Sprawling, unnecessary, wasteful buildings containing technologies seized from the public so that corporations can establish a monopoly on technology that should be freely available for everyone.
As far as I can tell, the data centers and that theft are mandatory for making the models to begin with. Everybody talks about ethical ones, but they don't use them because they suck too much.
Computer hardware, training algorithms, and data models are absolutely technology, regardless of whether they are stolen or not. If you believe some technology (read: AI data centers) exhibits inherent evil, that's great because I agree.
