      And how much CO2 was produced training the AI that was put on your device? How many slaves spent how many hours generating data to train that AI? How many slaves cut down how many forests to extract the materials that how many slaves turned into the chips that ran the training process?

        I mean, fuck Apple and fuck AI. But at some point “I noticed your picture was rendered with software that uses electricity that may have come from a fossil fuel power source, so I’m going to disregard environmentalism carte blanche” is just reactionary anti-environmentalist rhetoric couched in smug liberalist language.

        If only he didn’t generate that image! I can’t believe he made Apple generate that whole model!

        Depends on where the data centre was that did the processing

        If in nordics or france then practically nothing, if in California then depending on the day/time of year, how much wind/solar/battery was going probably minimal

        if somewhere with only coal plants then a decent amount

        Focusing climate change on individual contribution alienates people from the movement. Instead of wasting your energy making one person feel bad, maybe focus on the corporations that are actually responsible for producing that CO2 and cutting down those forests while hiding that reality from the consumer.

        I’m unsure about that. But seeing how stupid it is, and knowing that Apple produces green energy through Apple Energy LLC, I suspect not enough CO2 was produced 😂 /s
