I love LLMs and use them almost every day. Every new version fills me with happiness and curiosity. But honestly, I can’t stand the endless photo and video generation. After #Sora2, I feel like the internet will be flooded with digital junk. It’s like we’re building a virtual Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and I feel sorry for all the energy wasted on generating and storing this garbage.

Anyone else getting these ridiculous repo scraping spikes? A clean checkout of the https://thi.ng/umbrella monorepo is ~370MB. Over the past 14 days there were 222k clones (only 117 unique) of this repo which have caused downloads of a whopping ~78TB. WTF! 🤯

La inteligencia artificial multiplicará por 1.000 la basura electrónica esta década

Un estudio calcula que, si no se toman medidas de reducción de residuos, los equipos que quedarán obsoletos en los centros de datos hasta 2030 provocarán un importante problema ambiental
