I joined the Microsoft climate solutions team, I think doing so has crushed all my hopes. That team is doing small things like "let's all go plastic free for July!" Top 20 company in the world and the best we can do is go plastic free for a month? Meanwhile MSFT is not on course to meet their own climate goal by 2030
we're aiming to do 1% more recycling this year ๐ช๐ช๐ช
recycling plastic is not as shiny as advertised, just burn this shit for energy instead
I like it. Burn trash to power data centers running LLMs. Garage in, garbage out
it's better used for municipal heating, you know, something actually useful
Instructions unclear, burned datacenter instead.
(To any 3 letter agencies reading this, I'm making a joke, I'm not pro burning down datacenters, that is Yuds thing).
Less recycling more reusing bottles for molotovs please
reduce, reuse, recycle, retaliate
I'm on a group text with your exec colleagues. Disheartening would be an understatement.
you're our guy on the inside then? we can hit it from the outside and maybe we can accomplish together
