So do coal-fired power plants. So does our endless production of plastic waste and our ever-growing landfills. So does all our fossil-fuel use. Where is it all

Where is it all taking us, friend? Most people are not honest enough with themself to understand the bigger picture, nor are they selfless enough to give a darn to sacrifice something of their own benefit to help the whole.
- stavros 2y agoYes, let's all kill ourselves and save resources!
- MrMcCall 2y agoYeah, having less data centers will cost lives; it won't be lack of drinking water or living in an overheated environment! My mistake is mistaking high karma for intelligence. Wrong again!
- soulofmischief 2y agoThis anti-compute crusade you're on is very strange. Data centers are not why the planet is burning up. Maybe you should be less patronizing of others' intelligence and do a little research of your own so that your arguments will be more rooted in fact and not feelings. ~1-3% of global energy consumption is a paltry price to pay for what digital technology can offer us. Do we waste a lot of it clicking ads and watching Netflix? Yeah, a lot of people do, and I take issue with that, not... data centers.
- erinaceousjones 2y ago...You know there's some options between "capitalism optimising for profit margins leads to unchecked consumption of resources" and "everyone has to die", right?
- stavros 2y agoYes, in the way that there are differences in pollution between using coal-fired plants and using LLMs.
