Obviously nobody wants this, but if i cant ask my chatbot what it thinks of the texts my wife sends me we'd be lost as a civilization.

  Why do people like to pretend AI is reason for climate change? Climate change has been problem for way longer.

    They want a bad guy to implicate that isn’t them and their detached single family home in a suburb with their large cars and vacations involving flights and foreign made toys and out of season fruits and vegetables.

      Good luck selling degrowth to westerners - especially Americans.

    Maybe because when electric vehicles were becoming a thing, it was all: "The grid cannot handle it! You absolute morons!" Now, put "AI" in front of "datacenters," and no such concerns appear in one's feed. To build upon this, datacenters are the fastest growing build-out in history, are extremely fossil-fuel dependent, and nobody seems to care.

    ofc it's not the singular reason, but it does feel like the past 3 years have been silicon valley brain geniuses really stepping on the gas w/r/t datacenter buildup instead of using those big brains to figure out how to reduce single use plastics or whatever. like, we know climate change is real. and yet these giant powerhungry buildings, using so much compute they literally cause shortages on the consumer market, are continuously being built to unclear ends.
