In real world application, increased efficiency doesn't decrease energy usage nor decrease labor required to live. Tech has gotten more efficient since the industrial revolution, but demand for technology has increased exponentially, energy use is astronomical, and workers still work more hours.

... gotta admit this is quite a bit more sound than I anticipated

As for LLMs, people don't really like when others say they can't explore the applications of tech, even if it's unsustainable, so there'f bacaklash ofc

Always I see this kind of "mixed" good/bad points comments. Wonder what it is and where does it come from...

Now to get on track: The topic is simple ANY computer infrastructure CONSUMES a LOT of POWER so if you want to be easy on the PLANET RESOURCES we need to you use it WISELY

Here are some suggestions:

• stop people surveillange(aka gathering "advertising" data) and data hording from people devices like smartphones, routers, tv, smart anything like your fridge, ai assistant and other useless shit that only SPIES on you/us/me!

• stopping running companies servers that do nothing and are useless or created for scopes that are not meaningful or that provide a real use;

• stop creating and working for companies that do not promote/create technologies that support people and their long run sustainability...

...

I can continue with so many examples...
