    I thought your comment was more ridiculous

    1 person making a query has thousands of hours of computing behind it

    1 person compiling software themselves does not

      I’m not saying AI is not energy intensive. I’m saying the team who developed the least efficient Linux distribution throwing shade about AI being “energy inefficient” are hypocrites.

        But again it wasn’t the team, and it wasn’t " throwing shade" it was one guy, who listed it as one reason against AI. Power consumption is also a valid reason against using gentoo. People are able, and indeed should be aware of potential problems and downside of things, even if they are involved in other things which also has those issues. I am sure most of the gentoo team would readily acknowledge that energy consumption is a downside of gentoo compared to other distros.
