# AI Eats Up What?

The other problem with AI, in addition to its potential demonic possession of the web, appertains to its voracious appetite for resources. All the AI stuff generates a ton of heat, which requires water to cool and electricity to run. Science has often progressed along the corridor of most heat-causing and environment-destroying trajectory. For instance, while it is possible to study matters from a holistic view, generally the lens used is atomic through means of tearing something apart. We have fission, for instance, not fusion. We have an electrical grid that transports currents with wires. There are alternative ways of getting energy and moving it, but we stick with stuff that is now over a hundred years old as our main way of dealing with these needs. We have dissection, but not integration of systems study. Everything is taken as a reductionistic, piece-by-piece puzzle where a piece is isolated from the whole and then studied as though it were natural for it to remain in that state. 

The result is we have global warming, but we should trust nuclear energy. Lest one think this is a Democratic, or Republican issue, be assured that the internet which brought us AI was pushed heavily by progressive Democrats. Nuclear power was pushed, traditionally, more by Republicans, although at certain moments Democrats stepped in. Neither party was sufficiently concerned about the environment, though, to actually consider a radical revaluation of how we gain and use energy.

## When AI Isn't Eating Energy It Eats...

Well, brains. It eats up the creation of other human beings in order to recombine it or find some hidden relation that escapes the notice of people. Of course, while it is doing this, it can also hallucinate and just make observations up. AI, then, is a little like a retarded dinosaur zombie in that it has an appetite that requires tonnage to satisfy, and when it gets tired of doing a job it makes up games to play with its tail and dresses the result up as factual. When it is not doing that, though, it is busy eating people's brains and creations without asking them, or giving them credit.

Despite this being extremely stupid, certain people decided unleashing AI on the web was *still* a good idea. The only possible motivation one can have for that is being so arrogant as to think AI is a life improvement despite the obvious issues it has, or wanting to destroy the web to replace it with...what? Probably control. Of course, it could be a combination of both motivations. People that cannot figure out where the truth lies are willing to believe anything that seems like stability—especially in a river of falsehoods.

## Nonetheless

We know from the previous post here that AI does make an appearance in the Bible. Not the technology, of course, but the pattern that describes its likely fate. From my perspective, this cannot come soon enough. Following another Science pattern, a solution that science produces, later becomes a problem to be solved by what? Why, science of course. That also has to end.
