AI people choosing renewables have nothing to do with this.
But they aren't choosing renewables, they're choosing coal. People are responsible for the choices they make.
Some companies choose renewables, other don't. They aren't only one person.
How many of the AI companies that chose coal actually produce something worthwhile? Seems like the first the these nuScience fuckers should do with their digital overmind is create clean power.
Using renewables to power AI for optimizing uses of renewables somehow is a good idea and I'm sure someone is working on it, but not everyone.
We don't need AI to know how to use renewables. We're just unwilling to implement then on a sociality scale.
I am totally willing to implement renewables. Whether you use it to power cars, homes, datacenter or AI and why, that's anther discussion.
