Then again, there is another obvious solution to this manufactured problem: AI companies could simply stop trying to create bigger and better models, given that aside from the training data shortage, they also use tons of electricity and expensive computing chips that require the mining of rare-earth minerals.

It's always been a boondoggle...

But there has to be something investors don't understand that they'll dump billions into.

Might as well stop producing new GPUs entirely, video games, video editing, shit basically anything done of a computer outside is a waste of electricity and rare earth minerals.

We don’t even need search engines, let’s go back to libraries and paper books!

As long as it’s not housing or food, we don’t need it. Let’s go full fucking anprim because anything else isn’t required to survive and is a waste of resources.

In your sarcastic drivel, you were correct.

We should stop wasting electricity for recreation. We should stop mining rare earth metals.

Okay, you go live in the cave first.

Much like every other human alive, I'm a hypocrite.
