Well, it’s a bit better than that, simply because you can train AI with solar power. Probably nobody does that currently, as it’s easier, faster-to-market and probably (for whatever corrupt reason) cheaper for business to let it run on burning fossils/nuclear. Currently there’s an insane amount of waste, often 1000s of models are trained and only the best performing one is deployed - and then it’s just a fancy autocomplete. The better use is for prediction of material failure, new medicine and protein folding, generally improved processes.

With asbestos you get some convenience, but it’ll be for eternity a pain to find a waste management facility that will accept it.

The spice must flow

So… then host your own instance and set up your own rules and mod /de-federate how you see fit?

It’s an offer you don’t have to take as-is, and this shows it’s the exact opposite of a failure: you can be the change you demand from others.
