Whataboutism at its finest 👌
The difference with other things causing climate change is that some of these other things are actually useful and work, which is not the case with ShitGPT.
And you can be mad at both simultaneously. You don’t have to decry LLMs only.

Regarding the alternatives to fossil fuels, they still aren’t free as far as emissions go. It’s still better to not need a new source of power if you can, because they require minerals, fossil fuels, etc. to build.
Also, an insane strain on the power grid makes the transition to greener sources of electricity more difficult because there’s a bigger demand to satisfy. That delays the transition.
If you don’t like how “this website” talks about your garbage tech, maybe you can fuck off back to Reddit with the rest of the douchebags who still believe crypto has a future?
