AI Climate Data Centers Election Integrity Episode Greg Palast Linux Thom Hartmann Vigilantes Vote Stealing WSUM

TMI 02/07/2025 – Greg Palast on the Hard Numbers of Trump’s 2024 Election Theft, How Linux Kernel 6.13 and DeepSeek Could Usher In an Era of Climate-friendly AI, more

Investigative Reporter Greg Palast has recently been on The Thom Hartmann Program to give the news that Trump and his allies STOLE the 2024 Presidential Election, just as Greg had predicted with his documentary on electoral shenanigans “Vigilantes Inc”. He joins us today to get the most airtime ANY program has yet given him to go over the hard numbers that took MONTHS to fully compile – it takes time when not everyone wants to cooperate with an investigation! Tune in for a DEEP dive that shows that not only does Trump have NO “mandate” to do what he’s doing, he has no right to be President at all!

Next, we find out that the energy-ravenous data centers that are expanding tremendously to accommodate the exponential growth of AI have been given a tool to use LESS energy in all that computing from an unexpected source: just 30 lines of code in the Linux kernel used by many of those servers! Combine that with the reported efficiency of the nascent AI DeepSeek, and we may be able to include AI in a future that DOESN’T destroy the environment… that is, if we don’t blow the rest of the effort. All this and more on TMI for Friday, February 07, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

TMI 06/28/2024 – Coastal Flooding Risk Has Been Underestimated by IPCC Models, AI Data Centers’ Hidden Power Use is Being Paid For By Us, What Do We Do When Digital News Archives Like MTV News Vanish?, more

On this week’s episode, we look at a pair of new studies that have discovered a flaw in the UN’s IPCC models that predict how much sea levels will rise, and how horrific coastal flooding will get.

Next, we examine the surprise unilateral move by media conglomerate Paramount Global to pull all MTV News (and CMT News) content offline – over 20 years of music and cultural reporting and history gone in a flash – and how it spells trouble fast if action isn’t taken to stop this from happening again.

Finally, we take a deep look into the hidden costs of power and water that giant AI data centers charge all of us.
