Data from big tech, large datacenters, and AI is somewhat endangered. Mining, production, and cooling use Denmarks worth of water in regards to offline and online technology. AI especially uses significantly more water than not AI, and the energy demand of AI is huge. Environmentalism, or the actual unsustainable disappearance of resources, may lead to bad consequences soon or in the next decade(s). Examples:
. Google deleting YouTube videos which barely get any interactions
. Archive.org more intensely deleting or offlining "hate speech" and "misinformation"
. Water wars - lobbying for privatized water as stated in this video "AI Will Wage Wars Over Water"
https://invidious.perennialte.ch/watch?v=F-6la_I-xkQ.. If you are Libertarian, you may think that private water is good, but they did that in some South/Middle American countries and I think it turned out poorly.
Reasonable solutions:
. Decentralization. If data is distributed and online (via P2P tech or otherwise), then that means that there is no individual entity who can completely delete it.
. Consumer friendliness. Right to repair, no planned obsolescence, etc. Maybe if big tech used more simple webpages (compare Invidious vs. YouTube.com) the that would use less client-side compute/resources.
Unreasonable solutions:
. "Banning AI cringe"
. Mining asteroids for resources
