I *hate* this "digital divide" framing for AI; even libraries marshal it to justify their "AI literacy classes," ensuring all have "access" for self-actualization and economic opportunity. Maybe instead some folks are sufficiently literate, and they're instead choosing *principled refusal*.

A land value tax makes sense in theory. Could it work in practice – and will Andy Burnham implement the property tax?

TY @theguardian.com for naming the cause of this trend!! www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Why are heatwaves getting hotter?
More than a century’s worth of fossil fuel pollution has clogged the atmosphere, trapping sunlight and heating the whole planet. Average global temperatures have risen by about 1.3C since preindustrial times – and land temperatures by even more – which has pushed the baseline higher and made punishing extremes far more common.

It's really difficult to properly express how nuts this is. Meta's 2.2 gigawatt data centre fossil fuel plant was already world-leading bad. Now they're adding 5.2 EXTRA gigawatts on top. So SEVEN NEW FOSSIL FUEL PLANTS for one data centre. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Last year, Entergy received approval to build three natural gas plants that will generate about 2.3 gigawatts of electricity for Meta’s data center in Louisiana. The utility also applied to connect even more gas generation to the power grid in Louisiana to meet increasing demand.
Hyperion will have about 5 gigawatts of computing power, with the remaining gigawatts used to power the broader campus, according to a Meta spokesperson. The seven new gas plants will need to be approved by state regulators.
The agreement between the companies includes a Meta commitment to help fund up to 2.5 gigawatts of new renewable resources as well as a memorandum of understanding to explore future development and use of nuclear power.
