And now you are crying for help? Don't worry, your phone is out of charge anyway. That plug you are seeking got shut off. A week of sending emails, calling family, talking to friends — that can’t possibly be more important than AI making one more shrimp Jesus.
Keep that phone off and #SaveTheAI

All these sacrifices made you tired and now you want a caffeine boost, right? But you really shouldn't. Actually you can't, the machine is off. That energy supply got booked by #AI for today. Come back tomorrow, maybe you can get a fill.

What, you're thirsty? So? That doesn't necessarily imply that you ought to drink so much water. Haven't you considered the consequences? No not on humans, on LLMs, which need that water urgently to keep the deepfake industry going. Sorry, growing.
Stay thirsty and #SaveTheAI industry.

First, in Canada at least the weather has gotten nice at last and the forest fire smokes haven't reached Toronto yet so it's a great time to... GO BACK INSIDE. Keep that air fresh to #SaveTheAI, eh? #AI #pollution
ICYMI: we've got a lot of graphics for you! Posters, stickers and postcards on the resource demands of #AI for water, electricity, air, coal, and jobs, in nine languages. Because there's always the next thing you could be already sacrificing to further AI at all costs.
A #SaveTheAI thread with a few highlights, please share widely.

If you’re having any concerns about the excessive energy uses of #AI, don’t worry - companies are working tirelessly to bring those numbers down and are not shying away from doing whatever it takes to make them look good. Heroic, really.
