Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I like this idea esp.:

i want a product where the customer provides a random seed which generates the process of noise generation for their shirt.

Seems pretty doable in the age of printed t-shirt websites etc.

Or just, you know, more diversity in clothing. I bet surveillance ml gets a massive advantage from people's tendencies to stick to some sort of norm - aka fashion.

In any case none of this actively opposes the huge datacenters sucking up land, water and electricity first in the US, soon all over the planet ... and that's what saddens me. I don't know what to do about it either though.
