Let’s make one thing clear: The “extinction warning” was marketing.

Funny that it works well to distract from the real extinction we are facing, an absolutely serious, scientifically proven threath to all of humanity: Accelerated climate change if we do not get away now from fossil fuels. A world with 3 ° C warming, which is the path we are on, will not be survivable for technical civilizations. And time is running out. A problem to which AI data centers are only contributing to.
