A surge in new datacenters, each with the power demand of 100,000 households and a cooling water demand of 1,000,000 m³ per year to train AI models on material obtained without consent on hardware now unaffordable to consumers so fascism-adjacent tech billionaires can sell us the idea that any skill is now worthless and in doing so creating the largest economic bubble ever while simultaneously destroying society and environment.

@oli @punissuer you made a little mistake when you wrote “fascism-adjacent” instead of “fascist”
@bobschi @oli @punissuer still a good term though. Collaborating, facilitating, driving, capitalising and manipulating also come to mind as well as adjacent.
