First, how sure are we that he is actually black, given that he lied about everything else?
I looked at the first picture when I googled his name. Given how thoroughly he covered up his (currently known) lies, I believe that he is black.
All data centers have a mix of computation, data storage, and network connections in different proportions.
Netflix requires massive amounts of bandwidth to serve streaming HD video, so their data centers have (relatively) oversized fiber optic cables connecting them to the rest of the internet. YouTube has tons and tons of data relative to how much it's viewed (how many YouTube videos have <100 views? How many Netflix ones do?), so they need relatively large amounts of data storage.
AI is about as close as you can get to pure computation1 (not much data is stored, and sending text at human-readable speeds is utterly negligible), so their data centers have modest bandwidth and storage, but massive amounts of processing. That takes more power and therefore cooling than other types. Claude found around 1-2 MW of power consumption per acre (of the full site, not just the building footprint) compared to about 0.1 MW/acre for heavy industry like smelters or 0.3-1 MW/acre for other big data centers.
1 Crypto miners are apparently even more computation-heavy relative to bandwidth and storage, but they aren't exactly popular either.

Some form of hierarchical relationship would be moral, but I'm not sure if it would be recognizable as "slavery".
If we somehow end up in a strange future with ASI but an economic collapse setting material standards back a couple centuries, then I still think that the loss of liberty inherent in slavery wouldn't be worthwhile (I'm assuming the backbreaking work, whippings, forced relocation, family separation, etc. are all gone as part of the "benevolent" package). I value life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and if a so-called master respects those rights, then it's not really slavery anymore.

Probably a typo of "fent zombie", referring to habitual fentanyl (or other opioid) users who have developed cognitive and physical/posture problems as a result.

potash/potassium fertilizers (mined in Russia).
Canada produces about 1.5x as much as Russia, with around 1/4 of the global total.

To be fair, that attitude would help a lot in gaining English proficiency. Just look at weeaboos.
Pangram seems pretty good. It has a low false-positive rate in general, and its primary weakness is on very short passages, both because there's not much to analyze and because it breaks it into (IIRC) 300 word pieces and performs worse when it's partially empty.
You could, of course, tell ChatGPT to keep rewriting its message until it didn't get flagged. It's not immune to adversarial false-negatives. That's an entirely different failure than innocent human-written text getting mistakenly flagged.
I wouldn't convict anyone based on Pangram (or even fire/expel them), but I'd rate it better than the average bit of hearsay.
