Our Reading
“The announcement sounds ambitious.”
Al Gore, once a climate crusader, now worries about AI’s future more than its current emissions.
He’s not sweating the data centers, but the AI industry’s own warnings.
This is the same guy who once called climate change a “planetary emergency.”
Now he’s more concerned about AI’s “trajectory.”
Original observation: AI’s future is the new climate crisis.
