So Google AI will now be running partly on xAI data centers which run primarily on natural gas burned on site next to poor neighborhoods in Tennessee and Mississippi causing massive air pollution to these families and children. Is anyone else disgusted by this? I’m imagining all the people there developing lung and other issues because of this. Greed and power on full display over doing the right thing.

I’ll be switching off the Gemini model at work (Composer’s been off since their xAI deal). This is the final straw for me to move completely off Google services.
