Good for China on that!

To add some perspective, China is about 2 and a quarter times as large as the EU nations, and according to currentresults.com seems to get a bit more sunshine than the EU does. So the difference isn’t quite as stark as this post makes it seem.

There’s so much hand waving and speculation here. For example, the amount of water that Microsoft uses to cool its data centers is a global number right? Not California specific. And for that matter, if those data centers are in the Bay area that’s not going to matter for firefighting in Los Angeles, I wouldn’t think. AI makes for kind of a convenient scapegoat right now.

Also, I thought we were blaming the fires on climate change and DEI?

I pride myself on not going in for conspiracy theories and always doing due diligence on the facts. But the idea that my phone is listening to me at times when it shouldn’t be is one I am not going to give up easily.

How did it “verify” your age? Did it quiz you on early-2000s trivia or something?

What happened to indigenous people and women? I swear I saw one just an hour ago so it seems like they still exist. Maybe not?
