There would need to be sufficient market depth to pay someone to act.
If such a platform existed so many people would bet for “fire” that there wouldn’t be depth, but if you take a look around lemmy you can see some people hate AI so much they would do it anyways.
I assume you’re talking about Lemmings betting against fire because they want data centers to burn.
If there’s a lot of people betting, then why wouldn’t there be depth?
If the data center is causing measurable harm, then a victim losing the bet against fire is still a net gain. If you’re acting rationally, then you can afford to do it repeatedly — like insurance. But if people are just flushing their money down the toilet because they hate something and gain nothing from its loss, then they’ll go broke.
