“‘AI’ is being used as a magic word that is code for less worker power, hoarding of more resources, and making an uninformed gamble on high energy demand computer chips magically saving us from climate change."

“‘AI’ is being used as a magic word that is code for less worker power, hoarding of more resources, and making an uninformed gamble on high energy demand computer chips magically saving us from climate change."
29.11.2025 01:24 — 👍 49 🔁 22 💬 0 📌 2In the words of an AWS software engineer, "When the AI bubble pops, Amazon will have taken a huge amount of land, water, and wealth, and the public needs to know."
28.11.2025 16:45 — 👍 73 🔁 39 💬 2 📌 0"We can’t rely on our management chain for sound or data-driven decisions anymore. They’re making us use AI even when it doesn’t make sense...When the AI bubble pops, Amazon will have taken over a huge amount of land, water, and wealth...the public needs to know."
26.11.2025 19:14 — 👍 7 🔁 3 💬 1 📌 0...“The company has been shutting down ways for people to talk openly and critically about AI, which is dangerous, and that’s why this letter is important. Amazon used to be a genuinely innovative place, but leadership’s AI push has meant arbitrary quotas and benchmarks that make worse products.”
26.11.2025 19:14 — 👍 6 🔁 2 💬 2 📌 0The letter has 3 demands:
1. No AI with dirty energy;
2. No AI without employee input;
3. No AI for violence, surveillance, or mass deportation.
“The letter asks for the kind of future I want to work on, and that Amazon claims to value,” says an anonymous senior software engineer.
They continue..
“It’s not just about what will happen if they succeed in developing superintelligence,” says a decade-long veteran in Amazon’s entertainment business. “What we’re trying to say is, look, the costs we’re paying now aren’t worth it. We are in the few remaining years to avoid catastrophic warming.”

We thought this was a company we could feel proud of, but I use AI every day & its functionality in no way justifies adding this massive, unregulated layer of fossil fuel powered infrastructure. We had to try to do something.”

“Rather than enriching these communities, data centers are extracting resources…I’ve seen managers push AI on employees without regard to the environmental consequences…one colleague of mine got her layoff notice at 2am, as she was working late…
A new state-by-state evaluation of the projected energy and water use of "AI" data centers in the US. Looks… real bad. Like, "undoing tech sector climate gains" bad.
Strongly recommends immediately ensuring any & all new "AI" data centers to run on existing & expanded renewables grids. Which… yeah.
