DRAFT: Big Tech AI Energy Demands Will Solve Climate Change Like Bombs Solve War
Sep 25, 2024
Claiming Big Tech’s power demands for generative AI will help us transition to clean energy is just Full Kool Aid Capitalism. AI Will Solve Climate Change. Bombs Will Solve War. Money Will Solve Greed.
There’s no mention of a *just* energy transition. No analysis given to the incredible amounts of extra steel and cement needed for wind farms we wouldn’t need but for Altman’s buggy software.
I’m not anti-capitalism but I am worried about growth for growth’s sake. This only fuels billionaire lifestyles.
