Honestly, I can't see how the AI bubble can last long enough to really make a huge difference in terms of the environment. I think it's rather a last desperate push for the west to try and magic their way out of being completely deindustrialized.

Oh fur sure, the recent Gates interview kind of lays it out where he says he's no longer worried about climate change.

I can forsee the bubble popping and something like Palantir buying up all the data centers for pennies. Could be the point of tripling down.
