Remember swastikas? It’s like that. The abrahamic faiths have always been about violently forcing others to submit. Many modern believers are too stupid to realize this, they make excuses for the slavery and genocide throughout the bible and they pretend they themselves are not part of the problem. Others can be mask-off hateful and it’s rare for anybody to stop them.

Magical thinking is deadly. People aren’t using their brains and we’re all suffering for it.

Let’s quote the article, shall we?

The goal is to “minimize the visual impact on communities near our data centers.” Not to actually be sustainable, but to look less offensive to the casual observer.

“I cannot really see any level of biomimicry investment that makes a gas plant a desirable neighbor.” Me neither.

“Emissions have risen by Microsoft’s own accounting, too.” It is pollution.

“Microsoft had no clear answer when questioned if it would ever change its mind on a site.” They are raping the planet we live on. Please think.

Have a look. https://petapixel.com/2026/09/19/before-and-after-photos-show-data-centers-furiously-popping-up-across-america/

It specifically mentions gas power. The air will be polluted and living things breathing that air will suffer. “AI” data centers are waste generators and planet heaters. The goal is to further wreck the environment and kill most of us. The rich think they can survive it somehow. It is unacceptable.

“autonomously” doing what they are programmed and prompted to do, as always.

a tiny misstep

Multiple colossal missteps.

you shouldn’t have used the company card to pay 20＄ for your kid

Correct. He should have spent $0 on a company credit card for his kid. He could have spent $20 from his own personal card, which presumably would have more reasonable limits. He should have ensured the card required a pin to use so that unauthorized charges couldn’t accrue.

I feel bad for him, too, but he’s incredibly stupid and I don’t see why anyone else should have to cover his ass for his own fuckup.

Sure. But don’t forget to take steps to prevent Google from harvesting your non-school data anyway. If using an official Gmail app, you’re probably screwed; they get your location, wifi, device info, why not?

If using a web browser, be sure it’s a privacy-focused one, don’t sign into anything but Gmail, and sign out and close the browser completely every time to clear cached data. And Google will still scan every email with automated scrapers, potentially training their AI on your carefully written essays, etc.

Presumably, privacy. Google is actively weaponizing and selling all data we give them.

“Just give us your name, address, and more, and we’ll stop violating your privacy (on the surface). Training AI? Well, obviously. Selling to data brokers? I mean, why wouldn’t we? We’ll delete the document after we’ve stored all the details in our database, of course.”

“Google says the document is deleted after 60 days.”

Lol. They absolutely keep all of the data.
