Tech really went downhill since Alphabet started using machine learning to help the oil industry find more deposits.
It created a feedback loop where datacenters increase both energy consumption and energy production. "AI" is just the current upshot. Energy use is exploding and its being fed by an exploding increase in oil production enabled by the very computer clusters that consume most of the excess production.
The global warming death spiral has begun. Brace for impact.
