Raindrops and RosesWhy don't the tech bros who want to pillage the world's energy for their ego-stroking AI bots just start up their own windmill farms or solar farms or whatever fkng clean energy farms so we can actually benefit from their egotistical billionaire making mania?
Log 🪵@raindrops_and_roses Because proof of work cryptocurrency and large model AI are implicitly designed to burn more power than we can generate, so the dirtiest fuels we have can be pulled out of mothballs and sold. The more we turn to clean renewables, the more uselessly power-inefficient the next project has to be to make the coal mining stocks profitable again.
