if you don’t wanna create emissions, just use solar power.

If you have access to solar power, it would be better to use it for something else, or feed it back into the grid.
As long as we’re still burning fossil fuels to create electricity anywhere on earth, wasting any kind of energy is bad.

Crypto has a price (because people believe that it has a price).
It doesn’t add any value to anything. It’s expensive (in terms of energy cost) and absolutely, 100% useless.

Counter-point:
crypto-mining should be illegal, period. (and so should AI)
We’re on the brink of climate collapse, we as a species can’t afford to waste massive amounts of electricity on something that literally creates no value.

tl/dr: “Yes it is, but not as much as other things so stop worrying.”

What a bullshit take.

I use its image search to study human anatomy.

the biggest carbon emitting companies, 57 account for 80% of emissions

It doesn’t say that 80% of emissions are caused by 57 companies. But by 57 entities.

One such entity is “China”. Another one is “The Former Soviet Union”.
Unsurprisingly, the actual privately owned companies that show up in the data (which cause about a quarter of emissions) are all energy, oil and gas producers.
Unfortunately, the climate problem doesn’t have a solution as easy as “stop a few rich CEOs from doing evil”.

It wasn’t because of phantom braking.
It was to cut costs.

They create a problem, then sell the solution.

I know several artists living off of selling their copyrighted work, and no one in the history of the Internet has ever watched a 55 minute YouTube video someone linked to support their argument.

This is just an ad.

Or saving on hosting is what caused the outage.

I used to have wood a lot more often, before microplastics.

That sounds like a 15th century printing press with extra steps.

Have they tried suing people who don’t want to buy one?

The AI score will be one column in a table of all applications.
If you decline, your application will be shown in the same table, just without the score.

The HR person will sort the table by AI score descending and call the first 5.

Doesn’t surprise me though, that most will jump ship to another Chinese spyware instead.
