The author of this article is an AI industry promoter and lobbyist. Just read through his substack which was the first red flag. He's on Substack. The author has a history of making misleading claims about the environmental safety and efficacy of AI. This guy is going to need some pom-poms to cheer any harder for the AI industry.

Would you care to explain in what way his claims have been misleading? Because I have read all of his articles and attacked his math and his sources, and so on, and I haven't found them misleading at all. The biggest way I've seen him accuse of being misleading makes the exact mistake he responds to from Joshi in [this piece](https://blog.andymasley.com/p/replies-to-criticisms-of-my-ch...).
We don't need to take sides though. It's fairly easy to find some of the papers and whether they were referenced in the Benn Jordan video or not, and whether they say what he says or the article author says.

I have generally enjoyed Benn Jordan's videos, but I have also been skeptical about the infrasound / hum stuff. It seemed like amplifying a fringe pseudoscience, much like the wireless and 5g stuff. So not that surprised to see a debunking article.
