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.

It’s already included in the 3Wh calculation

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

Fantastic

Wikipedia is pretty reliable. It’s not perfect but for most things it does the job, and is up to date.

For most things is much quicker to just use the Internet

I hope to see people like Lewis Rossmann erc. Start posting there

Using a barcode username is nice for being anonymous

Eg.

IlIIIllIIl

It’s a combination of lower case L and upper case I

I’d also like to know

I had a look at voyager, and it’s UX is perfect for new users. It would be great to get the web to that point https://photon.lemmy.world/ seems quite good, maybe that should be default.

Yes it does depend on the front end.

But that’s the thing its not the default front end.

Most users will give up before discovering Photon.

The default experience should be very smooth and require little to no effort and thinking. Like what everyone has gotten used to

This will keep happening until Lemmy etc. Have good UX

For the vast majority of users the UX just sucks for most of the fediverse

We need to push for or fund better UX

What app do you use?

I’m new to Lemmy and quite tech savvy.

I’d like to get more people I know to join, but the standard UI really wasn’t nice. Thanks for showing me Photon, I like it so much more!!

I’m using Sync on mobile, I miss the Upvote & Downvote bar, any idea how to get it back?
