Fetishizing human made "artificial intelligence" while utterly ignoring the presence, needs and rights of basically all non-human "real intelligence" lifeforms on earth (except to slaughter them for pleasure) is a sign of a deeply stupid species and borders on necrophilia.

The Staggering Ecological Impacts of Computation and the Cloud
"The Cloud now has a greater carbon footprint than the airline industry. A single data center can consume the equivalent electricity of 50,000 homes."

Isn't it interesting how the AI scene is mostly ignoring the Halting Problem for Turing machines & the countless other unresolvable paradoxes of NP-hard complex systems? Instead of earnest grappling with the edge of chaos, we are optimizing shareholder value with sci-fi marketing

There are 7000+ species of earthworms, which are essential for soil fertility, food production & all life on earth. They contribute ruffly 6.5% of grain & 2.3% of legume production globally. The collective agency & overall usefulness of worms far surpasses that of AI.

Estimates on the energy and carbon costs of deploying AI models
1. Average energy use per 1000 queries by task. A single image generation can be the equivalent of a single phone charge or driving 4 miles. Source: Hugging Face
2. Energy demand of training various AI models

In China, Fēng shuǐ (風水, Geomancy) plays a role in selecting sites for major computation data centers. Studies suggest that incorporating Fēng shuǐ principles correlates with significantly reduced error rates in essential system components, such as chips.
150y ago: The horror of Chinese geomancers at British attempts to construct railways across the Lung Mai or ‘dragon veins’ of their country resulted in a consortium of local businessmen buying and promptly dismantling the newly-completed railway line around Shanghai, in horror at the devastating impact it would have on the Feng Shui of the city.

Lots of comparisons are being made between Cisco and Nvidia. Cisco provided the backbone to the internet, and Nvidia is doing the same for AI today. Cisco's products got commoditized, and margins went to zero over time. The current expectation is that the same thing will happen with Nvidia.

Prediction: As the AGI movement grows, many will notice the ontological quicksand upon everything rests and turn to experimental theology as their framework.

The amount of ghost related experiences is constant throughout all ages. It is the substrate that changes: Today, ghosts that manifest in electronic devices are trending.
