Everyone gets to make their own choices. Some environmentalists use AI some eat meat, dairy and fish. They’re still environmentalists even if that’s not how they make every individual choice.

Eating meat, consumerism, fast fashion, lawns, driving all terrible for the planet, id rather everyone at least try to do sustainable things as opposed to laughing and putting each other down when politicians and billionaires pollute much more then us without giving a shit

(Disclaimer, asking this as a moral/ philosophical question, I do not engage): What about local AI hosted and run on a single, individual computer/ GPU? That would be entirely on your system's cooling loop, and the power you pay for, so is that considered ethical?

in today’s society (depending on the career) most employers require you have a general knowledge of AI or use it for their jobs. EXCESSIVE USAGE of AI and how data centers are managed is the problem not the tool itself.

My college claims to be a “sustainability school” yet I’ve seen a fair amount of AI posted by the school.

Yeah. The problem is that even “low end” AI models still take a bunch of horsepower. High end gaming PCs would still struggle to run them.

point is you CAN be an environmentalist and use AI if you’re aware of the implications and use it only when needed

This is just objectively not true. Like yeah if you’re using ai for everything ur going to need a high end pc but I have like a shitty local model for offline use in case I lose internet but keep electricity that I can run on my laptop.

I am in full support of regulating all of these industries. What they’re getting away with is disgusting.

Not all of them and even the ones that do still need to intake some water to keep up with losses. Also there’s a whole litany of other environmental issues around the construction and maintenance of those things besides just water concerns

The post was about environmentalists and people who still eat meat arguably create way more suffering and environmental harm than someone who doesn’t eat meat and uses ai a bunch.

Using a program to remove the background from an image ain’t the same as supporting that atrocious material. I hope you know that.

This is correct. As long as you understand what a given model requires from your computer, there is a way to do it on most modern computers. I too use a shitty local model and it works shockingly well. I agree with ethical concerns about ai, but there’s nothing stopping an unincorporated implementation

closed loop coolers are so much worse for power grid strain… and they radiate so much more heat to the surrounding area. not saying they’re worse, but they are NOT better!
