True. And now we contrast this with the additional pollution deaths the increased energy and resource consumption will lead to. 1.3 million people isn't very many. Currently we're in a paradoxical situation where there are two very contrasting mantras in society: 1. We need to reduce our carbon emissions, cut down on resource consumption and move to only producing energy from renewable sources. And 2. We should have more automation, more AI, more data, more computation in general. Both directly contradict each other, anyone who's looked into the state of batteries and renewable energy knows we simply don't have a way for both to be true. In fact, we drastically have to reduce energy consumption if we want to make that green dream work, there's no practical way as of today to store all the solar and wind energy that would be needed for it.
