AI data centers are sucking up water and power. Industry PACs are spending millions to buy our elections. And AI is already being used to facilitate online scams, deny insurance claims, and price-gouge consumers. Sam Altman's response? We should "accept some bad things happening." Hello?

So interest rates have to go up because we need 100,000s people to lose their jobs, but a climate catastrophe coal mine has to be expanded because we can't use 1,500 jobs? I'm not indifferent to the material conditions of workers, but this system sure is.
