    So sorry for criticizing AI for very serious problems that will affect me in my lifetime along with everyone I care about. What a piece of shit I am, please forgive me! AI is totally great and has no problems at all!

      AI only exacerbates an existing problem with tech; AI datacenters pollute and consume because datacenters pollute and consume

      a lot of things many people do online, including watching videos or playing online games, are super polluting. yet no one talks about this

      you don’t care about the environment, you care about AI

        Wildly presumptive and incorrect statement about me, but you are right about data centers.

        On that note, it’s worth pointing out that some fediverse instances are powered by renewables! It’s small compared to the Internet at large, but it’s a start.

      That’s not what the post is about? How do you know I don’t agree with you? This post is about people, not AI.
