even if the impact isn’t as great as people make it out the environmental racism and driving up electricity costs while people freeze to death is good enough for me

protip: your device has a handy function also known as "web search". using this innovative tool, you too can search for news articles on topics.

provided you're literate enough to parse them but don't worry. there is always remedial adult education!

you're thinking of crypto

you use as much power and water generating ai prompts for 15 minutes as you do playing skyrim for 15 minutes, it's literally just a computer program

of all the good reasons to object to ai you got bitchy and snotty about the dumbest one

no we're not

AI also requires enormous data centers that are sucking up water and driving ppl out of their homes. your single search is cumulative with everyone else's millions of searches.

it sounds like a party line but it isn't. this is genuinely the thing that changed a lot of people's minds about LLMs here

if people had approached this issue rationally from the start without coming in hot like a bunch of unhinged tinfoil hat wearing lunatics, people might have been more inclined to consider their points seriously.

has anyone fact checked any of these articles? or are they just assuming the science is accurate and the sources are legit and have no personal interest in swaying public opinion on AI for their personal benefit?

Re: DA

(Anonymous) 2025-06-12 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
yeah their "personal benefit" like having water to drink that hasn't been sucked up to cool a google server farm somewhere in the arizona desert

why would you assume the people pushing AI down everyone's throat to squeeze every cent out of it before the bubble pops aren't the ones bullshitting you?

if people linking you to articles makes them come across as 'unhinged tinfoil wearing lunatics' you might just be too far gone to capitalism tbqh

first you complained about tumblr, saying people there sounded like conspiracy theorists

fine

then you get linked to the harvard business review, a peer-reviewed publication, and food and water watch, a non-government organization with boots on the ground fighting for food sustainability, clean water and against climate change, and you're whining it needs to be 'fact checked'

fact one: everything is biased dummy

fact two: you're just a cunt moving the goal posts
