I’m looking for a recommendation for an Infectious Disease Doctor in or near Eugene. For chronic bacterial infection, possibly Lyme disease. Any positive reviews??
Referring to the Eugene Hyundai plant AI data center inquiry.
I was cut off on commenting on a local news channel thread.
With names removed, this was the exchange…
Question:
“Who is pro data centers??
If you are please tell us why.”
Answer:
“I mean you're using your phone, and you're using Facebook. And assuming you use a zillion more web services, which all require data centers. People only really started freaking out about them when Al got big on the scene.
I am very pro-Al. Neural nets are beautiful technology. Corperations will do awful things with them for sure, but that's just what capitalism does. Making Artificial Intelligence more accessible for the average person is a mission of mine, the tools are here, most people just don't know how to use them. I want to help people learn. This is hands down the coolest technology to have ever existed, right up there with fire imo, and this is still the infancy of it.”
KEZI 9 News limited who can comment on this post.
My response:
Well yes, I am satisfied with a library at my fingertips. You could also argue that YouTube is a data center. Do I need more? I'm not sure. What future information are you waiting for?
This said, are you pro Al enough to live next to one? Do you think there are any environmental pitfalls to building and running data centers? Do you believe data centers are harmless to people, plants and animals that live near them? Are these neighbors of data centers perpetuating a hoax and lying about being negatively affected?
Is there a toxin difference between “wild cherry species” and the “commercial cherry tree saplings and seedlings?”
Hello, I live in the Willamette valley in Oregon. I have sheep and I want to learn more about “wild cherry,” wilted leaf poisoning in livestock. We lost two young lambs simultaneously from an unknown plant toxin. According to the veterinarian, it was an extremely rare occurrence for twin 16 day old lambs to die within an hour of each other without trauma, which leads to a poisoning. There are “wild cherry” trees alongside our fence line, but the species is genetically connected to dispersed commercial cherry trees. My guess is that the lambs may have found and ate sapling leaves.
For miles, our local “wild” cherry trees come from commercial cherry seed droppings due to a “long gone bing cherry farm” in our region. I am trying to understand the toxin difference between the known toxic leaves of “wild cherry tree species” and dispersed commercial “wild cherry trees.” The cherry trees lining our fence do not truly resemble Prunus serotina, virginiana, emarginata, or pensylvanica, but, the commercial cherry tree seedlings appear to revert into a smaller fruited “wild” cherry. Knowing that they have been naturally dispersed by seed over decades, can a bing cherry tree revert back to a true “wild cherry tree?” Could these versions of “wild cherry” convert and carry significant toxins?
In 25 yrs of sheep herding and hundreds of lambings, we have never experienced a sudden unexplainable death of healthy lambs in our flock.
I’d love to talk with a plant toxicologist, or veterinary toxicologist about this.
Thank you.
