    The training for the models still requires massive data centers, ai has caused data center power usage to double in the last five years, and wasting power on stealing art is still wasting power even if you reduce it down to just running a local model on your gaming pc, which is a tiny fraction of users.

    The personal impact is the artist that does not want their art used this way. In this case the artist has made it incredibly clear that ai is a cancer on society and an affront to human life. I think that would affect a normal person that has any shame or empathy.

    You’re really over estimating agriculture as a technology tree. It takes pretty much no thought to notice that the trash pile tends to grow the things you put in the trash pile, and from there it’s experimentation on what in the trash pile of food makes more food (realistically medicinal herbs) grow.

    Agriculture was developed at least a few thousand years before stationary settlement.


  • …you understand how tiny of an industry that is compared to nearly anything else china exports, right?

    And the entire world is going towards evs, even developing countries since generators are more efficient over time than dealing with all the parts of a ice vehicle.

    Some businesses might go under if they somehow can’t pivot their floors to produce something more profitable, but the entire ‘problem’ western firms have when competing with china is that they’re set up to easily pivot and expand production to different items.
