Elon Musk, a hollow husk
Sits on his mountain on Mars
Surveying his miles and miles of loneliness
Stonkified under the stars
from Granny Desolation’s Pretty Songs Of This Living Hell
The newest data center builds are just burning natural gas with abandon with dire consequences to the air quality in the neighborhoods that they’re in, but also to the climate at large. All so they can spit out whatever AI generated image somebody wanted to conjure up or, in the case of the Pentagon, spit out some bombing targets in Iran that included a girls' elementary school.
Henry Burke of the Revolving Door Project joins us to discuss his recent writing, "How OpenAI Hacked The Military-Industrial Complex" at The Lever and, "Centrists: Better Things Aren’t Possible" at The American Prospect. "The Moment of Truth" with Jeff Dorchen follows the interview.
