Comment on the tech billionaires have lost the plot

Especially regarding the environmental aspects, I feel like the whole thing could just be solved by zoning datacentres as industrial and applying slightly stricted regulation.
AI doesn’t kill the environment by itself, it just needs a lot of energy and there needs to be some planning put into providing clean energy for datacentres without spinning gas turbines or raising energy prices immensely for the average Joe.

Why? Energy surplus in the region. So much electricity that the grid couldn’t accept it all. From wind farms. These are the kind of places to target.
