Comparing Electricity And LLM Is Very Sensible

This is the guy who built up the Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake engines, btw. I knew he was a notorious techlib, but wasn't expecting this much.
I also hate Doom 3. Graphics are ass even for that day's standards, and gameplay feels more like a tech demo than a video game. Do whatever you want with it.
Protesting against power plants is also not uncommon and often warranted.
And yeah it's weird how Carmack gets put on a pillar. Sure he has made some important innovations in video games but he isn't unique in that.
For real, he's acting like it's a net good like a well-maintained solar facility when really it's more of a "We're going to build a coal plant and ruin the water table for generations" scenario
I'm pretty sure he defended coal plants for more electricity to juice up the internet connection or something.
He was lucky id Software had very capable people during that time. His coding skills couldn't save id from falling into obscurity between Quake and Doom '16.
