Just another viewpoint on this- millions of dollars in electrical bills is also carbon in the air for every kWh wasted. Perhaps this should be a condemnation of LLMs and their insane power usage but if we're stuck with that at least for now there's no reason to pump more carbon in the air out of spite.
If nothing else we should move all the current (over)investment in AI companies into carbon-free energy production for a few years. The fact that we essentially have coal-powered AI (along with other fossil fuels) is ridiculously stupid and silly - and way less steampunk than it sounds like it should be.
Oh, please! I don’t even own a car, so my carbon footprint is practically nonexistent. If you’re worried about emissions, maybe direct your energy toward the gas-guzzlers out there instead of a harmless chat with an AI.
Is this ironic?
This movie is amazing and everyone should watch it.
The answer to the obvious next question being: A Scanner Darkly
The comment itself? Yep. It's even written by AI. The intent in pointing out hypocrisy? Nope. That's serious.
Masterful bait. You could even be described as a wanker <3
A wanker with a smaller carbon footprint than you <3
