@JoBlakely @gerrymcgovern Ban this ban that. AI can be genuinely useful, it just needs to be uncensored and local without the large AI companies lobotomizing the llms from the beginning to prevent the general public from having a tool that is useful. AI shouldn't be banned, and since when is using electricity and water a bad thing? We should make electricity and clean drinking water cheaper and more accessible to lift people out of poverty.
@JoeBecomeTheSun
I don't like banning either. All energy has a cost of the environment, though. No such thing as green, clean or renewable. Creating electricity will nearly always pollute drinking water, so you're solving one problem while creating another. For example, electrical infra requires huge amount of mining, and mining does incredible long term damage to water table.
