The fact that there’s no option to express my anger over the environmental cost of AI is infuriating. There is no responsible or positive use of AI when it’s accelerating the destruction of our climate.

I have stopped giving Apple my money, for this among other reasons. I have to say, though, that Asahi Linux makes a compelling case for repurposing their hardware for better use.
I’ve heard it as a word, “Rustles”. Not sure how canonical that is though.
It’s satire, pointing the cognitive dissonance that allows people to recognize that fumes are deadly but never question the fact that our entire “modern” concept of city planning is built around constantly being in and around the machines that produce these fumes 24/7.
This misses the fact that even the experts have been using “AI” to refer to whatever technology used to seem impossible, until it becomes commonplace. Before LLMs there were heuristic algorithms, and then expert systems, and then intelligent agents and then deep learning. As the boundaries of what is deemed achievable expand, the definition of AI moves to just beyond the frontier.

Thankfully, development of Servo has been revived, and it’s now fully independent of Mozilla. I believe it’s now being stewarded by the Linux Foundation of Europe, with a lot of contributions from Igalia.
