   Did anyone hear about bigtech investing in #nuclear energy to supposedly power 'ai'? here's a supposed article that sounds like it's copy-pasted straight from the nuclear lobby's press release (you can tell because they write "clean energy" as opposed to "toxic waste generating energy that poisons children and placed in bombs to damag the #genetics of people in parts of the world bankers want to harvest").

   Amazon bought a nuclear-powered #datacenter in march and now they are investing $500 million in "small modular reactors". The nuclear lobby must be thrilled that everyone seems to be too distracted with the election to even talk about this. This news from amazon came a day after google announced it has big plans to go nuclear over the next decade or so.

   in case anyone needed another reason to boycott m$, amaz, and goog....

     @stefano @jeffcliff @p @mystie maybe replace "<del>important</del>" with "revealing"

     @stefano @jeffcliff @p @mystie when people say we need to decommission datacenters and replace then with ipfs or some better protocol (possibly something that is exclusively tor/i2p based and that maybe isn't developed on m$github), this is the sort of scenario we are want to avoid.

     >Virginia plays a major role in this energy shift, with nearly half of all U.S. data centers located there—especially in an area known as Data Center Alley. Around 70% of the world’s internet traffic flows through this region each day. Dominion Energy supplies power to 452 data centers in Virginia, most of them located in Data Center Alley, and expects demand to increase by 85% over the next 15 years. AWS’s new SMRs are expected to provide at least 300 megawatts of power to the region.

     this is probably the most important paragraph in the suspected #nuclearlobby's public relations piece. #toobigtoexist #bds #unelectedmafia #moneyprintergobrr #fraud #massdecryptionchokepoint #antidemocratic #masssurveillance @p @mystie @jeffcliff @stefano

     At least seven hops between me and any Tor node or instance I'm on go through CIA black sites. Send help.

     @frogzone @stefano @jeffcliff I don't see a problem with this, but exactly the same things I said last time still apply: if you think this is wasteful, it will be *more* inefficient to push all of this all the way to the edge. You also still don't seem to distinguish between "all datacenters" and "Amazon hollowing out a mountain". I don't care if Amazon hollows out a mountain to begin with, but I think "I take my computer to a building" is a completely different thing from a closed datacenter.
     
     You do a traceroute between two hosts, and it's 12 hops or whatever and except the first and last two hops, they live in datacenters, because this reduces power and administration costs for the network. You do not have a mesh routing system for the current internet.
