Today is the official OvaHerero and Nama Remembrance of Genocide Day.

To reflect, I am sharing this opinion article that I wrote for the BBC News in 2021.

To learn more about the genocide, read the opinion www.bbc.com/news/world-a...

AI pollution could cost billions Recent research projects AI data centers’ public-health harms.

But...AGI is gonna bring utopia & AI will stop climate change!

"By looking at where power is being generated & the size of nearby populations, the researchers estimated the number of adverse health events that would likely be caused by AI-related air pollution."

Went to get a new laptop today and they are all Gen AI powered.

I still had a choice to connect to the internet or remain offline, ironically the moment I connect to the internet then an AI app thats already installed pops up.

What about those who might not want to subscribe to Gen AI apps?
