Shut up and invest in the $500 trillion datacenter that requires all the world's electricity to run for 10 seconds.

>>106110976
This is just another bullshit straw for twitter retards to grasp at, you used the same argument for bitcoin when bitcoin is a billion times more energy efficient than the fucking physical banking system existing.
In america, we waste hundreds of billions of gallons on (likely out-of-date and inefficient) irrigation for crops like pistachios, we waste literal exajoules of energy on making sure everyone is forced to drive around a $600/mo boomerbox instead of doing work from home or having public transit.
In fact, a fucking quarter pounder takes like 700 gallons of water and billions of joules (if you only count the sunlight needed to grow the feed and not the energy cost of transporting/farming the cow) to produce.
If anyone really cared about the environment we would have concentrated humanity in a few vegan megacities and given everyone a cozy WFH job (which is literally the objectively correct way to structure civilization)
instead we have listen to directionbrained retards squabble over whether a thing that personally offends them is bad for the environment or too woke or something

The dot.com bubble did burst and a shit ton of companies died.

However the tech IS actually useful, so we got massive internet corporations.

nobody talks about the "petroleum bubble" bursting in 19-whatever because oil became ubiquitous and essential to society,
computers are the new oil. AI is like what the invention of plastic did for the petroleum industry

You don't "waste" water nigger, they enter back into the environment through runoffs, evaporation etc

>>106111326
the fact that banks exist as a physical location with people they have to hire will always mean their environmental impact will be greater than a completely digitized financial system that you can run on consumer hardware in a basement somewhere.
>what it does provide is mostly scams, drugs, gambling and evading sanctions that has net negative social value
yeah turns out a trustless system that's impossible to regulate has people doing unregulated, untrustworthy shit. You might as well complain that people were bootlegging during prohibition, my nigger, the whole point of bootlegging was getting around prohibition

By using water for any activity you alter the quality of the water, the rate of groundwater recharge does not increase proprotionally to water use because it takes years (even up to hundreds) for water to actually move through the ground back into aquifers and wells, the rate of fresh surfacewater production is also not infinite and you can "hog" surfacewater the same way you can "hog" the bandwidth on a network.
The billions of heads of cattle that exist (did you know that there's more biomass of cattle than human beings on earth) are not all fed by crops grown solely with rainwater, they use a significant amount of feed from irrigation.

We've discovered in practice that humans are better at figuring out true value unless there is massive fraud. And no, AI labs using "your" data that you posted to the internet for anybody to run arbitrary programs on isn't fraud. And no using a trillion gallons of water in some remote location isn't fraud.

Pistachios are great though

the entire US economy is currently being kept alive by speculation on 3 different companies

the burden of proof is on you to prove that bitcoin uses more energy than the current financial system (including bank locations, vaults, physical transfers, etc.) in the first place

>>"big tech" has been a thing for 20 years and trillions of market cap are locked up in tech
Tech has been stagnat since the late 90s, the progress in the decades form the 50s to 2000 was amazing and then more or less post great recssion, stagnant
>muh AI
Lexers neural nets etc learning algos etc were all created in teh 90s tLLMs are just mores law catching up with that work, same ith all mobile data, social media etc etc. It was all already done by the late 90s. Tech has been a carcass rotting in the sun for 20 years. If it wa snt for porn the internet would still rn on 28.8K modems

>>106112392
how do you think things should be, given that they're currently, objectively, completely unsustainable?
everyone forced to live in a mcmansion on a 5 acre lot with a manicured, herbicided lawn and forced to drive a f250 3 hours to work every day because that's le hecking based "freedom"
get real, you pig fuck
you just want a bigger, more expensive, more wasteful, more uncomfortable pod as long as you can stick it to le libtards. you don't give a fuck about anything

>>106111432
That's why they set this up in retarded liberal states where water is a "human right (ie free for utility monsters)" rather than a metered utility with a liquid market.

This is how I know that 90% of /g/ are no-coders or SWEs who haven't touched LLMs since 2023.

What do you mean Bitcoin is more energy efficient you dumb nigger? Roughly quarter of all datacenter power is used for crypto, and less then few percent of people use it unlike the banking system. Crypto still consumes more energy then AI while being million times more useless. Literally just the first few searches and calculator to find this out. Go grab the nearest knife and lob it in your forehead.

>>106110837 (OP)
The AI bubble popping will be catastrophic. Imagine the dotcom bubble, but worse.

>>106111369
There is limited amount of clean water in the system. It is renewable but the more water you use for cooling the less water you will have for crops or households. Water does not rain instantly when you evaporate it and lot of dry places use ground water which is limited because the excess evaporated water usually goes to the ocean. If none of this was an issue then you would not have droughts and farmers rationing water for their crops.

Yeah, models that require ton of money to access, so nobody who does not make money uses it. Also
>Hunted food
People do eat venison today and there are still people who sell what they hunt, just isn’t the primary food source
>Specialised craftsmanship
There are dedicated craftsmen for everything asking premium prices for often better goods and people buy that, it’s just that there isn’t that many of them
>Hand farmed
Lot of crops can’t be harvested with combine harvesters, there was this whole deal with immigrant labour and picking berries during elections
>Self service
Lot of people hate this shit and small stores still all have clerks. Also nigger infested places have clerks just to prevent stealing and there will always need to be clerks for those places
>Art, programming
Yeah people don’t like programmers which is kind of their fault because they were all pro AI until few months ago when AI agents started vibe coding for them, but when it comes to AI art the s0ijacks are 100% correct. Normies online hate AI more and more every month outside of India, even lot of pro-AI people on YouTube are starting to dislike it in this specific case.

>>106112778

AI will kill fuckton of people and plunge most of the world into poverty. Either because it succeeds at developing close to AGI system and people get automated out of living, or because it does not succeed and the bubble of all bubbles erases quarter of the world’s wealth.

All that says it's illegal to sell poached game, not really a surprise as you generally aren't allowed to profit from crimes. If you had ever gone outside a city you'd know that people sell their legally captured game all the time.

>>106112853
Probably sometime next year, MAYBE the year after. OpenAI and Anthropic are starting to get tight on money, and if either declare bankruptcy, it will scare the hoes (investors). The big unanswered question is how long those two can make their money stretch before they either run out or it becomes too obvious to ignore that the profits are not and will never be there.

>>106113008
Profits will come once real AGI (faggot investors and hypers now call that ASI) will come and currency will be abolished.
