    People protesting agains the arms industry will generally focus on the bigger problem, which is all the people being killed. “Stop murdering people” is probably a more powerful message than “Stop wasting resources on murdering people”.

            It’s not? Power draw and efficiency has always been used as a major negative to a lot of things, it’s why we have more power efficient devices now. AI is consuming this power for what exactly? It’s entirely pointless, only there to enable a circular economy among mega-corporations.

            But that’s beyond the point here…

            It’s entirely irrelevant if something is a negative to one thing and not another. When talking drawbacks for something, there isn’t a list you have to pick from, they are going to be specific to it.

        I want to rephrase what the other person commented a bit friendlier. If power usage was not an issue it would likely not be attacked as much. Same goes for bit coin. Both would still have issues. Output that appears better than it use leading to inappropriate or non reviewed use (law documents and such) for the one and just a programmed scam (currency programmed to inflate in value while holding no actual value)
