A passionate naturalist, Weston vanished May 29 after leaving his parents and brother to explore Kyoto on his own after butting heads with his mother over her use of ChatGPT – and the natural resources such AI requires – to navigate their trip

These people are actually insane and the world might be better off without them.
Most of the planet is water and what AI uses it for not only means it doesn't have to be potable, but also doesn't even mean it needs to be drawn from the area they're serving because data can easily travel long distances over the internet.

I don't know what being poor has to do with this.
The people with money in this case are producing these products and services that people like that mother found value in.
Her son is upset about the fact a machine costs anything to run, even plentiful resources like electricity and water.
They get money because people pay for the product, they pay for the product because it provides them value.
It is sane and productive. It's insane to say that we need to tear down this whole technology just because it costs real resources and doesn't just run on magic.

It takes approximately 460,000 to 67 million AI prompts to equal the carbon footprint of one return flight from Japan to America, depending heavily on the complexity of the AI model and the efficiency of the query.


For a specific high-end reasoning model (like DeepSeek R1), recent research indicates that roughly 1.2 million prompts would equal the emissions of this long-haul journey.

13 whole deaths a year for a restored ecosystem seems like a pretty good deal

I nearly got killed on a hiking trail in Hakone. It was a few years ago during an October heatwave, got stung multiple times by those giant murder hornets, nearly passed out trying to get back down and shattered my left shoulder.
Complete freak accident caused by the heat messing with the hornets and making them even more agressive than usual. Only survivied because of a trick I learned about dailling 911 getting you through to an english speaking emergency service. Mountain rescue sent up two teams, one to get me off the trail and a larger group in protective suits to take care of the hornets.
Fuckers have stingers so big they left scars.
Spent the rest of the trip off my tits on painkillers and the realisation that Japan is only so organised and efficient because of how deadly their countryside can be.

The kid likely wasn't suffering.
I'd bet the only reason they went on the trail is because his mother thought her kid just wanted to go into some nature.

His high school was co-located with a country club. Rich kids are often raised to be very soft and have little understanding of reality outside of their cultured bubble. When they go off to college, they pick majors full of rich kids just like them, never getting exposure to the harsh realities of the world until they do something stupid enough to puncture the bubble.

Humans are so complex and dramatic. This probably had more to do with his relationship with his mother than anything else. I have to feel bad for her but he was probably autistic so not her fault. Who tf would think that asking an AI a question would result in your child killing themselves? This is sadly all on him.

Landscaping. A public park with kids running around can make do with whatever water falls out of the sky but for golf, the landscaping is a combination of grass carpet and shrubby bumpers. Plus the water traps must be full to be effective as water traps. All of that means using water to achieve the desired outcomes when the natural rainfall isn't falling in the right amount at the right time.

No seriously, look it up, leftists have more empathy for people they've never met than for their nearest family, they're so devoted to their political causes they'd sell their family to accomplish them, diabolical. His peanut brain got so poisoned by politics he was ready to disown his own mother over something so petty as her using ChatGPT. If it wasn't that it would be some other comment the mother would think is not a big deal but the kid would see his greatest enemy in his own mother for having the wrong opinions.

Regular US hornets leave scars too. I got stung by like 60 of them when I was 12 or so and still have the scars from it. If it wasn't for my mom I would have died because my dad wasn't going to take me to the hospital. I vomited all the way to the hospital and had to stay for 3 days.

He loved nature because he had no idea what it was.
>>
btw he did commit suicide and not because of ai but because of the way people treat nature , he goolged sucidal stuff after an argument how ai drains natural resources he also studied some nature stuff and the shirts he wore were like for the bees he just didn't like the way things are going an argument just broke the camels back also kyotos nature has to be a nice place to end things

celebrating death is a satanic, leftist thing to do
>>
They found the guys body within a 20 minute drive of my house. No I didn’t help search for him.
>>
>>108993505
Lol did he run straight to the Suicide Forest specifically?
Or did he just get lost in some random place
>>
suicide forest aka aokigahara is located next to fuji so he didn't run straight there from kyoto
