Then why are you guys avoiding a logical discussion around environmental impact instead of spouting misinformation?
The fact of the matter is eating a single steak or lb of ground beef will eclipse all most peoples AI usage. Obviously most can’t escape driving, but for those of us in cities biking will far eclipse your environmental impact than not using AI.
Serving AI models aren’t even as bad as watching Netflix, this counterculture to AI is largely misdirected anger that thrown towards unregulated capitalism. Unregulated data centers. Unregulated growth.
Training is bad but training is a small piece of the puzzle that happens infrequently, and again circles back to the unregulated problem.

My employer is pushing AI usage, if the work is done the work is done. This is the reality we’re supposed to be living in with AI, just conforming to the current predatory system because “AI bad” actively harms more than it helps.

A good chunk of the Internet usage is HD videos which is far more power hungry than AI. I agree it’s added on top…just like streaming did in 2010, and as things will continue to do.

Would love an explanation on how I’m in the wrong on reducing my work week from 40 hours to 15 using AI.
Existing in predatory capitalistic system and putting the blame on those who utilize available tools to reduce the predatory nature of our system is insane.

This echo chamber isn’t ready for this logical discussion yet unfortunately lol
- Comment on Lemmy be like 1 week ago:
This is valid to all data centers serving all websites. Your take is a criticism of unregulated capitalism, not AI.
Beef farming is a far far far more impactful discussion, yet here we are.

Far less surprised by this one than any other coach firing this year, as Budenholzer having 40 locked up for doing absolutely nothing is so insane though.

Their GM has also been fired apparently

As someone who always plays on shitty unmaintained rec center courts I’d give anything for some development of a good cheap court material other than wood.
This ain’t it tho 😭😭

I was just reading an article about how candy companies are trying to make GLP-1 (Ozempic) resistant candy that is effectively hyper-addicting and restarts the cycle of addiction.
Incredible how bad capitalism is for society and it’s affect on food processes in order to drive needless profits.

- Comment on Jimmy Butler Traded to Warriors; Heat Get Andrew Wiggins, Schröder, More 6 months ago:
I really can’t see a world where Jimmy Butler is contributing as much as Andrew Wiggins and Dennis Schroeder offensively unless he’s dropping 40 every night. You’d really need Steph Jimmy and Kuminga to drop 30-40 every night to make this work which has almost never worked with recent all-star teams minus Luka & Kyrie.
They already had really poor spacing, now you pretty much only have Steph who can consistently shoot 3s. Moses moody has been showing a lot of great shooting recently but will it stay? And how will it be in the playoffs.
- Comment on Electoral politics doesn't get the job done 6 months ago:
Having conversations around how ineffective voting is, is not equivalent to discouraging voting.
- Comment on It really is like this 6 months ago:
Pointing out Americans system of live free or dying to avert censorship while also repeating US propaganda about China is hilariously ironic
What happens to the land/house you own if you don’t pay property tax in the US? Chinas 70 year lease is effectively a more solidified ownership than the US.
- Comment on It really is like this 6 months ago:
China has way too many people and there is more competition for jobs.
Is this only for well paying jobs like software engineering or is this also true for shittier service/factory style jobs?
- Comment on It really is like this 6 months ago:
Why would you even reply to begin with if you’re only going to derail the conversation with no pertinent information and not discuss the topic at hand?
- Comment on It really is like this 6 months ago:
Because this exact statement can also be applied to the US? Which to be frank I’m all for talking about, the US probably has the most enemies in the world. But regardless this discussion is intended to be about the government impacts on their citizens.
- Comment on It really is like this 6 months ago:
Why does every discussion around China devolve into this as if the US doesn’t also do this?
Instead let’s discuss how average Chinese citizen in Shanghai is doing compared to the average citizen in San Francisco and have a real discussion between the two countries.
