The goal is not to reduce energy use. The goal is to reduce fossil fuel use.

China isn't concerned with any paradox. China is concerned with becoming 
the same kind of economic powerhouse it was until 200 or so years ago. 
If that means to temporarily build even more coal plants until the 
build-out of CO₂-neutral sources has advanced enough, then so be it *shrug*.

AI/LLMs or not, and Debian's statement about its use, are not going to 
affect any of that by any detectable margin.

Note that I'm not saying that we should simply ignore the environmental 
effects of current LLM tech. But if I'm running my GPU only on my 
surplus solar power, why should this GR's environmental concerns affect 
me, much less prevent me from including its output in Debian?

ITYM "depressed".
