Why are there many complains about AI power usage but almost none about the resources being wasted by the war/arms industry? (mander.xyz)

What's confusing to me is why the power energy negative is being used only to attack AI

[–] warm@kbin.earth 8 points 1 day ago

It's not? Power draw and efficiency has always been used as a major negative to a lot of things, it's why we have more power efficient devices now.

AI is consuming this power for what exactly? It's entirely pointless, only there to enable a circular economy among mega-corporations.

It's also entirely irrelevant if something is a negative to one thing and not another. When talking drawbacks for something, there isn't a list you have to pick from, they are going to be specific to it.
