What environmental cost? The uranium is going to decay on its own anyway, we might as well use that energy for useful things.

Maybe LLMs will help lead to a breakthrough in nuclear fusion or battery research.

Degrowth is the philosophy of poverty, and a poverty of philosophy.

Degrowth and "Maybe this uses too much electricity" are not the same thing, particularly when a nontrivial portion of US generation is fossil-fuel based.

As for the breakthroughs, maybe they will, maybe they won't; it's not much of an argument.

endless growth is the philosophy of an economic system that does not regard the long-term health of the planet and its flora and fauna. what's your point?
