Here is a contrary take on the environmental impact of data centers. Even if we have other concerns about AI (I certainly do), we should always decide climate issues based on what the science says; this is an argument that we’re not doing that. And we may still decide building huge numbers of data centers is a bad idea, but we should do so for the right reasons. The author is not a blind tech booster, either.

Normally, I pick aisle seats so I can stretch my legs, but this was an hour flight and they wanted an extra $60 for aisle seating. So I picked a window seat and general boarding (no luggage for this trip, just a laptop bag). That means I get to take photos, albeit just with the phone. Like this one of Mount Shasta.
