Wake me up when “ai” makes the amount of CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere trend downward. Generative AI is just a way to burn electricity to take value produced by humans and then replace those same humans, all to line the pockets of the companies that can afford to churn all the data in the world.

For the handful of genuinely cool and interesting things it can do, the number of extremely awful costs and externalities is like 1000x worse.
