Yep there might be plenty we disagree with regarding their investments and their affect on the environment but we are just lying to ourselves to say people arent making a living due to some of those investments, having our lives enriched, and generally benefitting us in ways we would demand to keep if they were all magically erased.
Kind of useless to talk about this in any way to come to a sentimental conclusion though because we arent looking at a distribution of data to inform us what generates the most environmental impact and how much value we actually get from it each investment. Its just a big ambigious number until we look into it. Which we wont. Because nobody here actually cares enough.
But duuuude when you say "burn to" you are using the terminology you say is incorrect. You would have to say "from this cd im burning a copy" and yet you yourself are using the verbiage "burning to" which directly implies the original cd is being burned [to a copy].
The whole point is that people used burning as a short way of saying what you are saying is correct. People made burn into a verb as a replacement for copy. Its the same thing as saying im burning this data... because you are indeed burning the data onto a copy. People can say "im burning this disc" to mean the same thing this is fucking stuuuuuupid
Edit: its like "im tattooing a tribal pattern onto this guys ass" is the same as "im tattooing a tribal pattern"
Does that mean someone is tattooing something onto a tribal pattern? No!!! Go away please
Maybe true. But if we have increased energy demand it might as well be nuclear.
Halting ai development might be nice according to many people, but we cant make that happen. Fraud alone is magnitudes more rampant. Its here to stay and we have to deal with it. I think this is a big win.
Change is scary lmao
Dont lean into getting old too much, you cant go back.
