Not yet, not for some time, and certainly not at single local GPU running at minimal use. Both you and the commenter I was responding to seem to forget how massive the @home projects were.

Blockchain mining, completely open source and run on local GPUs, is no worse for the environment than gaming via this logic. I think that’s easily disprovable.
Don’t tell me you think Roko's basilisk is real
I must be pulling a red herring then
A point I haven’t seen yet is just general eugenics. I know OP says “no appearance or mind” but genetic diseases directly affect those. Take deafness, for example. It can be genetic and therefore could be “fixed.” The deaf community would be fucking furious (cochlear implants can be incredibly controversial). Blindness can also be genetic. Cleft lips and club feet can be genetic (or influenced by) and they can be really gnarly so why wouldn’t we fix those? And since we’re fixing things, why not fix autism and Down’s syndrome (I know we said no mind but those are truly game changers!) and oh shit now we’re in Gattaca. Eugenics is bad. I won’t fully commit to a slippery slope because that’s a fallacy; I will say very convincing science fiction has been written about this and I have seen nothing under capitalism (or communism!) that convinces me that wouldn’t happen.
Maybe you should read the article.
Assuming you read the article, which part wasn’t clear?
Kinda strange that the SCMP won’t say which analysts say this. Granted, broken clock and all that. Or this.
See‽ Easy explanation. I get it, absolutely reasonable issues, and one of several areas Linux just isn’t great with. “Too many issues to explain here” doesn’t click with me.
This rings a little hollow to me. Most of the people I know that understand Linux can quickly summarize why they might not use it as their daily driver (eg staying on macOS for graphics/video or staying on Windows for desktop Word/Excel). If you can’t summarize that quickly, it really makes me wonder if you really understand it. I’m not trying to No True Scotsman my way around it; I really don’t understand.
You’re looking for something like Nightshade. The chuds into accelerating the rapid destruction of all energy resources are aware and capable of defending so it’s not as solid. I don’t know if image datasets are scraped or manually compiled so YMMV; I do know the more poison you throw out the better.
Your last sentence is somewhat naive. It can often place the onus on the wrong group. People don’t want to engage with the XLibre dude with open minds and empathy any more because back when they did, he didn’t engage with an open mind or empathy. You can only do that for so long before you have to isolate and protect. Quarantine, deplatforming, and isolation works when someone refuses to engage. At some point you have to be intolerant of intolerance if you want to get anything done.
Scope some literature on deradicalization. There is only so much empathy you can give someone who thinks an entire group of people don’t deserve to be human and, more importantly, there has to be a cutoff when you’re not getting empathy back. You’re right, empathy and an attempt to understand is important. Don’t forget many people in marginalized or attacked groups have to defend their existence every single fucking day so sometimes their empathy is pretty drained.
