Considering the environmental impact AI is generating in the West, I wonder if AI is meant to be the final squeeze of the proletariat before they expect full environmental collapse.
Honestly, I can't see how the AI bubble can last long enough to really make a huge difference in terms of the environment. I think it's rather a last desperate push for the west to try and magic their way out of being completely deindustrialized.
I agree, I'm just musing on the possibility that there is a growing consensus among the capitalist class that environmental collapse is likely unavoidable at this point.
Oh fur sure, the recent Gates interview kind of lays it out where he says he's no longer worried about climate change.
Fuck you're exactly right I forgot to incorporate that that was one of the premises I was operating from.
I can forsee the bubble popping and something like Palantir buying up all the data centers for pennies. Could be the point of tripling down.
