We build the technologies we want to see in the world.
People want and deserve to see themselves reflected in technology. We believe that the suite of tools known as “artificial intelligence” can include thoughtful, supportive, and inclusive technologies that benefit our communities. However, we also believe that AI is seldom the solution and its advance should not be treated as inevitable.

He makes it childs play for us, but we'll play our role in determining good emissions from bad ones
What’s happening in Memphis?
"An xAI supercomputer facility designed to power and train Musk’s AI chatbot Grok, Colossus is slated to be the world’s largest supercomputer, it was established in 2024."
"Those inputs are alarming, but the outputs are even worse. The facility’s behemoth methane gas turbines increase Memphis’s smog by 30-60% as they belch planet-warming nitrogen oxides and poisonous formaldehyde around the clock, pollutants linked to respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Quoting SELC, “xAI has been operating dozens of unpermitted methane gas turbines without public notice, permits, or air pollution controls. The number of turbines and extent of their emissions likely make xAI the largest industrial source of smog-forming pollutant in Memphis.”
Excerpt from Bit2men SUBSTACK below
The analogies are endless, when a new neighbor moves into the neighborhood, there is a litmus test to pass, this is common in most sociey and cultural situations
When a new neighbor moves in they are respected to respect the "hood", this is a given, since when was it cool for a new neighbor to move in and just start soiling, poisoining, and draining the communities resources
THIS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE SOMEONE WHO IS PLAYING ON OR EVEN FOR THE HOME TEAM
"THEY'RE NOT PART OF THE "HOOD"
ok, SO THEY PLAY FOR THE away TEAM, THAT MEANS THAT They's Aren't looking out for the people in the hood they live in, their loyalties lie elsewhere, they may wave at you in passing, but they don't mingle with the hood, they play for the away team
now what happens in a culture when a stranger comes in on a slick vehicle telling all to come around so that they can be sold the latest snake oil, in this case it is part of a system made by THE REPTILE, but we digress, this snake oil salesman told the town square what it wanted to hear, he gained their favour and then exploited it , he tailored it to explot as much money as possible for his roadshow
