    No, I expect people to rent a truck/trailer for the few times a year they need to actually haul things, and own a more sensible daily driver for the other 360 days a year.

    Obviously this doesn’t apply to people that own trucks and haul things on very regular basis, but those people are the vast, vast minority of people who own trucks.

    No shit people are utilizing things. That’s not the point. The point is that on the way to providing these services, they harm the environment disproportionately more than you or I. As your first article points out:

    "AI doesn’t have to be super, super data-hungry or super, super compute-hungry,” says Donti. Instead, we can “imagine AI differently.”

    That’s the point. The billionaires and their megacorps could do it better. Your article points out a bunch of ways for LLMs to use less energy, and the amount of energy doing that would save would be orders of magnitude more than if people cut back or stopped their use, or whatever it is you’re suggesting.

    Yet… somehow they want to freeze the entirety of the world, magically build enough wind, solar, and hydro to power everything, then just… turn it back on again.

    No, we want billionaires to stop using so much fucking energy and making things disproportionately worse for everyone
