While I think that AI is bad, I don't think it's leaded-gas levels of bad. And usage of leaded-gas hurts everyone, even those who aren't eben using it. But AI is mostly bad in a recreational sense. I'd say that this comparison would be more apt if the ONLY way of running AI was through fossil fuel, but that isn't really the case.

It’s how it’s currently being done. Like sure they could use solar, but they’re not going to, because it’s faster and cheaper up front to power them with methane.

Like solar would be cheaper in the long run, but since when have these companies ever thought about the long term consequences of their actions.

They’ve made a lot of hay about starting up old nuclear plants or the like, but, in terms of numbers, it’s nearly all powered by methane turbines.
