First they came for our crops to power the data centers. Then the people.
My hope is that a breakthrough makes these planet-eaters complete folly, as a $100 optical processor trounces them.
And we'll have all that defaulted power generation capacity to run our human heating and cooling needs.
That is, unless we spend trillions fill the black holes created upon stellar collapse. [0]
Grift can make that happen.
