    "We are working on a technology that will accelerate climate change while hopefully making most of the population unemployed in a world where unemployment means you barely get the basic necessities of life, if even that! What? Why are you all booing?

      More like “We are throwing cartloads of money at technology at the expense of actually meaningful improvements. Oh, and shedding jobs as well. Gotta make the lines go up. Oh, and we don’t care at all for the environment, and this technology just so happens to be terrible af towards it. Oh, and don’t expect getting a new ram stick in the next 2 years at the very least”
