I don’t think meat is unethical, nor do I think AI is unethical. Both serve a purpose (slop doesn’t serve a purpose but slop exists because we are doing ai research and expansion which very much serves a long term purpose). I’m just trying to put AI water and power use into perspective.

I have never once asked why something should exist. It’s the human will to make new cool things, and in 5y this model will train on your refrigerator, so you aren’t stopping it. These videos complain about the problems of exponentially increasing technology rather than look towards solutions, like anti capitalist organizing. Like, ok, this destroys copyright and IP: guess what copyright and IP is DUMB CAPITALIST NONSENSE. Let’s overthrow it. These people are complaining about companies selling access to these models under cost: that’s because this can never make a profit! If you don’t need labor, cost goes to 0. This will spur unemployment and harm, which will spur worker participation and class warfare.

And the environmental cost is still lower than meat.

To me all the complaining is the sweet voice of class consciousness.

AI finally bringing about worker unity is what I always hoped for. No segregation of labor if both physical and intellectual labor is threatened.

Back on track to what?

Wellll, all electrical power is ultimately vulnerable at delivery. The power grid is and always will be extremely vulnerable. If you wire up that field one way it’ll be resilient to random wire cutting, another way it won’t. Etc.

And then there’s silksong

I mean you shouldn’t work for them to begin with for a thousand moral reasons.
