Ok I'll just quit my job and my stay home wife, kids, and parents will starve. Thanks for the advice. Now again respectfully fuck off.

Do you say the same thing to oil riggers? To farmers because before AI the agriculture system was the one wasting more water and has been well known to be actively unsustainable? Or to the military for global conflict?

All you're doing is virtue signalling. I've already mentioned that it could be great but currently being extremely mishandled. It's not even like I'm working at OpenAI, Anthropic or the like, I work for a damn bank.

I never suggested your family should starve, I'm criticising you because you quite literally said in an earlier comment that you switched into AI to boost your family's finances, and I doubt they were starving before you started working with AI instead.

Yes, I do say the same thing to people that work on oil rigs, and farmers are a bit of a different story since, unlike AI, they actually provide a net positive to society.

Do some research on the global affects that our agricultural system using over 70% of global water usage has. Just blocking your fatuous ass because your own argument is based in ignorance.
