@evanEvan Prodromou We need to take seriously the moment we are in, when we can resist the proliferation of this system. On environmental grounds alone we can refuse to support this massively destructive technology.
- driving a gas powered car about 10km generates about 2kg CO2 equivalent.
- eating a single beef meal is about 9kg CO2 equivalent.
- Using an LLM for half an hour is about 0.005kg CO2 with a dirty coal electrical grid, much less with renewables.
Maybe we have other things we should be working on first.
