    Are you… going out of your way to be obstinate? Or are you just selfish? Our (society’s) resource availability affects all of us. It’s not “problem solved” if I choose not to use LLMs. Either way, our water, power, and land going to datacenters absolutely still impacts the rest of us, so yeah; we’re allowed an opinion. Not too mention the skyrocketing cost and scarcity of RAM, SSDs, GPUs, computer chips, and more… But don’t worry, I’ll still hire you to pick carrots when the AI bubble bursts and all of this goes away!

      Listen, the problem is not in LLMs per se. And you know that perfectly well. The problem is that too many people use energy-consuming technology without any reason. Like kids running the steam engine for heats and puffs. Fight “kids”, not steam engines. LLMs is important stage (as steam engines were at some point) of technology development. We can’t skip it. It is impossible.
