Running AI isn't free, and AI calculations pollute like a motherfucker

This isn't me saying you're wrong on an ethical or judicial standpoint, because on those I agree. It's just that, on a practical level considerations have to be made.

For me, those considerations alone (and a ton of other considerations such as digital slavery, child porn etc) make me just want to pull the plug already.

AI was fun. It's a dumb idea for dumb buzzword spewing silicon valley ghouls. Pull the plug and be done with it.

The thing is that those models aren't even open source, if it was then you could argue that openai's business model is renting processing power. Except they're not so their business model is effectively selling models trained on copyrighted data
