And the environmental cost is still lower than meat.
It’s not meat.
It’s cars and planes. We know this because we observed a drastic drop in air pollution in both 2008 (following the financial crash) and March 2020 that can be attributed to basically the entire planet no longer commuting and traveling.
That said, LLM’s water and carbon footprints are likely going to be far more devastating than meat consumption, not that it’ll matter. Everyone is still going to vote Democrat and Republican and things will steadily continue to get worse.

It’s both, and a handful of other industries. The tiny blip of dropped emissions during covid did absolutely fucking nothing to help air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. It’s just feel-good bullshit the media spread around. Travel is a significant portion of ghg emissions, very comparable in impact to meat production.
