There is a story going around about Bezos at #VivaTech in Paris, the first and last third of which are reasonable, the middle third of which has him saying that water for data centres is more important than "b/a/s/e/l/i/n/e h/u/m/a/n c/o/m/f/o/r/t." His appearance at VivaTech is online. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myT8IbQfHSw ) The middle third is not reflected there. The middle third DOES, however, appear in BPD News, a PARODY account on Instagram. (BPD News: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZu8trmR89Y/ Relevant post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZu8trmR89Y/ ) I think this is either deliberate disinformation, or AI-slop producing the same result. Either way, I would not boost it, and would delete any boosts already made. #uspol #uspolitics #ai #DataCenters #news #Bezos #JeffBezos

not everything horrible that is reported is true There is a story going around about Bezos at VivaTech in Paris, the first and last third of which are reasonable, the middle third of which has him saying that water for data centres is more important than “b/a/s/e/l/i/n/e h/u/m/a/n c/o/m/f/o/r/t.”2 His appearance at VivaTech is online. There are multiple near-complete and complete videos, here’s one that includes him being introduced. The middle third is not reflected therein.1 The middle third DOES, however, appear on BPD News, a PARODY account on Instagram. In particular, that seems to be the origin of the quotes. I think this is either deliberate disinformation, or AI-slop producing the same result. Either way, I would not boost it, and would delete any boosts already made. n.b.: 1: I didn’t sit through the whole thing several times, I searched the transcripts of several different postings, and the quotes are in none of them. 2: The hard-coded strikethrough is an attempt to keep the meme from being propagated by AI scrapers. It may not work, but I felt I had to try. #politics #tech #uspol #uspolitics
