Training an #AI model from scratch uses about as much #water as raising one #beef #cow

> It’s easy to jump from “people need water or they die” to “here comes this evil corporation using water for greed!” But in fact, tons of water is being used for more frivolous (and less economically valuable) reasons than AI.

Beef prices are the new egg prices. They’re soaring

Beef prices are hitting records, rising almost 9% since January, according to the Department of Agriculture, and retailing for $9.26 a pound. June’s consumer price index showed steak and ground beef prices are up 12.4% and 10.3%, respectively, over the last year.

Record-high beef prices have been a decade in the making due to shrinking herds, drought conditions and the rise of imported beef — all while demand stayed strong.

Thor versucht wirklich alles der neue #Drachenlord zu werden: youtu.be/yUY1dxp_o0Y 😂 Aber ganz Unrecht hat er ja nicht, ich habe ja schon mal die Theorie geäußert das Ross und Thor das abgesprochen haben könnten. Dagegen spricht das Thor viel zu ego ist für so eine Aktion.

Ways to address the food crisis -
1. Minimize red meat #consumption, especially, #beef
2. Allow #fertility rates to fall and focus on #redistribution of existing #food to feed the #poor
3. Since working in #farms will soon be impossible thanks to #heatwaves #droughts #floods #pests ; build enclosed #vertical farms and #precision #fermentation

All three ideas are incorporated in #solarpunk #hopepunk #novel "A New Faith"
