It's amazing how split-brained the tech industry can be sometimes.

On the one hand, a majority of developers oppose mass data collection and privacy-invasive technologies like ad tech. Many of those same developers also oppose crypto projects because of their energy consumption and environmental impact.

And yet, those same developers have embraced frontier language models--technologies that have simultaneously scraped vast amounts of the world's data, raise serious privacy concerns, and consume massive amounts of energy.
