Data centers are Mako reactors from FF7. They’re sucking the lifeblood of the Earth to use it to speed up our destruction at the hands of cartoonishly evil megacorps.
And the promise the tech companies sold their investors on was to cut out the need for human workers and replace them with defective chatbots.
That’s the next giant bubble that’s about to burst. Old money got taken by tech conmen who promised they could finally stop having to deal with human employees and their need for money for basic necessities.
It’s all just so incredibly evil. Billionaires are a blight on all of humanity. From Epstein’s Island to this incredibly shortsighted gamble and all the ones before it. They’re greedy, evil, and stupid, while being entirely unchecked by basic critical thinking.
They are actively trying to doom us all for just a little more.
