      And the meat industry is based on subsidies and infrastructure that goes back what, decades?

      If there’s anything that produces carbon that’s “inevitable” and “never going away”, the meat industry is a far better candidate than AI, but I only ever hear arguments about the latter from the AI boosters.

      (Hopefully it goes without saying but this is not a defense of keeping meat around, which is not something that can be said when you hear an AI inevitabilist say their cliche)
