xAI faces legal threat over alleged Colossus data center pollution in MemphisxAI faces legal threat over alleged Colossus data center pollution in Memphis

"For instance, if all the 35 turbines operated by xAI were using" add-on air pollution control technology "to achieve a NOx emission rate of 2 ppm"—as xAI's consultant agreed it would—"they would emit about 177 tons of NOx per year, as opposed to the 1,200 to 2,100 tons per year they currently emit," the letter said.

Allegedly, all of xAI's active turbines "continue to operate without utilizing best available control technology" (BACT) and "there is no dispute" that since xAI has yet to obtain permitting, it's not meeting BACT requirements today, the letter said. ....

Even in the age of TikTok, YouTube viewership continues to climb up. ... Even in the age of TikTok, YouTube viewership continues to climb. While Google's renowned video streaming platform has generally pressed developers to produce longer videos that can accommodate more ads, the site's Shorts format is growing quickly. That development may explode in the coming months, as YouTube CEO Neal Mohan has announced that the Google Veo 3 AI video generator will be incorporated with YouTube Shorts later this summer.According to Mohan, YouTube Shorts has seen a rise in appeal even compared to YouTube as a whole. The streaming platform is now the most seen source of video in the world, but Shorts specifically have actually seen an enormous 186 percent increase in viewership over the past year. Mohan says Shorts now average 200 billion daily views.YouTube has already geared up developers with a few AI tools, consisting of Dream Screen, which can produce AI video backgrounds with a text prompt. Veo 3 assistance will be a considerable upgrade. At the Cannes celebration, Mohan revealed that the streaming website will start offering combination with Google's leading video design later this summer. I think these tools will open brand-new imaginative lanes for everybody to explore, said Mohan. YouTube heavily promotes Shorts on the homepage. Credit: Google YouTube heavily promotes Shorts on the homepage. Credit: Google This relocation will require a few tweaks to Veo 3 outputs, however it seems like a perfect match. As the name implies, YouTube Shorts is meant for short video material. The format at first released with a 30-second ceiling, but that has given that been increased to 60 seconds. Because of the huge expense of generative AI, each generated Veo clip is quite short, a simple eight seconds in the present version of the tool. Slap a few of those together, and you've got a YouTube Short.

Some of the sediment layers consisted of the remains of ancient yard seeds mixed with the sediment. ... Some of the sediment layers included the remains of ancient grass seeds mixed with the sediment. Bennett and his associates radiocarbon-dated seeds from the layer just below the oldest footprints and the layer simply above the most recent ones. According to those 2021 results, the earliest footprints were made at some point after 23,000 years back; the most current ones were made at some point before 21,000 years ago.At that time, the northern half of the continent was numerous kilometers listed below massive sheets of ice. The presence of 23,000-year-old footprints could only indicate that individuals were already living in whats now New Mexico before the ice sheets sealed the southern half of the continent from the remainder of the world for the next few thousand years. Ancient human footprints discovered in situ at White Sands National Park in New Mexico. Credit: Jeffrey S. Pigati et al., 2023 Other researchers were skeptical of those outcomes, explaining that the marine plants (Ruppia cirrhosa) evaluated were susceptible to taking in the ancient carbon in groundwater, which could have skewed the findings and made the footprints appear older than they in fact were. And the pollen samples weren't drawn from the very same sediment layers as the footprints.So the exact same group followed up by radiocarbon-dating pollen sampled from the very same layers as a few of the footprintsthose that weren't too thin for sampling. This pollen originated from pine, spruce, and fir trees, i.e., terrestrial plants, thus dealing with the problem of groundwater carbon leaking into samples. They also analyzed quartz grains drawn from clay just above the most affordable layer of footprints using a different technique, optically promoted luminescence dating. They published those findings in 2023, which agreed with their earlier estimate.
