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.

Politicians are mostly too stupid and selfish to do the right thing.

This story tried to see the positive of a data centre floating in the sea and powered by a wind turbine, but there's no way the positives will outweigh the negatives.
