    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 can forsee the bubble popping and something like Palantir buying up all the data centers for pennies. Could be the point of tripling down.

        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.
