When you process data with that energy, you can have prompt specified porn with slightly less finglers than your furrent prompt specified porn.
When you process mass with that energy, you have products that people can use and that can improve their lives.
So, yes, actually? Did you think that datacenters did not burn a bunch of resources alongside that electricity, like clean water, and output a bunch of nastiness approximately continuously, leaving aside entirely the issue of the video cards that enter as structured mass and leave a year later as toxic ewaste? What is that data processing facility offering that we need and at the same time, lived without entirely, ten years ago?
Tonight, I’m gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive
And the world, I’ll turn it inside out, yeah

Don’t stop me

On priors, you’re talking about the Cass report, which was in fact massively flawed, and I saw a great deal of discussion on it. Among other issues, they tossed out a lot of studies, and wrote the report from the stance that the only studies worth looking at would have been double blind studies. I’m not sure if you’ve considered this specifically, but it’s pretty damn hard to blind starting to grow boobs or facial hair. Cass, the supposedly neutral party conducting the study, was handing out copies of “Irreversible Damage”, a scaremongering antitrans book about how the poor helpless young “women” were being seduced by big trans. It was garbage, and there’s plenty of writeups on it.

Our civilization has somehow decided that, if you have money, you have a goddess-given right to get ALL UP EVERY WHERE IN THE LIFE OF EVERY PERSON AND HEY YOU ARE NOT PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION LET ME GET EVEN LOUDER SO YOU CAN HEAR ME EVEN IF YOU WALK OUT OF THE ROOM FOR YOUR OWN SANITY SINCE EVERYBODY ELSE IS JUST GOING TO BE LIKE, “WHAT ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT?”
It is not great.
