so the AI stuff causes too much CO2, instead of fixing their own hardware, the best they could do is to offset that CO2 amount by burying shit?
It's poetic... MS AI slings out massive amounts of shit and now the company gets to bury some of it to compensate

Yes, burying fertilizer traps biomass CO2 and then they can use that as carbon credit equivalent to claim CO² neutrality.
Of course, there's a reason why fertilizer is an inexpensive source of fixated carbon biomass and
this means all fertilizer will increase in price by the amount value of it's CO2 carbon credit equivalentThen maybe the buried fertilizer will become so valuable that it can be dug out and sold as fertilizer again.
I don't see any problems with this plan !

except the part the planet may be uninhabitable for humans by then due to the massive CO2 we are spewing to get slop from AI...
other than that, no problem at all

I thought the billion dollars of excrement they bought was OpenAI

Sure, sure but !

I'm surprised they had to outsource that as they have been producing so much shit for decades.

Watching Landman or you just familiar with the lingo?
Oh, was I using the correct lingo for hundred year old methane powered shit gushers? I had no idea. Lol!

Between the methane that generates and easily obtained phosphorous trapped down there, that's strictly a matter of time, unfortunately.

Greenwashing is a fraud.
Tecnowashing is also fraud.
Take a failed concept like the gold standard, technowash it, and you get crypto scamcoins.
Greenwashing, sportswashing (saudi arabia), sanewashing (presenting insane ideas as debatable ideas, like debating human rights with someone who is against human rights ends up sanewashing the anti-rights position), small business washing (using ostensibly a pro small business argument to push a fortune 100 agenda), worker washing (treat workers like shit in private but make pro worker noises in public), gender washing (the politician with an anti-woman agenda is a woman so it's OK), minority washing (a fascist pundit is a minority that fascism often targets, so fascism is OK now). Now we can add tecnowashing to the list.
Another example of technowashing is when a real estate company presents itself as a tech startup to inflate its valuation.
All this washing has exploded in recent years.
