Since every activity has some externalities and also unexpected positive effects, isn’t focusing on just the negative effects of this one thing very lopsided?

- kergonath 2y agoThat’s fine, you can have one article on negative implications and another one on opportunities. It’s two different subjects, with different data and different approaches, and possibly different specialised authors. You don’t have to both-sides everything all the time.
- gruez 2y agoThat's true, but the articles on negative implications are being selectively written. For instance, there's a deluge of articles about pollution from AI datacenters (and before that, crypto mining), but hardly a peep about pollution from the US healthcare system, or education, even though those are arguably far higher. As a result, such articles comes across as selectively written hit-pieces rather than objective reporting.
