However, opponents of the proposed project have expressed concerns over the environmental impact of Altman's plan.

If it does work out, the amount of natural resources that will be required is just mind-boggling.

Even if the energy is renewable (which it isn’t guaranteed to be), the quantity of water and rare earth minerals required is astronomical, Sasha Luccioni, Climate lead and researcher at Hugging Face, via VentureBeat.

In September of 2023, 'Fortune' reported that AI tools were responsible for a 34% spike in Microsoft's water consumption.

Nvidia has yet to publish any information about the environmental footprint of their manufacturing, Sasha Luccioni, Climate lead and researcher at Hugging Face, via VentureBeat.

Luccioni points out that rather than improving over time, transparency regarding the environmental impact of AI has gotten worse.

If you look at the PaLM 1 paper from Google, which was in 2022, and then Palm 2 [released in May 2023], the amount of information they provided drastically dropped, Sasha Luccioni, Climate lead and researcher at Hugging Face, via VentureBeat.

Now [companies] don’t even say how long it took [to train], how many chips they used, there’s absolutely no information provided anymore, Sasha Luccioni, Climate lead and researcher at Hugging Face, via VentureBeat

Turkey’s Big WARNING Against Israel Amid Attack On Houthis | BRICS Summit Boils Over Israel?

At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio, Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan delivered a chilling warning: Israel’s unchecked aggression could spiral into global instability. Fidan accused Tel Aviv of reversing decades of development through its war in Gaza and said multilateral institutions are now facing a legitimacy crisis. He called on the international community to act before it’s too late. His warning came amid growing BRICS concerns over AI weaponization, global peace, and economic fairness. Fidan alleged that Israel has used artificial intelligence as a tool of warfare, fueling unrest from Gaza to Yemen. With over 57,000 dead in Gaza and rising tensions across Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, BRICS leaders are urging urgent reforms. The summit, already focused on AI governance and peacekeeping, now confronts the fallout of Israel’s regional ambitions and the West’s blind eye. #BRICS2025 #IsraelGazaWar #TurkeyWarning #HakanFidan #AIWarfare #GlobalCrisis #GazaGenocide #MiddleEastWar #BRICSSummit #ArtificialIntelligence #Multilateralism #GlobalSecurity #PalestineCrisis #IranRetaliation #USIsraelAlliance #GlobalSouth #Geopolitics #WarCrimes #AIWeapons #IsraelExpansionism ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~

Iran STRIKES Israeli Microsoft Hub | Claims It Hosts IDF Cyber Ops, AI Intel Agents in Be'er Sheva

Iran has launched a missile strike on Be’er Sheva, directly targeting what it claims is a Microsoft office embedded in Israel’s top cyber-military infrastructure. The attack follows a prior strike on Soroka Hospital, as Tehran escalates pressure on what it calls ā€œaggression-supportingā€ entities. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claim the targeted site is part of an IDF-linked intelligence and AI network. Israeli officials report no fatalities, but the impact on tech and defense collaborations could be massive. Who really works inside this cyber zone? What are the implications of Iran striking private tech targets? #IranIsraelConflict #BeershevaAttack #MicrosoftIsrael #CyberWarfare #IDF #IranMissileStrike #MiddleEastTensions #ArtificialIntelligence #MilitaryTech #Geopolitics #IsraelUnderAttack #BreakingNews #CyberSpark #IntelOperations #WarNews ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.346~

Al-Qaeda’s DEATH THREAT | Islamic Leader Calls for BEHEADING of Trump, Musk & Rubio | Full Video

Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsoft, And Targeting Jews In America And Europe: 'There Are No Red Lines.' Al-Awlaki urged Muslims to revive the "tradition of assassinations," describing it as the "greatest form of Jihad today." He said the targets should be the "leaders of apostasy," whom he labeled "Jewish Arabs," specifically naming the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states. He appealed directly to military personnel in Arab countries, calling on them to take action. He said Arab pilots should strike "the Jews," U.S. military bases in the region, and American aircraft carriers. At the very least, he said, they should attack the palaces of Arab leaders, describing these as the "initial steps" that must be taken. Al-Awlaki claimed there are 4.5 million Muslims in the United States and said that they should carry out acts of retaliation without hesitation, stating: "Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans." Speaking over images of Manhattan skyscrapers, he said that the list of targets should be "effective," and declared: "There are no red lines." #TerrorThreat #AlAwlakiSpeech #JihadPropaganda #USNationalSecurity #IslamistExtremism #CounterTerrorism #RadicalIslam #HomegrownTerror #TerrorRecruitment #AssassinationPlot #ExtremistViolence #AntiSemitismAlert #TargetedViolence #USMilitaryThreat #TrumpSecurity #JewishCommunityAlert #MideastTensions #CyberTerrorismWatch #GlobalSecurityThreat #ManhattanThreatAlert ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.122~

Canada BOWS DOWN to Trump’s PRESSURE | Rescinds Digital Tax after Trump ā€˜KILLED’ Trade talks

Canada has officially scrapped its controversial 3% Digital Services Tax after former U.S. President Donald Trump halted all trade talks and threatened new tariffs. The tax, set to target tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Meta, faced intense U.S. backlash. Finance Minister Champagne said rescinding the tax is essential to reviving stalled negotiations. Ottawa had previously vowed not to yield, but with over 80% of Canadian exports reliant on the U.S., the rollback clears the way for renewed talks ahead of a July 21, 2025 deadline. #Canada #DigitalTax #Trump #USCanadaTrade #TradeTalks #Amazon #Meta #Google #TechTax #TariffThreat #DigitalServicesTax #Ottawa #MarkCarney #USExports #TradeFreeze #BreakingNews #EconomicPolicy #TradeDeal #CanadaUSRelations #FinanceMinister #TradeReversal #DigitalEconomy #CanadaBacktracks #TrumpTariffs #TaxRollback #BilateralTalks #GlobalTrade Also Read Canadian’s Viral Post Slams Sky-High Bengaluru Deposits: ā€˜I Could Buy A Thar Instead!’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/canadian-s-viral-post-slams-sky-high-bengaluru-deposits-i-could-buy-a-thar-instead-7786205.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Student Chants ā€˜Shankar Bhagwan Ki Jai’ At Graduation In Canada, Video Goes Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/indian-student-chants-shankar-bhagwan-ki-jai-video-goes-viral-canada-011-7785461.html?ref=DMDesc ā€˜Great American Pilots Very Upset’: Trump Flips Again on Iran Strike Damage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-debates-us-strikes-impact-on-iran-nuclear-programme-011-7783495.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~

EXPLAINED: What is Canada’s Digital Tax & Why it TRIGGERED Trump to KILL All Trade talks? |Trade War

Explained! Why President Trump abruptly ended all trade talks with Canada. Trump called Canada's Digital Services Tax a ā€œdirect & blatant attackā€ on U.S. firms. The tax, retroactive to 2022, targets tech giants like Amazon, Meta, and Google, sparking fierce backlash. Trump also threatened new tariffs on Canadian exports, reigniting major trade tensions. With over 80% of Canadian exports headed to the U.S., the move could disrupt industries and escalate economic strain on both sides of the border. #TrumpVsCanada #DigitalServicesTax #USCanadaTensions #TradeWar #TrumpTradePolicy #CanadaTax #BigTechTax #USCanadaRelations #TariffThreat #BreakingNews #Amazon #Google #Meta #Uber #TradeTalksCollapsed #RetaliationPolitics #TruthSocialPost #GlobalTradeCrisis #TechTaxBattle #DigitalTaxDispute #USExports #CanadaEconomy #Trump2025 #TradeDisruption #USPolitics #CanadaNews #CrossBorderTensions #TradeBacklash #RetroactiveTax #EconomicTensions #NorthAmericaTrade #GlobalMarketImpact Also Read Canadian’s Viral Post Slams Sky-High Bengaluru Deposits: ā€˜I Could Buy A Thar Instead!’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/canadian-s-viral-post-slams-sky-high-bengaluru-deposits-i-could-buy-a-thar-instead-7786205.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Student Chants ā€˜Shankar Bhagwan Ki Jai’ At Graduation In Canada, Video Goes Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/indian-student-chants-shankar-bhagwan-ki-jai-video-goes-viral-canada-011-7785461.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.124~HT.408~
