You really went looking for something to hate on there didn’t you. That is the only sentence in the whole article that even mentions power consumption, all the other arguments both fit and against are for a variety of other topics.

It seems to be that you are more likely caught up in some kind of movement if one argument from one person is enough for you to label everyone there luddites

The rest of the ridiculous moralizing was pretty bad as well. This was just the most egregiously stupid thing listed in the article.

I thought your comment was more ridiculous

1 person making a query has thousands of hours of computing behind it

1 person compiling software themselves does not

I’m not saying AI is not energy intensive. I’m saying the team who developed the least efficient Linux distribution throwing shade about AI being “energy inefficient” are hypocrites.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
