I can see how that's bad, but what relationship is there between these extreme weather events and the companies putting billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere? You're taking it out on the wrong person, we're all in this together.

Which is why it's so important to keep burning fossil fuels until our GDP is high enough that we can deal with this whole mess
If enough data centers are built, the data regurgitating magic mirrors on the wall might come up with a tech magic solution to the problems made worse by more data centers being built 
Oh my god someone just said this to me today regarding “AI,” it’s unreal how idiotic these people are
That bazinga take pops up here on Hexbear sometimes, too. It's often bundled with "but China also uses this" as if that is a blank check for all the panopticon corporate surveillance state shit and the "replace workers no matter how bad an idea it is" hype drive to make the mostly sunk-cost venture capital investments seem less like a sunk cost.

China is using the technology for purposes that remove toil and improve quality of life.
The western dragon-chasing is in pursuit of "singularity" fantasies and fueled by contempt for workers.
the socialist reforms in china have done well, but they need to advance. Youth unemployment, Private healthcare, no right to strike, export focus economy, and such are areas where socialist reforms are necessary. But i have hope that china will do so, they have capital back under them, and perhaps they can re-stabilize the ownership of the dictatorship of the working class back on china.
But yeah the west is fucked to hell, can't wait to see it fall
Holy shit
They don’t care until it happens to them and then the blame to goes to all the undesirables.
If I saw that shit blocking my commute, I would simply run over it.
