The Ecological Cost of AI Is Much Higher Than You Think - Truthdig As the demands of AI grow, each generation of microchips requires more energy, minerals and water to produce, driving a ruinous cycle.

"In an internal memo from September, CEO Sam Altman said that OpenAI’s β€œaudacious long-term goal is to build 250 gigawatts of capacity by 2033.” If Altman achieves this goal, OpenAI will need almost exactly as much electricity as India’s 1.5 billion people"

Trump: I want the money to go into an account for people where the people buy their own insurance. They will feel like entrepreneurs. Call it Trumpcare… anything but Obamacare. Obamacare is a disaster just like he was.

This false story, shared by Trump on Truth Social, originated on a satire Facebook page "America's Last Line of Defense", who states "Nothing on this page is real".

Obama lives rent free in Trump’s head and will be the scapegoat to justify taking away healthcare for millions of Americans.

Yesterday at National War College

"We are not preparing for a period of peace; instead we are shifting the Pentagon and the military-industrial base into an actual state of war"

"The moment feels like 1939β€”or, I hope 1981. Enemies are gathering, threats are mounting. You feel it. And I feel it."
