@siracusa all this is true.. and it doesn’t excuse anything about AI imo. Just because it was true for electricity, doesn’t mean we should just plow ahead with AI…

@siracusa I just wish we spend those energy gains on useful stuff, not making fake videos to mislead boomers

@siracusa but adding AI on top of our current energy needs is just irresponsible. At this point. Even without AI we are damaging the planet beyond repair. We are burning to planet to generate fake narratives.

Plus we didn’t steal everyone’s stuff to make electricity. And electricity doesn’t lie.

AI is a curiousity, not a necessity for a decent life like electricity is. You want to use it, but the whole ethical justification is flimsy. And AI is not inevitable

@siracusa i do not like the comparison with electricity etc i must say.. those provide huge benefits for everyone. AI uses so much power and stolen material to provide benefits for a relatively small group of the population. Electricity made us all beter and more equal, AI is making it worse.

@siracusa yeah sorry I took it out on your post after seeing OMG agent coding posts for the last 36 hours

@atpfm it’s just.. we just don’t think about the energy use, all the stuff that was stolen to make it, and how it’s used to mess up society even more. Just because ‘he it works for me’

@atpfm I know.. im sick and tired of AI everywhere and all the talk about it.. but I get it’s here to stay
