Mid-late 70s I was interested in EIRs, a new thing at the time, and thought we maybe need to assess things before they come to market for their environmental impacts.

It was not to be. In fact, our economy went full-on with creating more and more useless crap, bigger houses, bigger cars, a truly disposable products economy.

There are big problems, may as well add AI to the mix.
