    But they aren’t choosing renewables, they’re choosing coal. People are responsible for the choices they make.

        How many of the AI companies that chose coal actually produce something worthwhile? Seems like the first the these nuScience fuckers should do with their digital overmind is create clean power.

            We don’t need AI to know how to use renewables. We’re just unwilling to implement then on a sociality scale.
