This is not the article I was expecting, although it’s from the economist so I don’t know why I was surprised. This is a primer on how to resist the backlash against AI, including glibly dismissing concerns about environmental impact and costs.
There is a fundamental belief in the inevitability of the continued progress of AI among ‘the faithful’ that I find troubling. Looking at the deeply concerning economics of the AI market at present, the operating costs and supply shocks that will only drive those costs up, the bullishness around this is infuriating.
