Take over? Not llms. Destroy the world by accelerating climate change? Absolutely.

I get the spirit, but it's capitalism that accelerates climate change. LLMs are just the new blockchain scapegoat.

You're both right. Capitalism accelerates climate change but so does the outrageous electricity requirements of LLMs.

If it weren't for Capitalism, those LLMs would have been designed with a lower climate impact from the get-go. But since that hurts the shareholders bottom line, they aren't.
