@arstechnica Also note the increase of harmless sounding “data centers”

@arstechnica But can’t they use AI to solve that problem? Or might it decide people would be best used as batteries?

@arstechnica More like AI is becoming a bottleneck for human survival.

@arstechnica The really, really, sad thing about this is that most of that computational power and the crowning technological achievement is the production of escapist fantasies generating deep fakes of robot cats having sex and not trying to solve hunger or the next pandemic. Human culture has failed.
