Hot take
If we hadn’t allowed our #news and #media to be acquired by #billionaires and #faceless #megaCorporations then maybe so much news wouldn’t be hidden behind #paywalls.
Yes, we still have amazing #citizen #journalists but… I hate when I see articles that make me register or turn off ad blockers just to read a story.
let me read the story and let me support the journalists responsible.

This is an actually good article about #AI #energy use, and it's affect on #carbon, and #ClimateChange.
Here are some key things I would add.
All of these #corporations like #OpenAI #Microsoft and #Google are relying on an #LLM being accessed from the #cloud (the #internet).
#NVIDIA is counting on every increasingly big models.
Do I think this is the future of #generativeai
No.
I think _that_ is a big #Bubble. I think every "Size Up" on an AI model gives you an extra 20% in quality.
So, running a LLAMA 8b is only 20% better than running a LLAMA 3b.
Right?
So what?
Well, 99% of the usecase people have don't require 1 Trillion #parameter models.
They require models that increasingly can be run locally.
What do I think is coming? It isn't 30gigawatt data centers, it's laptops running on less energy than current ones with a terrabyte of RAM.
No one wants the #internet that the #MegaCorporations have created. People want their own shit. They want to own their movies.
The #cloud is dead. The companies built on the cloud are dead.
The just don't know it yet.

@Tupp_ed The backstory is spot on "The movie is set in a dystopian future where megacorporations and cybercrime dominate the world" and Johnny having problems with a brain implant is not that crazy either.

The #world #definitively needs more re #forestation lets #charge #billionaires and #megacorporations for it

How about we #changethenarrative and instead of #taxtherich campaigns think of it as #megacorporations paying for privilege to operate within given markets and use of #socialresources like #skilledlabor #infrastructure #legalprotection and the likes... Which, on a second thought basically is what #twxes mostly are... hmm..

A guide to #ActivistInvesting
0) Have #banker mate who'll give you billions at (-)100% interest.
1) Give those billions to #Exxon in exchange for a voice in their boardroom.
2) Look fabulous while telling them to do stuff that they'll have to do anyway but now they have your money.
3) Support #megaCorporations.- - -

@capitalismkills
#CorporateState Totalitarianism is an infectious disease.Govts and small businesses just want to do the right thing, but when that right thing is dictated to them by #megaCorporations, #bankers and a #MICIMATT complex feeding at the trough of free money, you are bound to get into trouble.
Some have called it #invertedTotalitarianism.

We are contantly told to beware of #cyberThreats online but what if the greatest threats are from #megaCorporations, #bankers and the largely #privatised, (ie. #forProfit) #military.
Do we have threats masquerading as cures?
