   @GossiTheDog Are you serious, does it verbatim say “or whatever”?

     @GossiTheDog The best/most alarming thing I've read was the response to the huge amount of power AI consumes: "It's OK, because AI will find us new forms of energy."

     Stop spreading misinformation.

     A ChatGPT query uses literally less information than the screen you use to view it.

     And training an LLM is a one-time cost. We've wasted electricity on way less useful stuff (like light bulbs? Why are they still a thing??)

     There are many things that are bad about LLMs (stolen training data, enables fake news, etc.), but climate impact is not one of them.

     @GossiTheDog The term cult is very apt. I’m on LinkedIn for work reasons and if you post anything even slightly critical of AI you’ll be bombarded with angry responses. Even jokes about AI get flooded with angry responses.
