I have issues with this article, but the point about the environment is interesting.
the author’s Substack bio says “Director of EA DC”
his website explains the acronym - it’s “Effective Altruism DC”
at this point, your alarm bells should start ringing.
but if you are blissfully aware, “effective altruism” is a goddamn scam. it is an attempt by Silicon Valley oligarchs and techbros to wrap “I shouldn’t have to pay taxes” in a philosophical cloak. no more, no less.
take all of his claims about “no bro AI datacenters are totally fine don’t listen to the naysayers” with a Lot’s-wife-sized pillar of salt.
Damn that’s some next level detective work. Thx for the details
