Everyone hyped on AI data centers is forgetting there's no air in space with which to conduct the heat away. A comparatively "tepid" human body could take over 24 hours to freeze solid in space because the only option is for the heat to radiate.
Than there's the part where disposable rockets and satellites like starlink are literally destroying the ozone CFC style.
They’re just going to have kilometers wide radiator panels 🧐🤪
That shit was actually funny to see in one of the AI slop white papers.
There are probably solutions, but pumping fluid kilometers there and back is a freaking sell

Not saying this would work but your comment made me think of it and by itself space elevators are a cool idea.
nobody actually cares .. nobody wants the damn things.. they can fuck off to space where they can blow up.
That's also a problem, if you like having an ozone
Donald Kessler would like to have a word about that.
You do know launching a rocket is kinda polluting the world right? We kinda ok with it because it's not a common thing to launch a rocket into space.
nobody wants the damn things he says as he types on a website hosted in a data centre, protected by cloudflare one of the biggest data centre users in the world
you don’t like data centres but people sure love youtube and facebook which comes out of them
The bottom panel is vastly different from the top
He's saying cars should have seat belts and the other guy wants to improve society
She could improve her situation (and society) by simply not buying headphones made by slaves, there are plenty of options out there, she has made a conscious choice to buy slave headphones and now has the audacity to complain?
Both the car driver and peasant had no choice about their situations
woosh
She isn't wearing headphones. She lives in a world where enough people don't care about the things she cares about to keep the system going
it’s really irrelevant, the situations are completely different

one is a safety feature, the other is a worker demanding rights, she is complaining about a product she doesn’t have to buy
they could make the cartoon relèvent by having a worker in the apple slave factory complaining but then that would ruin the strawman
