Spoke to the Guardian about the idea of quitting LLMs for climate: -“I see this all as very much part of the tactic of trying to embed these systems into society and instil dependency in a fashion similar to the growth of single-use plastics in the 1970s.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

@ketanjoshi.co I understood all arguments, but I don't understand why it slows energy transition - renewable energy is the cheapest form of energy, so wouldn't data-centers try to consume this and therefore increase energy transition?

@jcast @ketanjoshi.co No, implementing a decentralized and democratized energy creation and consumption. We can all try to use less energy (which structurally will keep oligopolies as they are) or we focus on changing the system to something different. I would prefer the latter.
