    What if companies lobbied and depositioned that oil consumption wasn’t bad, greenhouse gasses don’t matter, and that climate change wasn’t real? All while having evidence to the contrary.

    Like, a company does a thing. Turns out it was a bad thing, but - as an industry - lied under oath and paid money to have it all swept under the rug.
    That’s pretty damn bad.

    AI companies seem to be marketing their thing as a bad thing, idiots drink the coolaid and make it a bad thing.

    I think we are early enough in the adoption cycle before it becomes incumbent.
    Whereas oil adoption was a miracle liquid/gas that absolutely moved humanity forward at the expense of the planet.
    AI replaces humanity at the expense of the planet.
