Feeling guilty about investing in tech

#

I’m new to investing. I’ve invested in an ETF and started looking at stocks.

I’m feeling guilty about investing into semi conductors and the like, thinking of how people in other countries have to deal with mining the metals and dying/getting ill while living in poverty, how data centers are effecting people’s living environments and how much water they use up, how AI is causing job losses. Meanwhile we are funding that? Is that how it works?

At the same time I want to retire as soon as possible. But also don’t want to indirectly add to others’ suffering. Would I be doing that if I invest into these companies?
