Not even going to pretend that AI investment will solve climate change then? Saying the quiet part out loud?

Speaking of former tech executives known for comically bad strategic decisions, Steve Ballmer was on the Daily Show recently and I was thought "this is the guy who said Linux was cancer and decided not to invest in mobile phones, can't take him seriously" but the guy seems to be doing some interesting stuff now, more interesting and less harmful than "AI" anyways. Has a site usafacts.com attempting to make hard data with reliable sources easily available for better political discussions. Seems better than some of these other billionaires with their "free speech" platforms and "alternative facts".
