The path toward sustainable AI lies in combining quantum computing with energy-efficient application design. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/04/06/world/quantum-computing-ais-sustainability-problem/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #ai #hpc #grok4 #google #un #sdgs #sqai #quantumcomputing #qubits #pasqal #electricity #powergrids #windfarms #energy

Quantum computing could fix AI’s sustainability problem

Training Grok-4 alone reportedly required 310 gigawatt-hours of electricity — enough to power a town of 4,000.

Insight: Rogue communication devices found in #Chinese #solar power inverters
Using the rogue communication devices to skirt firewalls and switch off inverters remotely, or change their settings, could destabilise #powergrids, damage #energy infrastructure, and trigger widespread #blackouts, experts said. "That effectively means there is a built-in way to physically destroy the grid," one of the people said.

When folks in Spain and Portugal have had time to recover, charge their phones, and kissed their refrigerators, I would very much appreciate reading about their experience the last 24 hours and what preparation measures (personal and communal) they would put in place in the future/ recommend the rest of is do. #PowerGrids #spain #portugal
