It is quite concerning, but I feel like those issues have a solution, if the tech moves out of those greedy bastards hands.

They just want to scale as fast as possible without any concerns for communities, energy, or water. That’s because they are running a completely unsustainable business and they need to spread quickly, to make more people depend on the tech, as provided by them, so that eventually they get government backing and become comparable to energy, as they have said before.

But it’s a fucking scam. We could run AI locally with less resources per area, so by distributing it the impact would be negligible compared to what massive data centers bring. I would actually love to see some numbers on this, but the ones funding it are the ones interested in building the data centers, and they have the government reach to keep them from doing a fair study as well.

The issue with AI is not the tech itself, but the people controlling it, so I definitely agree with you!

I understand, but now I am the one protecting my mental health. I won’t be a proxy anymore. Instead I’ll take out my popcorn and watch the collapse.

I spent months speaking up against this, and I learned something sad: nobody cares. So now the way I think about it is that apathy leads to its own punishment. It’s depressing.

Always tired all the time. It’s a mystery how I can get up in the morning. So everything.
