If you want to fight for something, please learn what you stand behind.

And how do you know I haven't? Do you have insight into my mind?

Here's my stance: Fuck Google. When have they ever done anything for the benefit of humanity? If this turns out to do exactly what it says on the tin, I'll be happy to eat my words, but pardon me if I don't believe that Google is suddenly interested in clean energy.

    And lets take a step back to see the forest for the trees and realize the destination for this energy is more AI slop with little to no use for anyone.

    It's like celebrating some company deciding to use EV bulldozers to demolish the Amazon rainforest.

    Exactly. It would have been better for them to put their money towards not generating CO2 in the first place. Batteries are nothing special, and they're signing off on this project so they can appear green, because it uses CO2.
