All of that is beside the point that advocating for all data centres to be destroyed is advocating for something not just completely unrealistic but also extremely harmful since the internet is a key component of the economy and modern society in general now. It is possible to take the position that AI has huge risks and development of it should be halted without saying incredibly unreasonable things like all data centres must be destroyed. I think that position is wishful thinking but it's at least possible to have a reasonable discussion from that angle.

Well the opposite is even worse, as further data center construction is pushing us towards economic collapse, extinction, or both, and tech CEOs are too selfish and short-sighted to come up with a solution that doesn't result in that. It's not like all of a sudden data center development will be moved to the moon or space, because the Epstein class is too cheap and corrupt to do that.

You can take the position that there should be a pause on future data centre construction or that governments should halt development of AI instead of saying all data centres should be destroyed then. More than anything just keep in mind that data centres aren't a new thing that started getting built a few years ago, they're very important facilities that are required for modern society to function so nuance is extremely important for this topic.
