alt Hacker News> unhinged rant
Seems pretty hinged to me. Grounded firmly in reality even.
The data centres used to run AI consume huge amounts of power and water to run, not to mention massive quantities of toxic raw materials in their manufacture and construction. The hardware itself has a shelf life measured in single digit years and many of its constituent components can’t be recycled.
Tell me what I’m missing. What exactly is unhinged? Are you offended that he used the word “fuck” or something?
Many in the comment section are acting obtuse.
It's obviously the "vile machines raping the world and blowing up society" part that is particularly unhinged and possibly offensive.
