Larry Garfield@timbray I somewhat agree with your conclusions in part 3 (can't find that post now), but I don't get how you think coding is exempt from responsibility for the environmental impact. Maybe I can see the sweatshop argument, but aren't these big AIs trained on more than just code? They need a grasp of English, at least.
Whole industries are trying to retool to fix a 4% of total CO2 output. Coding bots don't get a free pass.
