1. Moar soalar???

2. Breathable air is more important than AI. Change my mind.

3. But the AI bros said AI would solve climate change. Are you saying tech bro lies like they do all the time? Get out of here!

4. So much for all that techno-optimism, ay?? 🙃

5. Can we all admit that except for medicine and other practical applications that are supposed to help people, we don’t need AI. We don’t need any of the corporate applications, especially if it’s creating a higher energy demand.

6. It is crypto mining. That is the problem.

7. I wonder if people just stop using electricity from the grid… if the power plants will demand they have to use it?
