The compute used to do this burnt several ton of natural gas, boiled a small lake in Minnesota, traumatized approximately 4 people in the developing world to label the training data, and cost a pensioner about 2% of their net value.
Is anyone else walking around in a perpetual SEETHING RAGE THAT APPROACHES THE HEAT OF THE SUN at literally all times because of this shit? Like the absolute state of the fucking world where THAT is what we spend the MAJORITY of our resources on. Literally just manipulating and nagging people to do bullshit no one wants.
For me it’s more a distributed smoldering rage at the systems that make such outcomes inevitable, and at those who refuse to consider these things critically because they’re personally benefiting from it in some way. Whether that benefit be in the form of personal social and financial success, or in the form of emotional comfort at the idea that there is an inevitable march of progress that will solve problems.
Like, honestly, I’m not even really angry at the individuals, mainly at the dynamics that create the shitty behavior. It’s hard for me to be furiously angry at concepts though.
