AI's energy draw adds to global climate issues

There isn’t actually a light and dark side, there’s a near and far side. The moon keeps a constant face to the earth, not sun.

Anything there would mean a whole two seconds of lag, but I’m sure the tech companies will figure out how to make faster-than-light communication just a few years away.

if you’d said fossil fuels you’d have been right. coal is not the only problem. texas passed a bill for 5 billion dollars to fund new natural gas plants. mostly for crypto and ai. abbott wants to double that

and developers are hoping for something like another 30 billion more
