We’re building AI that is different. It answers to the planet, not Big Tech. And it’s now more European – which means more independent, and more private.

Sustainable technological societies do NOT use more and more electricity, until such time as they have ensured that the externalized environmental costs of the energy providing that electricity have been adequately addressed. Posing our mostly fossil-fuelled “technological society” as if it is the only available choice besides the stone age is ignorant at best and disingenuous at worst.
I don’t necessarily disagree with your first point. Just that current human nature is short-term and selfish. Humans have never acted in a rational forward-looking way. I feel humans need to change in a foundational way before we see any kind of sustainable society.
And I don’t think I claimed the second. Again, just the way things are. Can we abolish capitalism and private ownership and personal autonomy to establish a new global society based on universal respect of all living beings? Sure. Will we? Not until we become something other than what we now consider “human”.
Personally, I think we are hopelessly doomed in the long run. But I have hope that I’m wrong.
