Healthy and emotionally intelligent humans will be killed constantly over the next few years and decades as a result of data centers poisoning the air in their communities (see South Memphis, TN), not to mention the general environmental impacts on the climate caused by the obscene power requirements. It's not an issue exclusive to LLMs, lots of unregulated industries cause reckless amounts of pollution and put needless strain on our electrical grids, but LLMs definitely fit into that category.
Agree, but then you would need to count a lot of things, and many of them would be general mass comodity like cars, electricity, heating... besides LLM's being the new thing killing us, we have stuff killing us for ages...
