No, sorry, those were rhetorical questions. I apologize, you're 100% correct.

I mean, I get why people scoff at it. But look at it from their perspective.

They're getting heat for all the energy LLMs use. The natural response is to buy carbon free energy and good on them for taking that step, frankly.

I'm usually on the lookout for carbon offsets when companies "pledge" to reduce carbon but those are bullshit.
