Or we could not do that... Technology is meant to serve us not drive us into a hellscape lol

  What's wrong with that? There are now materials that allow you to have solar panels on a window (so they are not opaque anymore), and we can put data centers under our feet.

    Did you read the original comment? > AI data centers crowd us out. > the entire surface of the earth will be covered with solar panels and data centers.

      Yes, so our buildings' windows will be solar panels, what's wrong with that? And all our floors can be data centers, what's wrong with that?

        You may want to lay off the LLM and practice your reading comprehension.

          Ok I guess my mind didn't think "entire surface of the earth" would really mean entire surface of the earth because that's just abhorrently stupid. I mean, in order to cover the entire surface of the earth with datacenters, we would first need to build stuff on the entire surface of the earth... Which would take... thousands of years? And I'm sure we would grow some trees on top of the data-centers along the way.

  "we"? Are we all now billionaires who decide what gets built and who gets laid off? None of "us" gets to decide this. Only the very wealthy get to decide.

    There's a way for us to have a say in the matter. It's happened before.
    • leptons 5mo ago
      Okay, what way? What happened before? Don't be vague.

        Stop acting dumb. That person is obviously talking about a revolution.

  In the current system technology is meant to serve the shareholders. That might end up serving us, if you believe the standard narrative. But maybe the shareholders will just carve out a few nature reserves for themselves and just wait for the rest of us to die off.

    Time for a new system then!
