Man, this wide scale deployment of LLMs is gonna wreck the environment. Why do we even need this?

Shareholders need it

It's encouraging that people are starting to think critically about energy usage in the US and worrying about LLMs is as good introduction as any.

The main problem is that US needs to ramp down fossil fuel extraction and usage, and bring down per capita general electricity usage to levels resembling the rest of the western world. See eg this map: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-energy-use

Because AI is awesome, and nuclear power is awesome.
