You should stop taking those breaths, it’s making you write nonsense attempted justifications for the destruction of the working class and biosphere by billionaires.

The industrial revolution made the same justifications. Not sure the environment is better off because of it, but humanity in the long term is far better off because of it. Will 'AI' be the same? Who knows. We all seem to think technology has made our lives better, so I assume to some degree, yes.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again.

I am completely against building data centers for AI usage. I would prefer those data centers disappear right along with AI, LLMs, and everything having to do with them, as long as our environment stays intact.

I don't actually care about AI, the companies that make it, or how much money they potentially make or don't make.

My point, once again, is that the joke has run its course. That's simply not how the technology works.

You, on the other hand, are an ignorant simpleton barely able to hobble together a sentence, instead of actually addressing what I was saying.
