The talk around AI and developers makes me think of Jevons Paradox [0] where more efficient use of a resource increases it's consumption rather than decreases it.
We should wish for technological progress causing more efficient (and in turn less) use of resources. It does not seem to be the case.
Yeah. My worry with Fusion eventually being solved is it will make energy so abundant that we will find novel ways to waste it. Ideally it is used to solve things like our climate crisis - but who knows.
