Kent Pitman has published a new blog essay, The Triage Problem, arguing that a critical modularity flaw lies at the heart of systematic overconsumption of planetary-level resources in typical large language model architectures. The piece frames the issue as a triage question: how computing resources are allocated across AI systems. It is circulating among climate-conscious technology discussants.
Why now: Growing concern over the environmental cost of large language models is prompting debate about whether their design inherently wastes planetary resources.
