I think a lot of times I see people talk about this stuff in relation to AI. It's right to talk about it, but I hate when people act like AI is the only tech that has these problems. What you see with AI now is a reflection of the broader tech and internet industry that has grown for the past 20-30 years.

Conclusions that are perhaps more productive: Currently the Internet, which many lives depend on, takes up a lot of resources, has a climate impact, and runs on exploited labor. We need to find out how we can avoid this (it’s certainly possible), and work together to achieve this.

Which is not to say we should be uncritical of the environmental impact of the AI industry (particularly when it comes to the environmental costs of *training* AI models), but like. It's weird and silly to act like individual AI users are having this disproportinately huge impact whenever they use their little touy when like. Their actions are about as environmentally damaging as anything else they could be spending their online time on, and if we're working from the premise that that level of environmental impact is unacceptable we kinda have no choice but to reckon with the fact that maybe we should all be using the internet a little less, you know?

DO YOU THINK THESE MOTHERFUCKERS DIDNT HAVE BOATS. THIS ENTIRE MOVIE IS ABOUT ONE OF THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS AND HIS BOAT
