Climate was only cool while you could buy fake carbon credits to make up lies about responsible computing at scale. Now we save the world with AI once again. Next year, compute on mars, true planetary scale! Cloud? We’re doing Starsystem now!

You forgot quantum! We’re developing super duper plants that suck the carbon out of the atmosphere harder than a crack whore and make everything great for everyone (with money)!!!

Carbon credits weren’t, and are not fake

That sounds valid. I was thinking about the fact that most carbon credits are generated from deforestation reduction projects that renew yearly.
