Maybe this is the (unfortunate) push that drives renewables.

Lol no these companies are now building their own fossil fuel plants. Mortgage the future is always the plan. I've been in the power industry for 15 years and only since AI have I been asked to work on fossil fuel construction projects rather than decommission projects

Oklahoma Yeah, authoritarian red state shithole. I don't even travel to/through such places when I can avoid it.

New dimension to "flyover states" unlocked

He exceeded his quota of free tokens

Ahh so that's what they mean by "free speech". It's like a drink token at a wedding.

So you get one free speech, but if you want more speech you've gotta buy it, and probably have to pay a gratuity on top.

At a premium rate, I'm sure...getting a speech at a wedding is gonna be a bit more expensive than getting a speech at the dive bar. And it's not like you can just go and give a speech at another wedding. Then you'd just be crazy. Bursting into some random wedding and giving a speech. Without even a token.

The only way to buy it is by appeasing the Epstein class

It’s easier to target the jury that way

Gonna become fly-around states. Don't even want to breathe their high-altitude air. Just smells like manure and mercury.

Police officers always seem to align with the interests of the capitalist (Epstein) class. What is it about that job that attracts so many people with contempt for the working class?

They’re uneducated but handed a living wage job and they are usually white men with narcissistic and psychopathic traits. The culture of entitlement and superiority within these ranks rewards the most narcissistic and psychopathic among them in the power dynamic within the fostered culture. This system then reinforces the racialized hierarchy within the self serving capitalist power structure and solidifies the tiers of oppression.

I meant tokens as the units of text you pay for when you purchase a subscription to ChatGPT or one of the other AI models.
Most AI companies offer you limited access for free to their most powerful models but you have to pay if you "speak too long" with the AI and exceed your quota of tokens.

All those new data centers (like the one the arrested man was opposing) are meant to power these AI. companies. Not a great joke, but that's what I was alluding to.

Used his free speech a little bit too long

If we can't exercise our first amendment, maybe it's time to exercise our 2nd?
