@Huntn00@mastodon.world But the same is true of nuclear weapons.
"Someone built a machine that is going to end the world" is a phrase I have been hearing MY WHOLE LIFE. And no one has ended the world in an irradiated manner yet, and it's pretty doubtful we will, because humans can do stuid shit but they can also do amazing things, like predict that ending the world is a bad idea.

@Wyatt_H_Knott@mastodon.sdf.org @SteveThompson@mastodon.social Will you feel like ‘oops’ when we all get irradiated? 😉 It’s an alarm being sounded. A good alarm because raising awareness might change a path for the better, say like restricting the number of data centers to just what is necessary, not excessive, that by reports we can’t afford environmentally or economically. 1:2
