        Because of the environmental cost and climate change

        Because of the jobs being destroyed by productivity gains

        Because of the Internet starting to fill up with slop that drowns out the really relevant sites

          Do you realize these companies are now making bigger investments into green energy?

          This was always going to happen with the advancement of technology. It’s inevitable so long as humanity survives long enough.

          Like what?

            To fight climate change, we need investment in green energy. That doesn’t mean we need more and more data centers (there’s a surge since 2022) using an energy mix with a undetermined ratio of fossile energy and green energy.

            Yeah, I know Shumpeter theory. It does not predict what happens when a new technology massively destroies white collar and creative jobs.
