Beim Verdrücken einer sentimentalen Träne am Ende eines großartigen #39c3 kommt jemand auf mich zu und erklärt mir jemand , der dort Daten einträgt
https://www.bundeswirtschaftsministerium.de/RZReg/rechenzentrums-register.html

Rechenzentren, wir wissen wo Eure Daten sind!

Energieeffizienzregister für Rechenzentren (RZReg)

Das Rechenzentrumsregister (RZReg) ist ein Serviceportal des Bundesministeriums für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz. Das Portal richtet sich an Betreiber von Rechenzentren. Sie sind Betreiber eines Rechenzentrums? Dann könnten Sie gemäß § 13 Absatz 1 Satz 1 des Energieeffizienzgesetzes (kurz: EnEfG) verpflichtet sein, Informationen über ihr Rechenzentrum an den Bund zu übermitteln.

My talk at the

School of Computing Science

in the seminar

Low Carbon and Sustainable Computing

in #Glasgow is public. Thanks to @wim_v12e for inviting me!

As usual an update on "Resource Consumption of Data Centers and AI"

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.

The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

Majority of #AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead End

Majority of AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead End

A survey of nearly 500 AI researchers indicated that the vast majority of them think that pursuing "scaling" won't achieve AGI.

The US export ban on AI chips has started a race to improve AI model efficiency. Yet, despite the falling costs, we should still ask whether we genuinely need AI in every lamppost and Google search.

Alibaba’s new open source model QwQ-32B matches DeepSeek-R1 with way smaller compute requirements

While DeepSeek-R1 operates with 671 billion parameters, QwQ-32B achieves comparable performance with a much smaller footprint.

AI can be a great source of development. Yet, we must ensure the new technology doesn't use up all the planet's resources.

🌱 The EU & UK consume a disproportionate share of global resources. Is it fair? 🧐 Historically rooted in colonialism & industrialization, their high consumption rates raise ethical questions about global equity. #ResourceConsumption #Ethics #GlobalEquity

This #MattRidley is a #shill.

He spouts #financialisation ie. #decoupling #economicGrowth from #resourceConsumption.

The #constructionBoom is a disaster for environment, transferring wealth to #gentifiers, #wellConnected and #speculators. Look at #GrenfellTowers, and there's huge swathes of flammable and unsustainably built trash in Australia - see #FourCorners expose + #sandMafia.

We haven't seen so much hand-wavey trash for years.

Shill might be too generous - try #liar.
