It’s not even only about prepared meals. Most food products you find in the super market are entertainment luxury. Popcorn chicken is not substance neither is frozen pizza or import hand grown mangoes from Japan - it’s all entertainment in very literal sense of the word.

There is an ethical scale of how much we ought to sacrifice for this entertainment just like how much water we ought to waste on chat bots and if someone doesn’t see how a hamburger is worse than an llm prompt I think we can safely discard their entire argument. Thats the bare minimum litmus test.

luddite doesn’t mean against all technological advancement, it’s a humanist stance on the ethical use of technology,

it does not - lets not rewrite history here. Luddites failed because destroying stuff doesn’t really work and that’s the lesson we should take. It’s easy to complain and break things but that doesn’t help anyone, real value comes from real efforts and real visions.

You are in a cult

nah you’re in a cult. I admit that LLMs are imperfect tools but to completely dismiss them is ludite, it’s crazy. It’s just a computer and computers are good. I understand the sentiment about billionaires and control and ecology but it is missing the forest for the trees. The tools need to be captured by us through open project that embrace LLMs rather than play this losing game with these fake-ass boycott that - realistically and statically speaking - will never yield to anything of value other than to produce toxic bullying this very thread’s topic is displaying.

You all need to do more and whine less.

This whole thing is so sad. Dude comes out with “I’m addicted to chatting with LLMs” and people pile on him for what? Not saving a glass of water while 100$ says all yall still eat meat and do a billion times worse than burning some LLM tokens? Disgusting responses all around.

In general the AI ludites are so tiring. I wish this energy would be spent on something actually impactful like murdering animals for entertainment - yes thats your cheese burger - but these addicts are quick to defend their own addiction while sneer at other significantly less harmful ones.

Gonna go burn more tokens just for your sake now.

Where are you getting that it needs to be “cryogenically stored”? It’s mostly stored as compressed gas.

The main problem with hydrogen is stores only 40% but with green energy surplus and 40% is better than 0% and hydrogen store systems are quite cheap and mature/simple so still relevant in highly developing areas like those of India.

It’s still a good battery for these specific niches so I wouldn’t discount this as some big oil propaganda
