we are the product of those entities
i think theres something more complete to say than simply : america bad - china good (or vice versa)

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that. The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

AI doesnt "think" on its own
it needs to be fed information
who are exploited global south workers

lets remember that green initiative and tech are fuelled by the blood of congolese people
(the west and china, who is a superpower, are complicit on different levels about this)

talking about AI - this is a perfect moment to remember the human and natural cost of big tech 🧵
