You can easily replace Beef in your diet with foods that aren’t as bad for the environment. It won’t taste the same but so what.

You can’t cry that nobody needs AI but then in the same breath say that you can’t replace beef Something 100x worse for the environment.

Yes nobody NEEDS AI, just like nobody NEEDS beef, or to take a flight, but it’s still a nice to have and useful to a lot of people.

There are many reasons to be Anti-AI, the biggest one for me is Privacy & Manipulation.

But saying AI is brining the planet is BS (when you compared to other basics)

Read the actual article, that’s my whole point. We’re in somewhat of an echo chamber so people just upvote anything that says AI = BAD

I’m against AI for privacy reasons and other reasons, but the environment argument is a joke when you consider how little of an impact it has compared to streaming YouTube etc.

Fair, it’s not bad in comparison with things like Beef or Streaming 4k

But it’s still bad

Beef is useful? You could just eat chicken and other meats instead. And you be saving the environment 100x more than not using AI

My point is that people shouting that they care about the environment, while being silent on things like beef or flights etc. are being hypocrites. I’ve seen many people say AI IS BURNING THE PLANNET, when that is simply not true

And that would still be a drop in the bucket compared to beef or taking a flight.

You’re missing my point

Fair, but people are shouting that AI is destroying the planet, and pretending like it’s worse than cars or beef or flights.

Which weakens actuall reasons to be anti-AI

Thanks will do

I only learnt about it today

What label did I put on which people?

I never said anything bad about a single group of people, I simply want to shine light on the fact that honour killings and genital mutilations needs to stop, and that women should be treated as equals.

It has less to do with religion and more to do with culture, there are Christian, Muslim and Atheistic cultures that discriminate against women, neither of them should be tolerated.

There are cultures where female genital mutilation is commonplace, and that has little to do with religion. Hundreds of thousands of women in Europe are put through this, just like honour killings, we need to raise awareness that this is happening and put a stop to it.

I get these news sources might not be perfect.

It’s not like these things are uncommon, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/honor-killing-convictions-woman-stabbed-in-front-daughter-netherlands/

Here is another source found in a local dutch newspaper https://www.omroepflevoland.nl/nieuws/415004/ook-vader-van-ryan-18-wordt-vervolgd-voor-ombrengen-dochter

How many news sources do you need? There is probably not a single news source out there that somebody won’t be able to find fault in.
