I may very well be wrong, but wasn't part of Rome's fall attributed to overextending its military and reneging on social safety net promises to the veterans and also neglecting social programs within the existing empire?
When Rome fell, life continued as normal, everything functioned, however, life slowly degraded, got harder, people disassociated, communities became hollow, crime and homicide exploded, and all services collapsed. Rome didn’t fall from decadence it fell to inaction; it became a nationless state.

It's especially important to realize that at a time of water shortages contributing to the wildfires in LA, AI uses an absurd amount of water to keep its datacenters cool.
“In order to shoot off one email per week for a year, ChatGPT would use up 27 liters of water, or about one-and-a-half jugs… that means if one in 10 U.S. residents—16 million people—asked ChatGPT to write an email a week, it’d cost more than 435 million liters of water.”
AI doesn’t just require tons of electric power. It also guzzles enormous sums of water.

Killing resources and undervaluing the power of labor. I feel like this is a recurring theme in capitalism, especially on the edge of a technology evolution. The Industrial Revolution wasn't overnight and neither is whatever this will be called.
But it's like poetry, it rhymes

Climate change is a huge problem and everyone should do what they can but I strongly believe blaming individuals instead of corporations is a corporate tactic to obscure the key causes, create personal guilt, and discourage people from organizing for real progress.

So I got in a thing in the mail from the actual CDC asking me to participate in a survey about our family and even tho I could get $60, (not guaranteed, but desperately useful) I feel like if I participate I'm pointing a gun at my own family's head because they'll know where to find us now...
Most of us knew this was coming, and wow, here we go. Happy fucking new year. Can't wait to hear why my partner and I peacefully existing and minding our own fucking business is an affront to God, small children, and society.

Hot take:
Everyone should work 6 months in a restaurant and six months in a high acuity medical setting and that would fix us as a society.
