Would companies do it ?

Or would they force it to avoid those kind of answers ?

I did the math (go look at my comment history) and AI total global energy use is projected to be around 0.4% of the total global energy use by 2030.

There is no way that shutting down AI is even part of the solution to climate change.

Edit: Why are people so resistant to Facts about AI? Nobody is saying I'm wrong, nobody is sharing an article with different calculations that show it's worse than that. The sheer emotion of Anti-AI sentiment has completely broken the ability for people to think critically or even allow other people to provide evidence at this point. It's not AI that's going to doom us, it's people refusing to even acknowledge reality that will be our downfall.

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.
