Already the chemicals are thought to contaminate the blood of nearly every living person. Research links them to cancer, liver disease, kidney issues, high cholesterol and birth defects.

Despite alarm over the chemicals, which have been linked to cancer, a survey of the 10 biggest manufacturers found most had plans to increase production.

Many frame their investments around the “AI revolution”, because of the role Pfas play in semiconductor production and next-generation datacentre cooling systems.

But opponents warn that the chemicals, which never degrade in nature, are a ticking timebomb for human and planetary health.

It's funny that they call them "opponents" instead of "every health professional."

And the US Pfas producer Chemours was expanding to meet demand from “advanced datacenters and AI hardware”. It said its “innovative liquid cooling solutions” lower the energy, water, space, maintenance and investment costs of datacentres.

Critics have said Chemours – recently ordered to pay $450m to settle a lawsuit over Pfas discharges – downplays the chemicals’ toxicity and climate impact.

Chemours! you know, the 3M subsidiary that knew that Pfas was accumulating in peoples blood and causing cancer all the way back in the 70's, but they sat on their internal studies showing this and continued producing it anyway! They approved of using Pfas to line food containers all while knowing it would shed into humans and cause cancer! Neat!

Now they're planning on making even more because they want to get in on the AI bubble before it pops! Oh but all that Pfas will already be in our environment, destroying the planet by the time the bubble pops, and then it will remain in our environment and in our bodies forever! Neat! They're literally giving you cancer because it makes them money!

"Datacenters aren't that bad for the environment" meanwhile datacenters:

Actual Intelligence would dictate not poisoning the planet of one’s residence

Increase the production of guillotines.
