Listen, I didn't say you can't ever eat meat. Just eat a single patty hamburger instead of a double. It's not less food variety, it's called not gorging yourself on things that are bad for your heart health.
Dude I barely eat half the time, regardless it's a piss poor trade given how AI is quite literally worthless to me. It could disappear tomorrow and I wouldn't notice if no one talked about it at least for the shit that these data centers are for. For all the resources dumped into this dumbfuck AI race we could've done damned near anything else and have gotten more value for it with a fraction of the economic and environmental cost, even a bridge to nowhere has better utility.
So how's bout we go down the have no AI and do literally anything else bargain.
It's useless to you, but not to other people. Libraries are useless to me because I pirate books, but I'm not going to say it's a waste
Where do you think the pirated books come from?
Usually library copies
Usually the new releases are from people who personally bought them, not people who wait for them to be put in a library.
Last few physical books I read I just bought because they were rare
Oh I forgotten y'all are Americans, where your libraries have to wait for books instead of getting a copy pretty much immediately
