We have a lot of suboptimal aspects of our society like animal farming , war, religion etc. and yet this is what breaks this person's brain? It's a bit weird.
I'm genuinely sympathetic to this feeling but AI fears are so overblown and seems to be purely American internet hysteria. We'll absolutely manage this technology especially now that it appears that LLMs are fundamentally limited and will never achieve any form of AGI and even agentic workflow is years away from now.
Some people are really overreacting and everyone's just enabling them.
"yet this is what breaks this person's brain?".
"AI fears are so overblown".
"some people are really overreacting".
Sure this little subset of the internet is aware that LLMs arent going to cut the mustard. But the general population isn't, and that's the problem. Companies are forcing LLMs on staff and customers alike. Someone suggesting that this is being managed appropriately and sustainably is either ill-informed, or intentionally misleading people.
Meh all of it is very unconvincing. The energy use is quite tiny relative to everything else and in general I dont think energy a problem we should be solving with usage reduction. We can have more than enough green energy if we want to.
facts tend to be unconvincing when you consider fantasies like "LLMs are being powered by green energy" a reality.
Why? Hiding datacenter energy use is much harder than anything else so it's much easier to regulate.
What? Humanity has been able to measure electricity usage since the 19th century. Why do you think we couldn't do it with tech based usage?
If I understand correctly, you are saying we can both confirm LLM datacenters are using green energy, despite there being no evidence of new green energy sources, and that we're unable to track what energy they use, despite humanities relatively long history of measuring electric usage.
Dont even know where to start educating you if you think we can just "measure electricity" like it's a single pipe under your sink

It's funny that you think you have the capacity to educate anyone when you're so blatantly misinformed.
Lmao the fact that you think all energy is metered electricity is just peak Dunning Kruger. Get blocked troll.
Ah so you think datacenters aren't metered. What an interesting existence you live in.
P.s: it's Krueger. Not kruger
