    "It's just the corner of the fireworks store that's on fire, I don't see what you're concerned about"

    AI power growth is projected to grow exponentially for a service a lot of people view as morally reprehensible and actively harmful

    Spencer Weart identified the dangers of global warming in the 50s, we ignored the warnings and now people and entire species are dying. Excuse us for trying to prevent accelerating the problem

      We should stop watching 4k videos, it's killing the environment, it's worse than AI

      Why would gps nav require data centers?

      Also this is just water consumption not co2e emission

          So is AI useless and just a bubble that will pop, or will it explode exponentially?

          It can't be both.

          When talking about the environment people say it will explode and burn the planet, but in the same breath they will say it's useless and just a bubble

                        I never said useless. Mustard Gas is really useful, State Sponsored propaganda is useful. Usefulness does not equate to goodness as much as capitalist will try to convince you otherwise

                                it will grow exponentially until it pops and then will progress normally in a way that is actually useful. that is what the term "bubble" means in this context.

                                  And this is a lie altman is telling to get more money.

                                  It's not scaling. GPT-5 is making it more obvious, but the ML research community has known this for some time. Tech projected to take off (like bitnet and more sparse attention/inference schemes), on the other hand, will lower power usage enough for phone inference and such.

                                    Lol how is this a fair comparison? 10 mins of watching 4k vs 1 AI question does not seem equivalent at all. Like you could change the quantities and make the comparison look as bad as you want. Why not compare 1 min of 4k video vs asking AI 1,000 questions? Why not compare 1 hr of 4k video to 10 AI questions? When you're changing the variables around between comparisons like that then the comparison is worthless.

                                    Besides that, the environmentally damaging part of AI isn't asking it questions, it's training the models themselves. Training AI uses huge resource consuming supercomputers and can take days.

                                      I’m down with the anti-beef and anti-Bitcoin sentiment, I can even get into the anti-travel argument (we need high speed rail) but saying AI is less harmful than those? Please.

                                        the origin of the information is very relevant to the information, considering we are discussing the host of the information being the proverbial nazi bar. you're committing the fallacy fallacy.
