      CEOs and alleged LLM experts: it'll take your jobs, hack your shit and possibly make humans extinct!

      Datacenter build outs: use turbines for direct noise and air pollution... or use grid electricity and increase prices for everyone nearby.

      Every modern phone, laptop, computer in the world: more expensive thanks to datacenter buildout.

      Corporate strategy: lets try to monopolize LLM use!

      Public Elected Official: Not liking these outcomes makes you a traitor.
