What's wrong with that? There are now materials that allow you to have solar panels on a window (so they are not opaque anymore), and we can put data centers under our feet.

In the current system technology is meant to serve the shareholders. That might end up serving us, if you believe the standard narrative. But maybe the shareholders will just carve out a few nature reserves for themselves and just wait for the rest of us to die off.

"we"? Are we all now billionaires who decide what gets built and who gets laid off?

None of "us" gets to decide this. Only the very wealthy get to decide.
