@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.
