And all the storage now that all the big players need to have local copies of the internet to train on?
All the power spent making all those hard drives? All the power it takes for Nvidia to make millions more GPUs than otherwise needed?
I agree that crypto and casual air travel are also wasteful and that there are plenty of other reasons to hate AI.
But it’s reasonable for someone to believe that recreational travel is beneficial in a way that AI isn’t. I could do without either, but there’s nothing hypocritical about thinking that two very different things have different cost/benefit calculus.
