Batteries must get smaller first. Two days of smart phone usage is a battery bank ma fren. Alternative is to use a lower tech option but hard to find a middle ground.

Consider placing an A4 sized page of general info in the lunchroom. No one will pick it up but many will read it. Replace it occasionally with a new design that isn’t AI generated.

To start a discussion, perhaps try from a personnal perspective which can be an honest story of transition from ignorance to understanding. The awareness of these issues is coming to the collective concious light, albeit gradually, and we are all learning the impacts as they’re occurring.

“AI is an awesome tool but I had no idea it caused so much pollution. I watched a story about X’s platform and their Grok AI centre in Memphis. Its causing so much harm to the people and the local environment, I had no idea! I was shocked and sadened to see these peoole suffering. We might need to start thinking about responsible use of AI to limit the human and environmental impact, especially if that’s what our planet needs right now.”

It’s a little jarring trying to read text on lemmy with embedded tags in the Friendica style. It feels like an advertisement.

You might propose a transition plan in which the company continues posting using current channels while the details on exactly how these alternatives are integrated into the larger marketing strategy and day to day activities is worked out.

Yeah, I bet they wished they had shade

Honestly, im suprised everytime I blindly follow an online tutorial, copying and pasting like a madman, and my hard drive isn’t wiped.

ICE is a perfect name for these cold individuals

This is nightmare fuel

Is he pooping?

Looks at grass “It is what it is” Sleeps outside

AI uses so much more resources than standard search engines and it comes at a time when the whole planet needs to slow down climate change

Hot take: ugly and beautiful are meaningless subjective concepts

Who said there is no death in heavan? Without death, there cannot be birth and nothing would ever happen.

Sadly this was my thought too. When DOGE plugs everything back in, its likely to be paired with AI and big government contracts.

Here’s my idea: manage the cables.

You don’t need ideas, you just need to start.

OP, you’re clearly on a path to enlightenment, which as a process is expected to undermine previous ‘knowledge’. However, you’re here attempting to guide and teach others using the logic of limited concious awareness that is bound by scientific observation and preferences for opposing dualities. In other words, minds lost in delusion. Even the use of words, which are only a representation of reality, are not sufficient for the task.

Regarding cause and effect, I’ll say this: It’s common to think the past effects the future due to the illusion of time. When a boat passes by and we see the wake, we say boat is cause and wake is effect. But the boat does not make the water move. With modern science we understand that the boat and the water are atomic matter, it is the atom that moves, and we do not know what moves the atom and creates form. Further, a conclusion reached based on a convenient seperation of concpets, i.e. considering only the boat and wake separate from the entire cosmos, is laughable.

True cause, or the one great matter, is a mystery and cannot be known. The true effect is the eternal and unwavering present moment.
