If your response to "an activity we all could easily just not do which is accelerating the death of our habitable planet" is "well there is a version of this where in theory it doesn't cook us so fast, I'm just not doing it" you might want to reconsider your actions

Is this about AI usage? Or is this about meat consumption?

Yes.

Friends, it has never been easier to be vegetarian. You could even go mostly vegetarian. Vegetarian food is everywhere and you don't even need to give up most of the flavors you love. This is very different than when I first became vegetarian approx a couple decades ago.

Friends, it has never been easier to not voluntarily use datacenter-hosted genAI. You can just... not!

@cwebber I really liked the concept of "vegan who eats [exception]". I don't need to be perfect. I just have to not eat animal products today. Just not make it central. And so on.

@laguiri @cwebber

We eat chicken turkey or fish at home, go out if we want a burger. Very rarely I'll get a steak salad or something. There's just no need to eat a lot of meat, especially red meat.
