Can we stop ourselves from irreversible harm to the planet, though? Not necessarily turning back, but imposing reasonable constraints to growth?

I have less faith every day that this is possible. We are already going to clear 2 degrees C.

The planet is going to be just fine. We as a species might not.

Burning gas for AI slop. Great. Also not sustainable, as a business or otherwise. Ten years ago it was cryptocurrencies, now it's AI. Just new ways to burn electricity for dubious gains. Our future sucks and no amount of green bills is gonna fix it.
