I did, but please, enlighten me on the foolishness that you see here.
As I did write, I do agree that we as a species need to be more sustainable. But please give me one reason why wasting even more energy on AI is in any way shape or form benefitial.
I am not ‘allowed to be upset’? Lol, ok. Sounds like you see youself as some sort of moral police.
Call me a hypocrite if it makes you feel better but you are just skirting my point that the energy usage of AI is something that is unnecessary, just like the glowing LED lightbulb in your empty kitchen.
This makes you come across as either daft, or as someone who argues in bad faith.
You are still arguing a moot point.
Could and should we, in the western world, be more sustainable? Absolutely yes!
But do you think, that even MORE energy consumption for something as useless and flawed as current AI systems are is in any way justified?
Even if it is just a blip on the radar compared to energy that is used to survive, it is still more load that comes on top of current usage.
How much sense would it make to undertake efforts to reduce the energy that is used to live while at the same time using more energy to power data centers that mostly benefit some guys who bet on the usefullness of AI, even against common sense?
Sounds like you are the one being played.
Transport, food and heating are not required because they are fun or nice to have. They are means to survive.
Energy and water consumption of data centers are different because the product (AI slop and best guesses) is NOT required to survive.
Sorry for existing (not sorry)
It feels like brutalist architecture for fonts.
"Yessir, just say the word and we will crush the enemy! We will pulverise them, they will never stand a chance! We will… wait, did you say we have to go to them? Over bridges?! Naah, cannot do that, terribly sorry, sir.
All of them.
I might be weird, but in my opinion, there is not a single fruit that does not last longer or taste better when it is stored in the fridge.
Also keeps away those pesky fruit flies.
I think you need to blame your own education, as you cannot seem to have much reading comprehension.
Additionally, you seem hellbent on defending AI without even highlighting its uses, while loading blame on humanity as a whole.
Can our choices help reducing energy usage? And should we tackle those issues? Absolutely!
Is the additional energy usage of AI worth it? Absolutely not!
But I don’t have the time nor the crayons necessary to explain you the world, so let us part ways with the understanding that different people have different views on the topic.
