Everyone gets to make their own choices. Some environmentalists use AI some eat meat, dairy and fish. They’re still environmentalists even if that’s not how they make every individual choice.

i don’t use ai for jack shite, but you sound like a hypocritical fuck if u eat beef or any other animal product, it’s destroying the earth at a crazy rate, but shit yea AI is the biggest problem 😭🙏

Eating meat, consumerism, fast fashion, lawns, driving all terrible for the planet, id rather everyone at least try to do sustainable things as opposed to laughing and putting each other down when politicians and billionaires pollute much more then us without giving a shit

(Disclaimer, asking this as a moral/ philosophical question, I do not engage): What about local AI hosted and run on a single, individual computer/ GPU? That would be entirely on your system's cooling loop, and the power you pay for, so is that considered ethical?

in today’s society (depending on the career) most employers require you have a general knowledge of AI or use it for their jobs. EXCESSIVE USAGE of AI and how data centers are managed is the problem not the tool itself.

My college claims to be a “sustainability school” yet I’ve seen a fair amount of AI posted by the school.
