If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
Here's my wrench Sam. And, I get what everyone is saying. But you can't be in an echo chamber. I don't like the energy and resource uses myself.
Humans aren't tools. What is the energy cost of a human doing that same scenario? And, you need to start from the beginning as they did. 25 years and a lot more than 2.9kwh.
Horses aren't tools. They're horses. Used for hundreds of years, until technology changed their roles that humans used them for. They are still around, the world hasn't ended, but it's, you know, endless junk yards and wars. Not the best scenario.
The problem I see it is that science fiction is becoming a religion. The tech bros are picking out the parts of Ian M. Banks Culture series and ignoring all the inconvenient parts. Like 25,000 years into the future. And it's fiction.
And going back to what I said earlier, I don't care for the data centers myself. I believe that the money should be going towards Material Sciences for fusion containment vessels that last more than 10 seconds. It's then that we can go hog wild with this shit.
Anyways that's my brief liberal arts education take on it in this small space that I can barely articulate. Don't kill the messenger.
