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