So he just wheeled 35 methane gas turbines, unlicensed, to the site and plugged them in to start powering Colossus.
And those methane gas turbines started funneling enormous amount of methane into the air.
So talk about climate implications.
And then also pumping thousands of tons of toxins into...
And I met with one of the activists that's now leading the fight against Colossus.
His name is Kashan Pearson.
And at an event where he was speaking, he told everyone to close their eyes and to take two deep breaths.
And afterwards, he was like, that is a human right to breathe clean air.
And that's what's being taken away from us.
AI is a political project.
The central feature of that political project is taking agency away from everyone.
And Mr. Blair has successfully continued to propagate this idea that no one has agency in this, which is, I think, deeply anti-democratic.
The entire premise of democracy is that we are able to shape our future.
And if someone is saying you cannot stop one of the forces that will come to shape how the future looks, then what's even the point of democracy after that?
I mean, that is deeply untrue.
The things that we do today is what shapes our future.
And there are many people around the world that are now actively contesting the way that these empires of AR are engaging
in this technological imperial project.
And it's having an effect on these companies.
So everything that Blair said is, I think, absolutely not true.
