A left-wing podcast for a better world and better tech. Hosted by @parismarx.com. Made in partnership with @thenation.com.
@parismarx.comReposted by @techwontsave.usReally happy to have @laismartins.com back on the podcast to dig into the unique form data center expansion is taking in Brazil and to discuss what’s happening in the country’s election.

@techwontsave.usIf you like the conversation, make sure to preorder a copy of Paris’s new book HYPERSCALE about the data center buildout and backlash.
@techwontsave.usRemember, there's also a video version of the show published on YouTube and Spotify!
@techwontsave.usBrazil is attracting major data center projects powered by renewables — but that doesn’t mean they’re without impact.
This week @laismartins.com joins @parismarx.com to discuss how renewables are going to data centers instead of decarbonizing the grid.

@parismarx.comReposted by @techwontsave.usMy new book HYPERSCALE is out in two weeks — and my copies just arrived!
I recorded an unboxing video to share some thoughts as it gets closer to release and show you what it looks like. Hate data centers? You’re going to want a copy!

@warwickgow.bsky.socialReposted by @techwontsave.usI highly recommend listening to @ketanjoshi.co recent episode on @techwontsave.us with @parismarx.com , especially because they spent the latter half of the episode bringing the conversation of 'ai data centres' back to Aus and its capture by Fossil Fuel companies.

@aicaution.caReposted by @techwontsave.usThere was an amazing AI booster podcast where the host talked about how his AI-using kids were distraught when they found out about bad AI is for the environment. He seemed surprised and confused at their reaction.

@stevencurtis.bsky.socialReposted by @techwontsave.usAnd all because you won’t write your own sentences and paragraphs, as you had to do only five fucking years ago. We could end all this tomorrow if everyone just searched, read, thought and wrote by themselves
@kevinjkircher.comReposted by @techwontsave.usBluesky locals discuss some underappreciated aspects of the global fossil-fueled data center boom. Good conversation!
@tjheffernan.bsky.socialReposted by @techwontsave.usThe point of the unprofitable AI industry--the billionaires telling you their magic machines will solve the climate crisis--is to drive up energy demands to keep the oil industry alive. 'AI' is not the future but the last gasp of a model that has no future.
@parismarx.comReposted by @techwontsave.usReally happy to have @ketanjoshi.co back on the podcast to learn more about all the emissions being generated by the gas plants to power the tech industry’s data centers. There’s no chance of truly addressing climate change if the industry gets its way!
@arfisk.bsky.socialReposted by @techwontsave.usNot a bug, but an essential feature.
@parismarx.comReposted by @techwontsave.us“There are a lot of books being published about how Big Tech is ruining our environment and our minds … but Hyperscale is the one I’ve got my eye on this fall.”
@literaryhub.bsky.social recommends my book HYPERSCALE on its non-fiction list!

@heidiheidilim.bsky.socialReposted by @techwontsave.usI think a lot of folks even in the climate community have fallen for the greenwashing - folks like @ketanjoshi.co are giving us stark figures showing that anyone concerned about fossil fuels, especially us working against climate change, should take a closer look at the AI industry's plans.
@hughjassle.bsky.socialReposted by @techwontsave.usScreaming eternally Fuck these AI companies
@techwontsave.usIf you think this sounds outrageous, don’t forget to preorder your copy of @parismarx.com’s new book HYPERSCALE, about the data center buildout and the growing opposition tech companies are facing.
@techwontsave.usTech Won’t Save Us is also now on YouTube! You can watch the full video episode there.
