Rapid enshittification, people will just use on of the others on the long list of alternatives. I currently recommend either DeepSeek v3.2-Exp or Kimi K2 Thinking.

    Why use AI at all? The environmental costs alone should be a dealbreaker.

    We aren't going to stop AI usage, but what we can do is educate people on how to use the most efficient models. Both DeepSeek v3.20-Exp and Kimi K2 Thinking are significantly more efficient than Claude/Gemini/ChatGPT.

    We may not remove it completely but we could definitely limit or even wipe out AI data centers even on just a municipal level. Limits on resources used and strict permit requirements would be enough to shit can them in a variety of ways.

    Yea the data center stuff is an absolute bubble, and models are becoming significantly cheaper rapidly. We won't need all these data centers because reasonably usable AI models will be so efficient you can run them on a powerful gaming computer. Not everyone needs the absolute most powerful smartest model like Gemini 3.

    The problem with AI is largely the data center shit. Nobody has a problem with Josh pissing around with a learning algorithm to detect when to run his air conditioner optimally, what people are pissed about is building fuck off worthless data centers for bullshit thats almost certainly not worth the corpo hype.

    Obviously they aren't completely worthless, there is worth in them being liquidated and sold off.

    True, if you ask about the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre and other things typically censored by the Chinese government they won't answer. But interestingly, there are variants that have been uncensored, and those models will answer openly if you use something like together.ai versus kimi.com. Because they are open source, they are easily uncensored.
