@harld@masto.ai I will keep mentioning the Jevons paradox until everybody understands what it is and how it works Making use of a resource more profitable increases the return on investment of exploiting that resource. So increased systems efficiency *increases*, not decreases, resource use. Unless your approach is to have a fixed expectation for capability and just optimize for lower and lower resource use to achieve that capability. Which is not how capitalism works, at all.
