In the late 2000s there was a push by a lot of businesses to not print emails and people use to add a ‘Please consider this environment before printing this email.’

Considering how bad LLMs/‘ai’ are with power consumption and water usage a new useless tag email footer should be made.

      Yeah, it’s stupid that they built it where it’s not supported by the necessary infrastructure. btw, do you know what happens after they use it to cool the servers? it gets placed back into the river, it doesn’t disappear. this situation is an infrastructure issue, not an AI issue.
