▲ 118 ▼ The Koch Network Is Pushing Trump to Accelerate AI, Documents Show (www.desmog.com) submitted 1 week ago by HaraldvonBlauzahn@feddit.org to c/technology@lemmy.world 4 comments fedilink hide all child comments cross-posted from: https://feddit.org/post/36751895 cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/72389992 O&G companies are pushing more AI so they can sell more fossil fuels to AI data centres. O&G companies are also investing in AI in the expectation that AI data centres will pay them back by buying their fossil fuels. Then of course, they'll tell us they're only meeting our own "demand" for fossil energy. Edit: I just noted this story is from 2025. Sorry about that.
