Literally every good person I know who is working in tech actually wants to be doing something else like gardening or carpentry, says a lot about how much we've all fucked up this industry

Several people I respect recently made similar observations to the effect that there is the security community, and then there's the security industry, which are frequently two VERY different things with somewhat misaligned goals and incentives. Seems like there's a lot of truth to explore there.
From my various provocations on LinkedIn the past six months, it's become clear the latter is largely content to sit quietly or even cheer as this administration makes a public mockery of everything their industry claims to stand for. I suspect this may have something to do with tons of security firms suddenly recasting themselves as AI-focused companies.
Am I way off base or too idealistic or simplistic here, or just jaded? I've been trying to identify the real source of my malaise over attending security industry events over the past few months, and I think this dynamic is a big part of it.

Google's emissions are up over 50%, Amazon builds huge data centers powered by 75% natural gas.
Remember all those posts telling us that "AIs climate impact isn't that bad" supported by some really funky math/perspective and/or numbers Sam Altman invented?
Here's the actual impact.
"AI" is a fossil fuel technology.

Even if you have never been through trauma in your life, chances are high you know or live with someone who has. I just finished - The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma - by Bessel van der Kolk. It made some profound changes in how I frame my and my loved one's mental well being. It might also help guide or inform those dealing with trauma. Just felt it needed a mention.

This is the first year we seeded yarrow. This stuff is awesome! My only exposure to it was Red Dead Redemption 2 to make cowboy medicine. Now we'll have it every year.

This week's boquet, picked right before a thunderstorm, is Oops All Yarrow. It reminds us of tropical fruit Skittles.
