people shouting that they care about the environment, while being silent on things like beef or flights etc. are being hypocrites
As others have said, most people that take issue with AI due to its negative impact on the environment will also take issues with those other things. Of course one might argue that to some extent pollution is acceptable for the purpose of producing food, while to a lesser extent for the purpose of powering magical text completion toys.
I've seen many people say AI IS BURNING THE PLANNET, when that is simply not true
How is it not true? You've agreed that it has a negative impact on the environment. It's not burning the planet on its own, but its contrubution to the burning is non-negligible and only expected to grow. According to all scientific findings, we have to reduce our carbon footprint, not increase it even further, to make the impact of climate change maybe somehow bearable. Therefore, everything contributing to an increase has to be scrutinised thoroughly as to the value it provides net its impact on pollution. Currently, that calculation results in a net negative value of "AI".
What's your point? "There are other things that pollute the environment even more, so this thing that pollutes the environment a bit less is totally fine"? I hope you understand why you're getting downvoted.
Tbh, I never cared about it much, mine isn't exactly a new account and I haven't experienced what you describe very often. I mostly use lemmy via the voyager app and here I can't even see what instance someone is on, unless I search for them specifically (or I'm too much of a noob and don't know how). So if some people want to base their judgment on that, whatever.
Money is not printed by the local government at all. Money is created by private banks through extending credit. And it shouldn't be controlled by the government either, that's a terrible idea.
Why should they make a deal if Israel would just continue attacking them? What kind of deal is that lol. Apart from the fact that no sane person would trust Trump or Netanyahu no matter what they promised.
That sounds like total bullshit, according to that logic anything could be declared a military target and therefore nothing would fall under the Geneva convention. I think you're talking out of your ass.
Work a crowd, as in talking barely comprehensible gibberish and hurling insults at people? So charismatic..
