Egg consumers can have chicken 'welfare' or sustainability but not both... well, they could choose not to consume eggs in the first place. It's not like there is a shortage of food that are sustainable and don't have nervous systems. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

When talking about emissions due to animal husbandry, many people point to fossil fuels as the larger problem. If we account for emissions from full lifecycle assessment of animal husbandry, we can see that it contributes significantly to total anthropogenic GHG emissions, more than many industries.

Worried about water use of AI data centers? Some perspective is in order. Which of these things do we have direct control over? Meat consumption in the US is on the rise.
Water uages of food items vs AI data centers. US AI data center water use, while significant, is still far less than major food categories.

Re: alignment. If AI is being trained on world literature, I think 99% of the time good triumphs over evil and even when it doesn't, it is usually expressed that the outcome isn't what was supposed to happen. I'm not saying we shouldn't worry about alignment but we should be more optimistic.

I think all congressional hearings should start with the question, "Do you know how to answer a yes/no question?" followed by "What are the possible answers to a yes/no question?" followed by "Did you understand the previous two questions?" Then proceed with the rest of the hearing.

Environmentalists will rightly villify Trump's anti-environmental actions while refusing to do the one thing in their control; move to wholly plant-based foods to fight climate change.
