Yep. That's clearly what I'm saying./s

Now I can see why you thought that article was a rebuttal though.

    Your response to my comment mentioning that AI is contributionibg to climate change was to suggest it was equivalent to HVAC workers being afraid of heatpumps.

    If you think climate change is an impending global disaster, do you think building giant data centers that require extremely polluting on-site power generators is not a particularly bad idea, and should factor in heavily on how this technology is used or promoted?

    It seems like most users and advocates of LLMs find the idea of limiting its use to just locally hosted models to avoid the majority of the negative externalities to be unthinkable.

    Climate change is an issue, but this hardcore stance with no nuance isn't helping. The extreme strawman slippery slopes don't help, either.

    You've got a capitalism problem, not an AI one

    Data centers don't require any of those things. It absolutely can and should be regulated (or even existing laws enforced.) Irresponsible implementation is an issue, but if the only people with any familiarity with the technology don't care to do any of that? Do you think there is a world where this genie goes back into a bottle?

    AI is indisputably helpful in many situations. Most people who I know that use AI generally use local models and that can cover 95% of what people want or need to do with it. (You might have a bit of a blindspot there). But there is a place for the big models as well.
