@jcsteh@aus.social I am involved in a lot of discussions on the resource use of "AI", and yes, we should keep an eye on that, but I often also come back to this point. The most maddening thing to me is probably both the money wasted and headspace preoccupied by this hype that could have been somewhere else instead. Obviously it is too easy of a story - it is not like magically everyone would have poured their energy into caring about planetary boundaries and injustices instead, but if even a tenth of what went into the AI hype would have gone towards that...
