   @DarthAstrius @stux We cannot afford the energy use of AI. We cannot afford the energy use of the things we already use. Energy use has to go renewable *and* *also* drop off a cliff, not by 2050 but by yesterday. There are no doubt many very cool and very worthwhile tasks that AI could be put to, but it requires a gross underestimation of the scale and speed of energy use reduction we (especially we in the developed world) need to do to even consider them.

     I bitch a lot on AI and that mainly is because I dislike generative AI that's been thrown out into the public like a massive alpha test and some people are using AI to generate more AI content to flood everything

     But AI can certainly be used in a LOT of cases where it can be of huge benefit, tasks, calculations or simulations that are just too hard or complicated for the human mind

     So yeah, my relationship with AI is uh.. "difficult"
