A massive Wyoming data center will soon use 5x more power than the state's human occupants - but no one knows who is using it

  • My bet is Palantir, not OpenAI...

    • Theft or civil disobedience? 16 volumes go missing after Shelbyville church urges members to check out, never return library books about LGBTQ+ people

  • Nah, don't give em an inch. Theft of property is, by it's very nature, a criminal act. Absolutely does not qualify as civil disobedience in any way. Worse it perverts the meaning of that term.

    • If AI takes most of our jobs, money as we know it will be over. What then?

  • Disturbing is definitely the right word. If wealth and material assets weren't concentrated so badly, it seems there ought to be plenty of resources to go around. If only those resources would actually be distributed as they should...

  • The paranoid conspiracy theorist in me has been wondering if their plan involves intentionally devaluing traditional currency, the dollar, etc, to speed the adoption of crypto... somehow? But, there's plenty of gaping holes in that theory, I'll admit.

    Local support networks are so important right now, either way. So that's where I'm trying to focus my attention.

    • How do I fact-check the news (step by step)?

  • First, I pay attention to if an article references an original source. If not, see if they're the only one reporting the events in question.

    I also tend to look at community reactions a lot, see what other random people have to say. That's a horrible way to verify truth, but on the other end, it's the effect of the actions or events that will really matter.

    And, yeah, I doubt Fox "News" has referenced an original source in decades, so I'm very skeptical of anything they report. And if they're the only ones talking about something, I generally assume it's completely false.
