The extent of the pollution being put out by thousands of data centers is shocking. Some developers are exploiting regulatory loopholes.

          AI is great for society. Just because it’s still in its early years doesn’t mean we won’t have better uses for it later.

              That’s the only way we can get out of having to do boring, repetitive jobs literately forever until the end of time.

                Yeah such as (checks notes) Art, Music, Writing and joy, so we can (checks notes) be the condom between Claude and Production, be a babysitter for a stupid AI, and have our livelihoods destroyed.

                I love that
