Animal agriculture has significantly better utility and scaling than LLMs. So, its not hypocritical to be opposed to the latter but not the former.
The holocaust was well scaled too. Animal ag is responsible for 15-20% of the entire planets GHG emissions. You can live a healthier, more morally consistent life if you give up meat.
Do you know what I mean by "scaling"? Because going by your reply, you don't.
Not really. It shows that he used scale in the appropriate manner.
I think you're just grasping at straws by saying what sounds nice in your head instead of engaging in a legitimate argument.
I said "scaling" not "scale". "Scaling" refers to how output and expenses of the enterprise behaves as it becomes bigger or smaller. Threeduck seems to think it means "big". And then immediately refers the holocaust for some reason.
Though, the term is broad, hence why I asked them about how they interpret the term.
Yeah, you're the one who's confused about the definition.
I'd ask you to read the Wikipedia disambiguation page on scaling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling), but you're likely too scared to consider anything that doesn't conform to your simplistic worldview.
