    Part of the reason it’s as terrible for the environment as it is is because billions are being poured into keeping it running even though it’s not as profitable (or profitable at all) as they want you to believe it is. If the users actually had to pay the cost it takes to train and run these things, nobody (except maybe propaganda mills) would pay it because it would be a wildly expensive ripoff. The corporations and venture capitalists are hoping to get everyone addicted to it before they start squeezing.

    If taxes pump the brakes on this shit even faster, all the better.
