>give up on very loud but apparently hollow arguments related to the damage we are causing to the planet.

Which 'hollow arguments' are you referring to?

I was referring to climate arguments that we need to reduce our impact to at least mitigate the severity of issues being predicted for the very near future.

I call them apparently hollow in this context because we can't both chase the resource behemoth that is LLM tech and make any meaningful change to reduce our impact.
