    Processing facilities for creating wafers for microprocessors would just need more electricity and some water at industrial levels, perhaps equivalent to what Taiwan uses for its semiconductor industry (yet they have some water supply problems than we do), but a AI data center will consume enormous amounts of electricity and water, which makes these unfeasible in this country.

    That in any case, AI is being misused for capricious and unethical purposes, and its source data acquired without consent.


    AI Mania Is Eviscerating Global Decisionmaking

    That and utterly destroying original thinking.



    Shitget watched too much of 300.

    Such a rear-echelon motherfucker.



    And some people in my (developing) country think healthcare is better over there.


    Why I don’t celebrity worship, because not only meeting one’s idols is a bad idea, but also the possibility of them betraying.


    My wife is Chinese, she watches AI Chinese dramas and she has told me that most of China watch AI dramas. And Gen Z watch AI, Everyone younger than 30 relies on AI.

    If it’s not that, I’m seeing people almost everywhere hunched on their phones, watching AI-generated summaries of… what? soap opera episodes and whole movies. And those people complaining about the low quality of education when they’re so fucking focused much on getting a piece of paper just to be hired even for a department store attendant.



    It is no more different with the gold rushes to California, Oregon, and Alaska, where the real winners are the merchants selling pickaxes and work overalls.


    Vigilantism is the consequence of a failed system of law enforcement and justice, where it’s mostly the privileged and powerful who get the most out of those. It is also why it has resulted in the Tulfos literally being worshipped as arbiters of justice, and why Dutertes still have a cult around them.


    And some people in my country – constantly plagued by institutionalized corruption but so soaked in escapist entertainment – think American/Japanese/South Korean politicians are incorruptible, no thanks to the movies and Youtube videos they consume.


    Quoting the corporation in question:

    The Universal Charges are mandated by the government (Congress and ERC) to cover the following:

    Missionary Electrification: funds electricity service in remote or off-grid communities that are not connected to the national grid transmission system, and are difficult or costly to serve Environmental Charge: a fixed charge of P0.0025/kWh, used for watershed rehabilitation and management NPC stranded debts: covers the unpaid financial obligations of the National Power Corporation

    Meralco serves as a collector of these pass-through charges but does not earn from it. This is implemented not just by Meralco, but by all distribution utilities and electric cooperatives nationwide. This charge is remitted to the Power Sector Asset and Liabilities Management (PSALM) Corp.

    This is not a new charge. Meralco has been collecting this since 2003.

    The horrible truth is that this country has one of the costliest electricity bills in the world due to over-reliance on fossil power generation, and efforts are being done to reduce that cost, such as building more solar panel arrays and wind farms. That despite some opposition from certain sectors, there is heightened interest in nuclear energy as an option.



    At least it’s much better than spending hours watching brainrot.

    Yeah, sure… They have the largest coast guard vessel on the planet, and they’re not exactly keeping their distance, but instead actively pursue then if they feel like powertripping, ram anything that’s not flying the red flag.


    Yeah, but that’s not the end of the struggle. At least it gives attention to an issue threatening creatives, environmentalists, local residents, hobbyists, and the marginalized.


    Extraordinarily fucking great audio right there. Legendary.
