Fairness is subjective

They will untimely kill their own market and go out of business. A few rich households donâ(TM)t consume much and when the majority of the country is on payment plans for individual pop tarts deflation will be rampant. Capital will dry up, stocks will crash because no one exists to buy in, infrastructure will crumble, and all the big powerful companies will be shown as paper.

Those data center projects will crash head first into the decades long power plant building process. I bet most will not be able to operate.

China does not operate a market economy. It is a command economy. The Chinese government will command industry to build factories and produce goods, and industry will do so because factory managers who do not make quota will lose their jobs potentially be jailed

It canâ(TM)t be replenished can it?

To shove so many ads in your face that you pass out or have a seizure. Remember ready player one? Thatâ(TM)s the future the tech industry wants for us all, loyalty centers included.

A doofus in an office has a spreadsheet that says you deliver more value when youre in the office longer

Tech almost never delivers its promises. Social media was supposed to unite society, but it made society more polarized and divided than ever. The internet was supposed to make information more accessible and provide benefits to move society forward, but instead its generated paywalls and fueled the outrage economy in the name of clicks. Shorter work weeks and more leisure time have been promised for decades, and never delivered. People routinely work 50+ hours per week. In the 1990s, the buzz was paperless office but now there is more paper than ever before. Consumers want cheap products and managers want complaint drones as employees who live at the office. AI is going to be used (for better or worse, most likely worse) to throw more employees out of work do the ones who remain can be motivated to work 70+ hours per week. I see no reason the believe otherwise.

They only care about quarterly results, not long term planning. Thats why the all grow through acquisitions. That short term thinking is a core societal problem

Remove all your code from GitHub, today. Stop whining and fix the problem. Until you remove the code from Github, you will get the middle finger because at the end of the day Microsoft does not care what you think. Microsoft wants to use your work to train AI so it can replace you.

Not to mention where anyone is going to get the money to invest in the first place. Instead people will be on 24 month payment plans for individual pop tarts

I missed the part where retired folks were buying imported fast fashion (made from plastic), gadgety toys (made from plastic), and throw away electronics (made from lots of plastic). None of these cheap products are made in a sustainable fashion and most wind up in landfills within a year. They can ship that crap to 3rd world countries if they want.

We donâ(TM)t need more cheap throw away junk thats made by sweatshop labor in high pollution factories

They've looked at ~75 years of direct temperature measurements, a few decades of CO2 measurements, and concluded "correlation equals causation". CO2 has risen from 0.03% to 0.04% concentration in our atmosphere. When one draws a straight line on a graph, its going to look bad whether or not its the truth. In terms of thermodynamics and specific heat, it makes no sense that CO2 at these levels is enough to generate a catastrophic greenhouse effect. Was the climate of Rome changed by massive greenhouse gas emissions? Was the Bronze Age collapse triggered by mediterranean kings driving SUVs? Nope.

Especially when you can watch 4 minute video clips of influencers on your phone. In all seriousness, if a EMP went off it would do the world a tremendous service
