The race to destroy the environment continues SMH

What do you mean? You're still using AI you're just letting the Americans and Chinese run it for you

This is what I was saying earlier about the green European false economy, Europe prides itself on being so green, but 90% of its digital tech is outsourced to other countries, it would not surprise me if 99% of Europeans were talking on a smartphone made in China, a computer made in China, AI and operating systems made in the US, all the while trying to stifle and regulate to death their own companies

You want them to build the equipment in the EU so at least you have a better chance of powering it with renewables

The European Union also exports a whole lot of stuff.

Last time I checked some estimates, the EU was supposedly emitting more CO2 for the stuff we export, than was emitted abroad for the stuff we import.
