    For all those that say ‘AI causes global warming’ - you’re correct, but unless you’ve got your own solar panels, so does your non-AI gaming rig. And your gas-driven car.

    so fucking what? stop trying unless you’re perfect? every bit helps! fuck you

      You’re vegan too, I presume, since animal agriculture is one of the largest contributors to global warming?

          Moron. Can’t tell the difference between a laptop and a data center.

        what do you expect people to do? go full kaczynski and live in a cabin in the woods? and if that’s not acceptable for the person, they might as well burn down the amazon cause that’s basically the same anyway?

        are you okay? are you having some mental issues? there are people that can help you.

        this extreme black/white thinking combined with a defeatist attitude can’t be healthy in the long term, for you or the rest of the planet

          No, that’s exactly what I’m trying to highlight. This person is criticizing others for using technology/electricity, while doing the exact same thing themselves. It’s hypocritical. There’s nothing that can be done until the system itself changes. Criticizing others does nothing but highlight the fact that you’re an idiot who is falling for the propaganda to keep people fighting amongst themselves, rather than targeting the system itself.

              No one is paying me for this job, and it’s doomed to fail. It’s like yelling into the void. Whether I do it at one decibel level or another, the outcome is identical.

        That only works if you ignore the difference in scale.

        My backyard campfire also adds CO2 to the atmosphere, but that doesn’t make the corporations any less responsible. They account for the supermajority of CO2 greenhouse gas emissions.

        A PC causes far less global warming than an AI datacenter. Like, it’s not even comparable.

              Exactly!

              (You missed that my reply was a copy/paste of the comment I was roasting, and you have just given me the answer I gave them, which lead to your responding to me. The circle is complete, ad nauseum.)
