WW3 due to oil shock and AI bubble pop?

War with Iran resulted in significant decrease of oil export and its soon to hit. Datacenters and AI labs have also used a significant portion of energy reserves without any significant benefits to society. I think we need to shut off all unnecessary energy usage until the economy stabilizes and we make peace with the global energy suppliers such as Russia, Iran, Venezuela, etc.

This war is no good to anyone. We need to focus on maximizing human comfort with optimal money usage. We need to direct our attention to farmers, right to repair, and to fusion reactors such as Stellarator wendelstein 7-x which is close to completion for commercial usage. We need to stop focusing on making money from things that don't have any benefit to society even if there is a lot of money in it.
