I always feared that the AI data center boom was likely going to make the looming climate catastrophe inevitable, but there was something about seeing it all presented on a platter with a smile and an excited presentation that struck me as more than just tone-deaf. It was damn near revolting.
A sobering take on
#NVIDIA #Computex and the future it envisions. I find it more surreal than revolting--how do people not see that this future being conjured is not possible for us?--but yes, the tech sector has jumped the shark. The possible futures tech companies are evoking are revolting to a lot of people, not enticing or exciting.
