@akamran @Muddobbers @davidgerard i see your point. i believe it is important to split ressource requirements and bad policies. at industrial scale this could all be less of a problem if energy was created more sustainably. on a personal scale it is relatively small as it consumes less power than a gaming PC (given normal usage patterns)

it is important where data centers are built and how they are powered and cooled. i believe it is important to regulate towards public benefit

@zzt @davidgerard lol david gerard blocked me for this post. doesn't seem like he is interested in a meaningful discussion but rather prefers to delude himself... how ironic

@zzt @davidgerard because my instance is limited to 500 character replies. also i don't see the point in argueing over cherries as i believe causality can't be established. however i second your sentiment and believe it to be a good guide

@Muddobbers @davidgerard it is important to put in the work. using AI can help you with that. if you try to use it to not having to put in the work it will fail you as a tool

@davidgerard @zzt first of all i believe it is important to state that the OECD itself recognises that these results can't establish causality. secondly it needs to be said that the headline is not only misleading but rejects truth. see this plot from page 140 of the report. OECD puts it like this

> those who reported using AI to help them learn frequently […] tend to slightly outperform their peers

i believe unreflected criticism it to be dangerous and unhealthy
