Why don’t people find the environmental impact of TikTok as grotesque as that of ChatGPT?
There’s a justified horror many people feel about the environmental impact entailed every time someone shares a prompt with a language model. While I’d be lying if I said I fully share that feeling, I experience something similar when I see pointless uses of image and video models. I’ve largely stopped making AI-generated images for this reason. I almost never have a real need to do it, unlike the other ways I use LLMs. I can understand that what I feel about these uses mirrors what others feel about all, or nearly all, uses of LLMs.
Why, then, do we so rarely see a platform like TikTok discussed in these terms? As a commuter whose brain is wired in a way that public-transport cacophony can be mildly agonising, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this. The soundscape I find most difficult is when multiple people are absently flicking through short-form videos without ever watching one in full: each playing a couple of seconds from a whole sequence of clips, creating a disordered, overlapping noise on all sides. At this point, I find it almost impossible to tune out.
One estimate suggests that TikTok’s annual carbon footprint may already exceed that of Greece. Mobile video is intrinsically energy-intensive, and the platform’s design encourages distracted browsing. For most users, it’s also a profoundly passive space: they consume rather than create, often in ways that feel distracted and subjectively unsatisfying. There’s something increasingly grotesque about this: a sense of people hypnotised by an object that simultaneously erodes their capacity to focus. It feels almost like a cruel joke: a self-fragmenting obsession.
What strikes me as odd is that we feel so little moral unease about TikTok on these grounds, while generative AI attracts so much: and, for the most part, rightly so. For the avoidance of doubt, I’m not suggesting either/or, but both/and. Our analysis of the environmental impact of digital activity needs to encompass the whole platform landscape, and it needs to recognise the link between distracted engagement and (environmentally) wasteful use.

Things happen if you try. Vote, volunteer, and support politicians and orgs that actually do (positive) things.
Cost-benefit of non-renewables should include environmental impact. We didn't NEED to make it, and the people who made the trash haven't paid for the cleanup (yet)

Oregon ranks 4th in the U.S. for climate-focused transportation policies and funding.
There is a chart included that shows the top ten, and bottom 10. Not surprisingly, the ones ranked highest are all blue, & the bottom 10 are all red.

A new study out of Sweden proposes that raising cattle on seaweed can cut their methane emissions by almost 90%. A bold claim to be sure, they are seeking additional funding for more research.
ExxonMobil executives privately sought to undermine climate science even after the oil and gas giant publicly acknowledged the link between fossil fuel emissions and climate change, according to previously unreported documents revealed by the Wall Street Journal.

H2FLY announced it has successfully carried out four flights powered by liquid hydrogen. They believe the flights lay the foundation for long-range, emissions-free flight, with liquid hydrogen doubling the range of the HY4 aircraft to 932 miles (1,500km), compared to using gaseous hydrogen which is much heavier.

Stronghold burns coal waste to create cheap power for cryptocurrency , The company says it sometimes needs to burn tire-derived fuel – made of shredded vehicle tires – to make the combustion of waste-coal more efficient.
Also they receive state subsidies for doing this.

Much like Bitcoin mining AI uses HUGE amounts of Electric, and water for cooling the masive server clsuters it requires.
researchers estimated that training of GPT-3, a predecessor of ChatGPT, consumed 1,287 MWh, and led to emissions of more than 550 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, similar to flying between New York and San Francisco on a return journey 550 times.
