@tante We're burning server farms for meme generation while researchers wait in AI queues.Better model: ✅ FREE: Health, education, science, open source 💰 PAY: Media generation, commercial content, marketingSearch engines: Bring back prominent Boolean operators as DEFAULT. AI search = premium only.Show energy costs upfront. Make trivial AI expensive, essential use free.Stop the waste. Channel compute toward innovation, not fluff. #AI #sustainability #digitalequity
