Cost of opportunity and diminishing returns.

It's stupid to optimise a 0.01% case when you can spend that time on a 25% case.



I don't eat meat for the last 10 years, don't own a car, and take cold showers. Can we talk about energy and resource efficiency of chatGPT now or you gonna gatekeep the conversation till I convince all of humanity to be vegan?


I'm gonna (mathematically speaking rightfully) consider the conversation an absolute waste of time and resources, until a significant portion of humanity does that, yes. Because you falling over dead and consuming 0 resources makes only reduce global resource consumption by 0.00000001%.


i'm vegan for a decade if that matters, i also opted for not having a driver license even lured to recieve a car when i turned 18. i'm also straight and i don't want children. the later (not having children) has a bigger impact than the first 2 together... should we be anti-natalists?

anyway your also missing the copyright violation and the whole other plethora of problems coming from generative AI. like bias and misiformation. water and electricity is just a tiny point of this great pile of shit. also this low % still uses USA coal power most of the times and drains water from nearby houses. i'm not a rat to dry-bath on talc powder because some greed entrepreneur wants their 6 figures in-check
