@sun @fristi I sometimes do wonder what makes the environmental impact of AI so much worse in people's minds than computer games, which heavily use GPUs as well. Computer games aren't essential to live, and insane graphics aren't necessary at all to be able to enjoy games. Unreal Engine is famously an absolute waste of performance. Why aren't we outraged about this?

@volpeon @fristi tbh I don't know how to reason about it because potentially, anyhting that uses a bunch of power can be criticized. but at the same time we fully permit total wastes of electricity like amusement parks or whatever so clearly we know there's some kind of exception for fun but I don't know where the line is
