Okay folks I've responded to the data center heat island paper. It is the worst study on AI and the environment I've ever read, by far. Thank you to @beijingpalmer.bsky.social for flagging. blog.andymasley.com/p/data-cente...
They've gotten used to pretending all sorts of terrifying shit going on around them isn't real. This is just one more thing to ignore.
Marginal Revolution used to be a pretty great blog.
Frankly, if Cowen weren't so arrogant and self-absorbed it could easily have remained a great blog up till now. The (comparatively) higher standards and better math are real--and now being widely absorbed. "Higher IQs" is fucking self-delusion.
A terrible paper and even worse interpretation is threatening to become common wisdom
And let me emphasize: the higher standards and better math are only true on the margin. Social science in general is a shitshow at both of these things and economics is merely the first social science to get *passably* good at them.
Yeah great New Scientist tweeted this completely fake story and it's been shared 500 times

This shit might honestly be crazier than Moon Landing Denial.
A data center would literally vaporize before it could increase the temperature by that much in that huge of a radius.
This will probably have little impact on Eastman. but if you went after the law licenses of the 32-year old functionaries who are blatantly violating every provision in the constitution, that would be a fate worse than death to them
January 6th sort of tells the tale here. Elected republicans first priority is the continued existence of the Republican Party. Convicting Trump in a Senate trial would have fractured the party. Edpol and youth voting splits mean that all of your you R staffer pool are nazi
