AI power growth is projected to grow exponentially for a service a lot of people view as morally reprehensible and actively harmful

Spencer Weart identified the dangers of global warming in the 50s, we ignored the warnings and now people and entire species are dying. Excuse us for trying to prevent accelerating the problem

    And this is a lie altman is telling to get more money.

    It's not scaling. GPT-5 is making it more obvious, but the ML research community has known this for some time. Tech projected to take off (like bitnet and more sparse attention/inference schemes), on the other hand, will lower power usage enough for phone inference and such.

    So is AI useless and just a bubble that will pop, or will it explode exponentially?

    It can't be both.

    When talking about the environment people say it will explode and burn the planet, but in the same breath they will say it's useless and just a bubble
