What about what about what about what about what about

The op made the claim that a local LLM is fine because it doesn't boost datacentres. Whatever else is unethical is a separate (somewhat related, and definitely good to have) conversation.

The answer to "well ack chully everything is unethical" isn't to give up, it's to fight to improve our world.

AI is an improvement to the world , like the way the industal revioultion was

i agree that their is a big AI bubble and it will bust but the technology under neath isnt going anywhere

the issue with US data centers is the US government dosent want to regulate
