For all those that say 'AI causes global warming' - you're correct, but unless you've got your own solar panels, so does your non-AI gaming rig. And your gas-driven car.

so fucking what? stop trying unless you're perfect? every bit helps! fuck you

    That only works if you ignore the difference in scale.

    My backyard campfire also adds CO2 to the atmosphere, but that doesn't make the corporations any less responsible. They account for the supermajority of CO2 greenhouse gas emissions.

    Every little bit helps, sure. But maybe it's just me, wondering why you're getting so upset at the small contributors on some random Internet forum.

    From the outside, you look like you just want to find things to be upset at.

    In my experience, you find what you go looking for.

    You seem to miss that I just copied and pasted the comment that I was originally replying to. I was highlighting the hypocrisy, and your comment actually applies to the author of the text I copied and pasted. In effect, you have crafted my response for me. Thank you.

    Thanks. Fuck you specifically, too!

    Now get off the Internet, you're harming the environment with your electricity usage.

    what do you expect people to do? go full kaczynski and live in a cabin in the woods? and if that's not acceptable for the person, they might as well burn down the amazon cause that's basically the same anyway?

    are you okay? are you having some mental issues? there are people that can help you.

    this extreme black/white thinking combined with a defeatist attitude can't be healthy in the long term, for you or the rest of the planet

    No, that's exactly what I'm trying to highlight. This person is criticizing others for using technology/electricity, while doing the exact same thing themselves. It's hypocritical. There's nothing that can be done until the system itself changes. Criticizing others does nothing but highlight the fact that you're an idiot who is falling for the propaganda to keep people fighting amongst themselves, rather than targeting the system itself.

    A PC causes far less global warming than an AI datacenter. Like, it's not even comparable.

    well I skimmed specifically for lca study combinations, and found them quickly. that invalidates all the data. if I read further, who knows what else i might find

    if you had read this study, and understood the underlying science, the fact that I skimmed it would not interfere with your abilitiy to defend it.

    you haven't explained why you think combining disparately methodized lca studies produces good data.

    the LCA studies themselves are disparately mthodized. they can't be combined at all.

    xu didn't conduct any LCA studies at all. they combined multiple LCA studies

    LCA studies are custom built for each product comparison. by combining multiple LCA studies that have desperate methodology, they have muddied the results. none of this is reliable. it's not good science.

    maybe you should try understanding the underlying science

    so you say, but i had to explain the issue with the LCA data to you, so i don't believe you.

    yeah. using somebody else's LCA methodology doesn't make their methodology any good.

    you have yet to articulate how it is bad.
