Good thing climate change isn't causing any trouble or this could be an issue. Words fail, again. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/08/climate/amazon-data-center-texas-pollution.html?unlocked_article_code=1.31A.BKnE.5DhN0aBPzpDP&smid=url-share

  • @robpike@cosocial.ca Those "Crypto" mining plants a few years ago that everyone hated, that cost the owners millions of dollars to build/operate, sucked Gigawatts of power from an already strained grid, and wasted millions of gallons of fresh water to cool… …now call themselves "AI #DataCenters" that do #AI by day and mine #Crypto by night. And states BEG them to come, luring them with massive tax cuts. 🤦‍♂️ 🤬

    @robpike@cosocial.ca I wonder when amazon.com will start censoring climate change on its websites.
