyway? Yes, times have changed. As a WWII Victory baby my younger years were indoctrinated with American pride.
How much loyalty to country do you think any of these "power players" have? Any player, any country. Gives new meaning to "bringing the world closer together".
They are not bound by borders.
