| Exactly. When I change my engine oil, I just dump it into the street for the same reason - nobody is dying from my actions directly. |

| No one is dead because I launched a nuclear missile. That doesn't mean I _should_ be given access to a nuclear missile. |

| Temperatures during heat waves are exceeding 50°C in India, causing tens thousands of deaths. The AI built-out is by far the fastest growing energy consumer in the world, and they’re being built with fossil fuels, or drawing green energy demand away from replacing the fossil fuels depended on by other industries. |

| ▲ | 9x39 10 hours ago | parent [-] | | Your comment strongly implies AI is responsible for 50C temps. AI is at the top of an industrialization iceberg going back a century, with uneven countries as beneficiaries and externalities. |

Reduce your consumption. Stop driving, stop eating non-local food, stop buying things made off-shores or with supply chains that require global shipping. Move to a much poorer country (or just a poorer neighbourhood of your country) and live the way people there live. It seems like for much of Western world, Indians aren't really humans but a giant undifferentiated mass of temporarily animated bodies that are fit only as a canvas for one's own political paintwork. | | |
