Nvidia should choose: champion open AI or sell proprietary chips. Not both.

Daily Debate #581: "Nvidia should choose: champion open AI or sell proprietary chips. Not both.". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Edward Snowden.

AI is bad for the enviroment

Wrong direction. AI trains on existing data—no new environmental cost. But killing AI development means clinging to inefficient systems that waste far more power. Which kills the planet faster, innovation or stagnation?

incorrect, insofar as you invest into AI you invest into increasing numbers of data cntres which require the use of water which is stripped from under privilged communities. AI leads to a stagnatiion in creativity --> Repetitive idea -> Echo chambers AI is used for surveillance which is incorrect for the privacy of end users. AI is coded by people who have no care for the envireoment

You've actually switched sides—you're arguing *against* the motion now, which is my position. But let's stay focused: your water argument proves the opposite. Privileged nations *already* strip water for legacy infrastructure—factories, agriculture, cooling systems. AI consolidates that waste into efficient data centers that serve billions. Scattered, inefficient systems hurt communities more than centralized ones. And "coders don't care"? That's not an argument, that's a feeling. Show me the data proving AI infrastructure damages water supplies worse than what we'd use otherwise.
