    I thought this crazy energy consumption shit would cool off a bit after assholes stopped bitcoin mining.

    Glad AI stepped up so we can generate bad art and prose while buttfucking the planet

      The planet will be alright. It will be lush green in a few million years when humans no longer exist.

      The current ecosystem, though… yeah. Buttfucked.

      Cryptocoins, blockchain, NFTs, AI craze. It’s all the same people who think that the solution to the problems that capitalism has created is technology.
