Manifesto argues technology enslaves and crushes freedom. David Kaczynski recognises his brother’s writing style. Ted’s childhood genius, social isolation, and a Harvard study. Leaves academia; Montana cabin life fuels anti-technology radicalisation. Bombings kill three, injure twenty-three; targets linked to technology. Long, expensive manhunt; few clues for years.

    #585 | Is AI Really Destroying the Planet?
     Is AI really a disaster for the environment, or are the fears exaggerated?  In this episode, we'll discuss the environmental cost of Artificial Intelligence.   From a water controversy in Scotland to the heat of Arizona, we look at how much energy AI really needs, and whether we should be worried.  BBC report on AI water use in Scotland. Scotland's data centres use 0.005% of water supply. What data centres are; cooling also uses energy. AI requests create answers, needing powerful chips and energy. Each query uses tiny energy, CO2, and water. Headlines exaggerate AI's impact; context shows minimal effect. Data centres use 1.5% of global electricity. One burger's water equals millions of AI queries. Energy source matters; location and water scarcity change impact. AI use growing fast, but efficiency improving a lot.
