What crypto wall? Isn't it back up?
I'd rather have all the AI and crypto than any streaming service or social media that everyone who complains about resources seems to use freely.
To me the crypto and AI is innovation which is where I want resources to go. The other crap is recreating things we already have just with extra waste and that goes ignored and makes me feel the outrage is fake or manufactured if the logic steps over a bunch of other things to focus on the new kid on the block.
I'm not saying that you're not. I am saying collectively these points about wasting resources is a bit much considering all the other wastes in relation to the anger those other things generate. It's not proportional. That isn't me saying people love it. But I am saying they do use a lot of other things that generate tremendous wastes in similar ways without care.
Im pretty confident it is manufactured. Manufactured in the same way the right despise LGQTB and immigrants. If you were too ask them if their hate was driven by other sources they say the same thing. Nobody is immune to it especially if we agree with thing. We all just go with it.
Doesn't change that we know fox news plays a big part of some people's opinions and views. Doesn't mean those people are not racist or bigots to begin with. But there's a stoking of the flames. Same here.
You don't find it weird that CNN frames it in an argument about greenhouse gas?
To me it's such an obvious appeal to certain groups. We're way past caring about wasting resources. We get rid of AI right now where are we left with? Nothing, nothing changes as far as wasting resources go. We don't fix anything removing it.
AI is practical and probably one of the most interesting developments with the potential to be a pretty big leveler if developed correctly.
But I think the problem is that because it can level playing field it's harmful to people who want to horde their power. So they have to use media to generate a lot of hate and angry towards it so we all reject it. Look at every AI headlines and replace AI with "immigrants" or "LGQTB" it's practically cut and paste. It's harassing women and children. It's taking our jobs. They're a waste of resources. They threaten your way of life.
