  Very true. I looked around out of curiosity because they make pretty substantial claims about greenhouse emissions from the A/C units themselves, but other sources claimed the emissions were a combination dirty fuel usage for energy generation and that they partially come from leakage of refrigerants.

  That said, if most or all consumer electricity is provided by renewables (mine is!), the entire first half of that claim is invalidated. Though I guess they don’t expect developing countries to jump on pure solar/wind development right away.

  This study seems to assume that we will power basically none of the oncoming air conditioning with renewable energy and that air conditioners are just going to always be leaking.

  “issues groveling apology”

  Telling the llm that it should apologize doesn’t count as groveling. It cannot express how sorry it is because it cannot be sorry.

  The fediverse’s infatuation with finding any and every possible criticism of AI is draining. In one breath, people will hit you with the “schrodinger’s immigrant” quip, and then tell you that AI is completely worthless and unwanted but also somehow too powerful and dangerous.
