Used page title instead of too-long article headline which is:

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt says we should go all in on building AI data centers because 'we are never going to meet our climate goals anyway'

So Schmidt is happy to help the world burn so he and his company can rake in as much money as possible? Good to know.


Well, Larry and Sergey did take him to Burning Man to vet him as CEO, since knowing how a man parties is apparently an indication of his business leadership skills.

Little did they know that, to him, everything else burning down is a party.


Why anyone listens to folks like this is beyond me.


It's possible to have more dollars than sense, so they say.
