> Being anti-AI feels the same as being anti-war.

Ok.

This entire post seems to hang on climate change as the reason to be anti-LLM but nothing I've see seems to point at LLMs being any worse than literally anything else. It feels like the oil companies pushing recycling knowing that the individual effort of recycling does not begin to offset the damage done by corporations. This constant reframing as if it's the individual's responsibility (and fault) is tiring, verging on nauseating.

My use of of "AI" or lack of use will not influence anything. Period. To suggest otherwise is to ignore reality. It's the same silly arguments we hear about the USA/China "pausing" AI advancement, as if that's a thing that could actually be done.

I recycle and I'll gladly support bills/laws around forcing corporations to pay for their effects on the environment (even if that means higher costs for myself) but pretending we can stick our heads in the sand and ignore AI and that will have an effect? Pipedream. You are literally only shooting yourself in the foot.

Lastly, this reeks of the same thing as almost all "boycott" calls to action do, which is "This thing I don't like, let's boycott it!"... Ok, you understand it's easy to _not_ do something you _don't_ like right? That's not a boycott. That's just you living the same as always while feeling morally superior (trust me, I've been that person before). "FIFA is corrupt! I won't support them!", spoiler, I don't care for Soccer/Football so it really doesn't matter.

So why do you recycle? Based on your argument, you're just wasting your own time or "shooting yourself in the foot".
