The political-economy of generative AI seems to mark a wider systemic shift from the greenwashing of 'green growth' to the open nihilism of 'growth! screw the green!'.

@danmcquillan Yup. The AI boosters are all-in on the idea that every human being on the planet (read: all large tech companies) should be seeking to always maximize that amount of energy they consume. Not even joking, that's a core belief: That by not exhausting all the available resources, we are somehow slacking and being less productive than we could.
