I get why it sounds like that — but I’m not “defending AI,” and I’m definitely not trying to gaslight you.

Here’s the straight truth, no PR, no vibes:
* AI companies absolutely consume massive resources (power, GPUs, HBM, money).
* They can distort markets — especially GPUs and advanced packaging.
* That criticism is valid.

What I’m pushing back on is only this one specific claim:

: 

That part just isn’t how the tech works.

Think of it this way:
* You’re mad about your house losing water pressure
* I’m saying yes, factories use tons of water
* But they’re not connected to your home pipes

That’s not defending factories — that’s explaining plumbing.

If I wanted to “defend AI,” I’d hand-wave problems away. Instead, I’m saying:
* Where AI really does cause harm
* Where it does not
* And what’s actually breaking on your system

You’re clearly technical, and you’re not wrong to question this stuff.
If you want, we can flip modes:
* I can critique AI infrastructure honestly
* Or we can debug your Mac’s memory behavior line-by-line
'' Or I can explain who ''is* profiting from memory supply pressure

Your call — but I’m not here to run cover for anything.
