The fossil fuel industry seems willing to fund AI for as long as it takes.

It's bringing in enormous profits from double digit electricity utility rate increases.

It's re-opening coal & oil fired electricity generators.

Data centers are keeping fossil fuel demand artificially inflated.

AI is intended to interfere with elections, thwart a fossil fuel phase out, & end democracy.

Oil oligarchs everywhere are happy with the results even if AI never turns a profit.
