What's the alternative - give up all hope of civilization being able to accomplish anything good? I get it - there's lobbyists and "enshitification" and a million other things wrong with the world to contend with. But there's an awful lot of good things that humans have built, too. Despite certain aspects of life getting shittier, I still don't want to go back in time and live in any other point in history. And I can't even if I did.

I guess one alternative would be to just stop building data centers altogether. But to me that feels like giving up on progress. I'd rather try to figure out ways to make data centers suck less.
