When AI hurts the climate—and when it helps Said 23 Jan 2026
Current AI technology is being used inefficiently and without sufficient transparency or oversight.
And right now, there's no question that much new AI technology is using energy inefficiently and operating with no transparency or oversight, and with no regard to its harmful side effects.

The environmental and social costs of current AI systems are not distributed evenly.
The environmental and social costs of today's AI systems are not hypothetical, and they aren't evenly shared, either. Once again, those who are benefitting the least from this development are bearing the brunt of the impacts: and that's very bad news.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
