In what way. That new AWS data center is going to kill about 7k people just in CO2 emissions per year. Just 21 of those will kill as many people as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs per year.

Well by that logic i was destined to go to hell a long time ago when i started driving. My personal annual commute to work creates ten times co2 emissions that the entirety of the energy google used to train chatgpt.

AI datacenters account for less than 10% global co2 emissions. Of course ten percent more global warming is bad, but i personally have several things that contribute more than using AI ten hours a week.
