At least it’s a simple choice.
What I find interesting is that a lot of these changes which are attributed to the purportedly "inevitable" changes associated with AI, are real consequences of climate change.
It's as if AI is used as a distraction. Like the "accusation in a mirror pattern".
Good timing when most of the Europe is literally burning in heat. Data centers, of course 🙃
AI craze in "Europe" (not all Europe) is another example of some people blindly following USA for no real reasons. There is political fight right now and we have to decide whether we will forge our own better destiny or fall prey to American ruling class of tech bros, billionaires and conservatives who are their executive branch.

Not a difficult choice by any means
Climate or progress, false dilemma fallacy
Probably best to post a removepaywalls.com/ link. I wouldn't want to support the bastards at Axel Springer.
@HaraldvonBlauzahn yeah, #techfacism. #aisects. How can this be a choice?! Fucking greedy billionaires!
