We need more effective LLM-crunching chips at least to shut up those crazy anti-“AI” activists who scream about water and energy while driving their asses to the market on car, buying washed carrots each packed in a polymer bag and do a billion other completely useless energy-consuming shit everyday.
We need more effective LLM-crunching chips
Stop. We literally don’t. Whereas, we actually do need water and energy and markets and carrots…
So don’t use LLMs. Just don’t. Problem solved! Leave the tool to those who need it.
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, computer chips, and now… 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.
