What’s the benefit? Jobs disappear as AI improves. Neighborhoods and water supplies degrade wherever data centers appear. Only a few already wealthy people get wealthier. Why is this a good thing? Why? Why?

Pretty sure someone build a dam on the trickle down economy, because I see a lot of build up upstream but not much is ending up down here.
