Generative AI’s environmental costs are soaring — and mostly secret - eviltoast
First-of-its-kind US bill would address the environmental costs of the technology, but there’s a long way to go.

one assessment suggests that ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI in San Francisco, California, is already consuming the energy of 33,000 homes. It’s estimated that a search driven by generative AI uses four to five times the energy of a conventional web search. Within years, large AI systems are likely to need as much energy as entire nations.

      Ah, so you agree.

      Good.

      I will make sure that when queer people or children are brought up in future and you get involved to note you don’t care about queer people or child abuse. I’ll also mention that you think that people can support genocide by existing and warn people that you are talking to that you believe they are guilty of supporting genocide because they exist.

      Nice to know what to do from now on.
