If an industry that needed petroleum and F150s was a fraction as good with improvement every 5 decades, I don't think its environmental impact would be considered. | | |

Also I think environment and energy concerns about AI are overblown because of hype, like they are claiming they are building many times more data centers that are being built. A lot of the opposition to AI is based on critics being uncritical about numbers put out to justify the bubble, just like all the talk about danger similarly drives a false feeling of fomo-urgency. |
