I mean, I know what the concept is about, and it's quite obvious what needs to be done (less!), but in a world where everything needs to be upscaled instead of downscaled, who's going to listen to the few voices swimming against the current? -At my current client, we're leveraging Kubernetes' isolated throwaway-pod system to auto-upscale and deploy clusters. Distributed---that is, _cloud-based_---enterprise solutions are without a single doubt less environmental friendly than their classic client-server counterparts: modern software is often upscaled too fast, and mordern software is needlessly complex/distributed across multiple energy consumers.

Environmentalism apparently is never a key decisive part of the engineering puzzle. The most conspicuous example is of course (yet again) generative AI. A few days ago, Nature published an article proclaiming that [Generative AI’s environmental costs are soaring---and mostly secret](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00478-x):
