    Yeah, less than a fraction of a percent of these memes are made on home gpus. Most are using publicly available, datacenter based ai prompts.

    These datacenters gobble up power and fresh water from people who need it to sustain their existence. This is similar to child labor in that it is exploiting a vulnerable populations resources for a profit.

      So okay, instead of doing it at home at 80% something efficiency, I then do it on specifically designed data-center that uses even less power to achieve my task. Why is this worse?

      We already know the water argument mostly fails.
