Spoiler alert: the problem didn't actually get fixed despite the jaw on the floor.

Why? Anyone can run that prompt.

Not everybody has access to AI. More than that, every prompt uses insane amounts of natural resources. So why not share it.
reply
The resources per prompt aren’t that much .

Also I hope you don’t have children, eat meat, travel, have a car, run AC, buy things in other countries and such. Those things all take way way way more natural resources.

All your examples are private goods: excludable and rival. If one person uses a unit, that prevents others from using them.

Patches to open source software are public goods. Your using them doesn’t prevent others from using them. So if you spend resources creating a public good, it’s in everyone’s interest to share it.

Yet you participate in a society.

If action X takes a million times more resources than action Y, it's silly to focus on or highlight action Y. Seriously: if you are a regular meat eater, your choices use several orders of magnitude more water than even a heavy LLM user. A quip from a comic doesn't somehow erase that or make it irrelevant.
