        Exactly. It’s all nonsense. But we need to single out this nonsense in particular and hate it. Because it has different potential outcomes…

          It’s not allnnonsense. LLMs are being used to “solve” small problems but pollute way more than normal datacenters, way more than you using your personal computer etc. You seem heavilly invested in denying any bad thing from LLMs …

            Because you conflate data centers with LLM.

            Data centers are bad. LLM are not.

                So you must think the opposite.

                LLM bad, data centers good?

                  Black and white thinking. Just like fascists (including tankies).

                  LLM bad, data center not inherently good. Humans could get rid of data centers if they get their shit together and distribute instead of just decentralize, similar to how they can establish anarchism the same way. BUT if the ideal were to be assumed impossible (because of course you would), data centers are good at a certain quantity. Peeing is fine, everyone does that. If you pee 8 times a day, go see a doctor.

                    Dont feed the troll. Read their post history and you’ll see they are either trolling or very delusional.

                    Uh huh… You just admitted you are the one with black & white thinking by saying LLM are bad. I assure you that the LLM that I use are not bad. They also don’t require a data center. They run locally on my laptop, with no more expenditure of energy than playing a video game. Unless video games are bad, too?

                    We have a difference of opinion because if anything is bad between the two concepts then it’s data centers, not LLMs.
