  • None of that has anything to do with AI consuming upwards of 30% of all power in some US States. None of that has anything to do with AI in 2025 being run on 35% renewable electricity and 50% or more fossil fuels which could have been used by citizens and consumers at lower prices instead.

    Even if Elon Musk weren’t running illegal Natural Gas generators in Texas to power Grok, even if AI suddenly became 100% solar powered today in some fantasy fiction, it is still producing nothing of value but creating serious risks and we should still shut it down.

    Let me try to creat a visual for you:

    [///////]
    Human-Use Power

    [//////////] = [///////] + [///]
    All power generated = Human-Use + AI

    And in 4 years:

    [/////////////] = [///////] + [//////]

    You see that? You see how its using more? We’re already facing cataclysmic changes in weather patterns risking countless habitats including human ones, and we’re going to practically double power consumption so Trump can make a short video of his jet shitting on protestors.

    Would it even matter? The network gets routed between multiple nodes and the site traffic itself is encrypted, so unless a sufficient number of nodes total were comrpomised then tracking who is visiting where would be an effort in futility, no?

    The only notable case of a TOR user being tracked down that I can think of was a Silk Road user using his personal email address in malicious activity.

    Plus, you can use both VPN and TOR.

    Obviously this is regionally dependent, but housing supply is set to overtake the growing demand in the next few years.

    Heres a random source I googled which cites Mortgage Banker’s Association crying over loss of potential future profits if they accidentally build enough units for housing to become cheap again: SOURCE

    At the risk of jinxing it:

    Linux, Tor, and Godot

    Possibly housing markets.

    Though improvements to TOR are mostly for Android which is about to heavily enshitify since last year’s changes to AOSP and unofficial app policies. Still, I think the number of TOR volunteers enabling the network have grown? Definitely feels faster than before.
