    I thought the statement was more about how much energy it costs to run AI while the planet burns.

      But the reason the planet burns is because of how we generate the energy, not because of using energy. I’m not defending all these fucked up greedy corporations and their use of AI, machine learning, LLMs or whatever crap they are trying to get us to use want or not, but our real problem is based on energy generation, not consumption.

        yeah it’s all the evil power companies’ fault.

        I take it these ai’s are coming up with the solution to the cheap, clean energy problem that has escaped organic intelligences for the past 50 years.

        I think the EV fanatics all learned about the magic electricity grid from the same people, but i still don’t see all EVs being supplied with the required photo voltaic system and secondary battery to make them load and shape neutral.

        It’s not my fault that all my unnecessary short haul flights contribute of global warming , the airline should have invented a clean plane.

        Yeah you’re absolutely right but the fact is, we’re burning through energy at a massive rate to power processing data for AI.
