from what I know bitcoin mining is a huge waste of resources and it's still happening... Definitely not on that large of a scale but I honestly don't mind exaggerating the shittiness of that tech in specific
no, I'm a bit computer illiterate tbh, but I'll look it up and do that at some point, right now it's just not worth the bother for me really, I'm mostly sad the 15 year old account is dead...
good plan, while we do that we can avoid using ai slop, especially because it's so easy. and i absolutely do think we should put in our best efforts to live ethically, within reason ofcourse
I don't I'm just banned there. I would be fine with lemmy if there were more people here with specific tiny sub-comunities like reddit. hell, there arent even big fandom pages here...
I agree actually! No ethical consumtion and all that, no need to be engaging in easily available AI art usage because "well other things are also unethical". two wrongs dont make a right
AI is also bad because it uses basically slave labor; people in 3rd world countries have to look at horrible shit all day to filter it out of the training data. using it endorses this, along with environmental damage, the intellectual property isn't the only issue with it
but but but somebody was late for work!!!!! /s
