A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Outrage for other people's environmental effects because they're "forcing it down your throat" but not your own because you're doing it willingly? Yeah, that sounds super morally impeccable!
I never said i was outraged or not. But at least when i game and being morally deplorable, I've actively chosen to do so with intent. That's still way better than them deciding for me to waste the energy when i don't even use the result. If you don't see the difference there isn't much to talk about here.
Youi're right that there isn't much point in this conversation, but completely wrong about the reason. I'm saying if people are upset about the amount of power AI is using they should be at least 1/3 as upset about the power gaming uses. You're saying the bigger issue is AI doing something on your behalf without asking. I don't even know how to address an issue-dodging mentality like that. Oh well.
