Good article. Reminds me of when a client asked if backyard composting was sustainable: maybe composting is, but backyards are definitely not!
I talked to @robinsonmeyer about how legalizing the construction of new homes in places where people want to live is great for the climate too.

This really isn’t that useful, though? Textiles is a huge industry that demands systemic, global regulation. Nutrition labels exist because people have different nutritional needs, but people don’t have different textile sustainability needs.

What if I made up a number and then got scared at it
Energy will soon become the biggest bottleneck in AI. Gigawatt datacenters are already being built; larger ones are on the way; countries will struggle to produce enough power to satisfy demand. Distributed training will become increasingly important, helping balance consumption across global supply.

Real people being exploited to do click work not as interesting enough for me to help or care, sorry
Replying to @ESYudkowsky
look people keep on talking about how if we dare to think about human extinction it will distract from the near-term dangers of AI but they never come up with any really interesting near-term dangers, so I'm trying to fill the gap. it's called "steelmanning"
