My wife works in the ESG/sustainability space and she was at a conference earlier this year: they were all hyperventilating about AI power and water use. So it seems there are at least some of them who are consistent.

Interesting that your wife works in this field. Can I ask – without judgement - does she drive an EV? I have followed the EV space deeply for almost 15 years now and it's been fascinating to observe behaviors among certain elements within our society who care about emissions and the environment. A surprising amount refuse to see the benefits of EVs. Some have a genuine inability to charge reliably, which I understand. But many believe the misinformation that EVs emit more emissions, or they simply don't make the effort to understand how to own and operate one and choose to stick with their gas car because it's 'what they know'. Any insight on your wife's choices or thinking here would be very interesting!

Unlike Bitcoin miners, you don't want to turn your GPUs off because it offers a direct human interfaced service rather than a selfish thing, so you'll suffer reputation loss if you do so.

I'd really like to pose that Bitcoin Miners > AI GPUs, but I need to work that out into a 500 page essay first.
