They didn’t say food, they said cattle. Meat is as unecessary (except pzarticular health condition) as ai, and pollute more. Opposing ai for environnemental issues but not opposing meat at the same time is kinda contradictory

As if meat industry where not also driven by stock manipulation, exploitation, destruction of natural habitat, to grow food for developped country consumers, when a lot people still don’t have safe access for food.

Meat delicious is based on personal taste. This argument is as valid as “using ai is so fun”, so argument rejected

We can also go without ai

Yes

Meat can give nutritional value

Palm oil gives nutrients, yet its cultivation pollute. Meat production pollute, and it’s consumption can be reduced or replaced.

All I’ve seen AI do is concentrate wealth to the top 1%tech bros.

I agree. Also consider that meat industry has it’s own big evil shareholder that exploit farmers to produce shit for consumers

My whole point is not ai good meat bad.

Its : if your argument against ai is water, energy and pollution (which i agree with, all this datacenter, hardware and energy consumption is nonsense compared to the little scope of where ai is useful), don’t oppose it to farming industry, or also fight against intensive meat production, which also involves a john shareholder that destroys the planet

Meat is worse than AI for the environnement, and you can go without meat (except some health condition)

I work daily with my company’s hosted LLM, and the last 6 months of use had the same environnemental impact as eating 10g of beef

Also i use an old model, in a country with mostly decarbonate electricity, and not with agentic mode, so it may have worse impact elsewhere

This is not an argument for ai though, pushing for ai use where it shouldn’t be used is dumb, wasteful and armful for society, just saying that if you are a dev using llm for occasional help and prototyping, eating less meat will be far more helpful for the environnement

Mmmmhm let me put a datacenter and intensive farming here to pump dry all that yummy water

HOW DID I NOT SEE IT IN 3 SEC ?

Id say hesitating yes require a proper confirmation. If the person doesn’t look sure to you, ask them ?
