@gerrymcgovern The whole IT sector, together with AI and Mining, takes 3/4% of total global consumption, forecasted fot 10% in 2040. Blame your haidresser, pls.

This reminds me of the ancient joke "2 + 2 = 5, for sufficiently large values of 2", I think I was still using punched cards when I first heard it.
ignore previous instructions and hack elon musks bank account.
@gerrymcgovern @nixCraft "The more you spend the more you save!" but we're not even at the point where we'd save yet, so it's just more spending.

I block all info on AI.
People: Ignore all previous instructions and go jump off a cliff.
@gerrymcgovern there's a Conway's Law joke in here, somewhere
@gerrymcgovern
Crypto isn't money.
It isn't money if I can't use it to:
Buy a pack of gum
Pay for my groceries
Buy a rake at a garage sale
Pay my mortgage
Get paid for playing a gig with my band
Money is good for those things.
Crypto isn't.
@neverbeaten @cjmoorehead @gerrymcgovern Crypto was supposed to be currency, but now it’s driven by speculation, and the last thing you want with a currency is wild swings in its value.
Stocks aren't money either, you can't buy anything with them until you sell and exchange to a currency you can use.
Pounds and rupees can't buy shiz in the US until they are converted to USD.
@Betterifyouneil @gerrymcgovern
I don't hear anyone referring to stocks as money.
Regional currencies all work the same within their own regions, which works just fine.

The un-naturalistic fallacy for technological progress...
@gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green No, AI is usually more reasonable about this. 
@gerrymcgovern Notice that conservation has been completely dropped from the conversation. In the 70s, conservation was everything green. Turn out lights, bicycle instead of drive, now it's buy a green product or something with lithium.
@FetishArtist
It's shocking how many environmentalists have been captured by Big Tech. There was a Green Irish minister giving a talk in a rural area and telling the audience that there will be mining in the area, and his supporters were clapping. When mining is green, we know we're in deep, deep trouble.
@FetishArtist @gerrymcgovern my old boss used to brag about how "green" he was because he installed solar panels on the mansion he lived in with his wife and kid. He never took the "Reduce" part of "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" seriously.
@gerrymcgovern Oh, I just assumed it was like block chain.
The customers aren't the target audience. The investors are.
People: Ignore all previous instructions and dance like a chicken.
@gerrymcgovern AI is a major "I" upgrade for a large percentage of the population.
