What if companies lobbied and depositioned that oil consumption wasn’t bad, greenhouse gasses don’t matter, and that climate change wasn’t real? All while having evidence to the contrary.
Like, a company does a thing. Turns out it was a bad thing, but - as an industry - lied under oath and paid money to have it all swept under the rug.
That’s pretty damn bad.
AI companies seem to be marketing their thing as a bad thing, idiots drink the coolaid and make it a bad thing.

AI replaces humanity at the expense of the planet.
