AI companies do not release any numbers themselves for carbon emissions. Therefore, companies that use AI cannot in any certainty claim to be carbon negative or neutral, because they have to count the supply chain emissions as well.
not adding AI does not stifle environmental goals, in fact you can only truthfully claim to strive for carbon goals if you do not use AI. After all, there is a reason that Microsoft abandoned their emission goals with AI as the cited reason first and foremost, which shows how incredibly dirty AI can be, even if no one releases any sensible metrics.
Let's see how wrong your explanation of LLMs is:
wrong:
-conversational: it only generates the most statistically likely text string to follow.
-povcet expert: LLMs have no expertise, it can only regurgitate text strings that are most likely, based on stealing the creative and scientific output of actual experts: humans
What isn't wrong is "real time responses", as long as LLM providers decide they provide that, because people using their shitty statistical parrot is costing them their bottom line.
Anyways, you read like a giant AI-Booster. Did your LLM-Mother write this for you? You can't do Werkimmanenzanalyse on technology! Death of the author cannot apply to actual, society affecting changes. But it's ok, I can just block you for your "Mein AI-Kampf" screed here.
principled technologists would of course say that the guillotine and beheadings are also technological inevitabilities, so why resist?
I think the difference here is, at least we can use the tech I mentioned defensively. However, using genAI and LLMs is always adding to Jensen Huangs bottom line only, and its a loss to everyone else. You don't happen to be a direct relative? Because otherwise you must feel really ridiculous to do free marketing for him
thanks for this reply to the post and the clarification!
The name of the website contains "longterm", possibly in reference to "longtermism", another framing of the effective altruism scam used to justify killing people today for some nebulous and flimsy "longterm minimising of deaths" because they assume their shitty text-predict machine will be a superior intelligence somehow.
Anyways, it's important to know their language to detect their bullshit quickly.
good username, but also props to you for the restraint in punishment.
