What you’re suggesting is “pennywise and pound foolish” if your goal is CO2 reduction. Semiconductors and Rare Earth metals are required for our best weapons against CO2 emissions, those being wind turbines and PV solar panels.
We are eroding our planet of its life by causing drastic changes to our climate, caused by burning up massive amounts of fossil fuels to power our “AI”.
Energy demands are far FAR larger than the minuscule (by comparison to other energy users) AI data center waste.
Not stopping now will only add more Co2 emissions to our planet’s atmosphere, which will increase global temperatures.
Fossil fuel lovers will back you 100% on reduction of semiconductors as it means a lock-in for electricity generation to mostly fossil fuels.
