Elon Musk’s xAI supercomputer threatens climate harm in Memphis
Organizers say they have less of a chance at making environmental reforms in the majority Black city than Musk and xAI do at causing harm
“This is literally what corporate colonialism looks like.”
Appreciate this from @prismreports.org on Musk's xAI in Memphis and how his supercomputer aims to further dispossess the most vulnerable.
More reporting that incorporates voices of groups fighting this.

A.I. Hallucinations Are Getting Worse, Even as New Systems Become More Powerful
A new wave of “reasoning” systems from companies like OpenAI is producing incorrect information more often. Even the companies don’t know why.
The newest and most powerful A.I. technologies — so-called reasoning systems from companies like OpenAI, Google and the Chinese start-up DeepSeek — are generating more errors, not fewer. As their math skills have notably improved, their handle on facts has gotten shakier.

Too complex for users, too opaque for scrutiny: OpenAI's convenient Disappearing Act
Each week brings a new wave of generative AI announcements that deserve closer examination to decode their social and environmental impacts.
Too complex for users, too opaque for scrutiny: OpenAI's "unified intelligence" masks growing impacts behind magical marketing. Removing model selection increases opacity while claiming AI is too complex for users. As environmental costs rise, accountability vanishes.
