R.E.L. @fancydancer.bsky.social · 15/09/2026So AI has risks. AI companies think we need to slow down. How about we stop subsidizing data centers and compute costs and build the true costs and externalities into the pricing?? Seems like the market could help address the problem if we stopped these sweetheart data center deals. 130
