What would be a more appropriate situation for energy expenditure and "selective fire," in your opinion?

Dude, it costs a shit ton of money and doesn't make a profit! It will up and vanish once they give up on paying for the data centers!

Not with that attitude.

Yeah people should should just accept technology that steals drinking water, spikes utility bills, smogs the air, gives their kids asthma, creates 24/7 noise pollution, increases demand for fracking, employs no one, and destroys jobs. What is actually wrong with you e360.yale.edu/features/pen...

If it’s going to keep costing billions of dollars with zero efficiency gains to show for it and also spark massive public backlash each time it’s used, idk it might disappear

It doesn't, actually. Social wars are the opposite. You need to fight every little thing, constantly, and hold the line because the other side just wants to make it normal. It had to remain not normal. That's the only way this works.

Adobe Flash was killed off by its creator despite being used by TONS of people, big and small and was well-liked enough people created emulators to maintain things built for it. AI is a giant scam so poorly thought out the only investors are rich idiots whining we peasants don't pay for it.

ah well the technology is here better to not say anything about it ever, fuck off man

Yeah dude I was just about to solve world hunger but I decided to tell a CEO he's full of shit instead. That's a thing that just happened.

I’m conserving resources by not buying their shit and telling other people to not buy their shit it’s actually very smart

Maybe. But I remember when the Segway was going to completely up-end urban planning because cities would need to be redesigned to accomodate the transformative technology.

Right. The good old “You’re arguing about this because you have no life. But I am arguing about it because I need something to do in between getting laid and saving the whales”
