I'm still working on this AI data center environmental effects talk (which, let me tell you, is seriously fucking depressing), but I wanted to share the best article I've come across on this topic, in case anyone else is interested in knowing exactly how much to hate slop-AI* use: https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1116327/ai-energy-usage-climate-footprint-big-tech/

(I am using slop-AI purposefully here to mean something you could do with more effort on your part, in a less energy intensive way)
