Please don’t suggest heating the ocean! Someone might just go to try to do that. The ocean is already warming too much!

It's a bit demoralizing how many suggestions in this thread would have significant environmental effects beyond what large scale AI training already has.

It's already being done all over the place. It's not particularly damaging compared to the alternatives.

It's far far faaar more demoralizing people not realizing orders of magnitude...

Something like 2/3rds of sunshine is already being absorbed by oceans. How much solar power do humans harvest? A billionth?

>>jamess+O3
It's a bit demoralizing people talk about AI training as if it were even 1/100th the environmental impact of the personal automobile or frequent airplane trips

I'm talking about the above proposals (albiet hypothetical) to either cover a pole of our planet in solar and other ocean based proposals--not solar in general.
