@plexus Luckily it doesn't make coding several orders of magnitude more energy intensive. Check out this guy's blog: https://www.simonpcouch.com/blog/2026-01-20-cc-impact/ He's a heavy Claude Code user (multiple sessions in parallel), got fed up that all estimates are about the "median user" or "median query", and benchmarked his own use. He worked out that the energy cost of his CC use is about the same as working on a high-end desktop PC instead of a laptop. It's not even one order of magnitude more. If you want to convince people you're not just mourning the "loss" of a hobby that's more accessible now than it's ever been, don't try to justify it with climate misinfo.

@preya Because they don't have shareholders. Camera-based tracking is an AI feature, but they don't need to say that, because analysts at Gartner aren't gonna tell people to sell their Valve shares after poring over every word of the video.
