As if this fucking matters all while the ai hype literally spins up power plants just to handle the energy usage
It's so so frustrating. AI is cool, I get it, LLMs are impressive, but we're in such a bubble right now. Every company is like "damn, that other company is doing a cool thing with AI, we need to make sure our shareholders think we're doing cool things with AI too!" So they make flashy AI things and it feeds back into the cycle because obviously other companies and their shareholders see it, because these companies are publicly traded.
