An impulse: Maybe today there could be a day not to use #AI at all? #noAIday Just for one day. As the energy wasted could be used to help our home to heal. We are currently heading full speed into a #climate #catastrophe if we continue to #work like that.

Paying corporations to steal art for you is shitty.
Like, pay the artist or just regular steal it??? Or like ask to negotiate a use license?
It has such a "ok to buy the deed bc the indigenous people have been moved" vibes.

What Americans think about the #Environmental impact of #AI, according to a new poll

WASHINGTON (AP) — "As the United States rapidly builds massive #DataCenters for the development of artificial intelligence, many Americans are concerned about the environmental impact.
"Worries about how AI will affect the environment surpass concerns about other industries that worsen #ClimateChange, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago.
"The results of the poll, conducted in September, suggest that as AI reshapes work, communication and culture, it’s also sparking anxieties about how the growing energy demands could further harm the environment.
"It takes massive amounts of electricity to power AI. Electricity consumption from data centers is set to more than double globally by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. The United States accounts for by far the largest share of the projected increase, followed by China. In many places, the electricity for data centers will come from power plants that burn #coal, #oil and #NaturalGas. Burning these #FossilFuels for electricity emits carbon dioxide, trapping heat in the atmosphere and warming the planet."

A new poll finds that as the United States rapidly builds massive data centers for the development of artificial intelligence, many Americans are concerned about the environmental impact. The AP-NORC/EPIC poll finds that worries about how AI will affect the environment surpass concerns about other industries that worsen climate change. The results suggest that as AI reshapes work, communication and culture, it’s also sparking anxieties about how the growing energy demands could further harm the environment. In many places, the electricity for data centers will come from burning fossil fuels, especially natural gas, which warms the planet.
I wish every AI activity had compulsory information along these lines attached:
This request required this much energy to be completed. Plus monthly reports for every account.
We know the CO2 equivalent of our travels, this should be much easier to do
Ummmm... Not everyone!
"Altman's statement reflects optimism about the usefulness of future AI systems, but despite warnings of an AI bubble and criticism of the underlying technology, there is still actual unmet demand for generative AI capacity today. ChatGPT serves 700 million weekly active users, more than double the US population, who regularly use the AI assistant to develop software, provide personal advice, and compose or edit correspondence and reports. While the outputs may be imperfect at times, people apparently still want them."
Why does #OpenAI need six giant data centers?
OpenAI's new $400 billion announcement reveals both growing AI demand and circular investments.

[How many of these places are low on water resources? Quite a few!!!] "The five new sites will include three locations developed through an OpenAI and #Oracle partnership: #ShackelfordCounty, #Texas; #DoñaAnaCounty, #NewMexico; and an unspecified #Midwest location. These sites, along with a 600-megawatt expansion near the flagship #Stargate site in #AbileneTx, can deliver over 5.5 gigawatts of capacity, which means the computers on site will be able to draw up to 5.5 billion watts of electricity when running at full load. The companies expect the sites to create over 25,000 onsite jobs.
"Two of the sites will be developed through a partnership between SoftBank and OpenAI. One site in #LordstownOH, where #SoftBank has broken ground, is on track to be operational next year. The second site in #MilamCounty, #Texas, will be developed with #SBEnergy, a SoftBank Group company. These two sites may scale to 1.5 gigawatts over the next 18 months.
"The new sites will join the flagship Stargate campus in Abilene, Texas. Oracle began delivering #Nvidia hardware to that site in June, and OpenAI has already begun training (building new models) and inference (running #ChatGPT) using the data center."

An HVAC home audit is a thorough inspection made by a professional HVAC home auditor who seeks to discover any possible improvements to your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
So who could guess that the power consumption of LLM querying is largely because it assaults all we have ever learned about delivering content at internet scale.
Since all that LLMs are are overcomplicated ways to deliver content that already exists with low quality (in terms of accuracy and often relevance).
At the same time web search has also degraded mostly because of the removal of query parameters as well as the polluting of content.
It’s 25 °C right now, and the assholes neighbors have the A/C on 🤬
Electricity should cost way, way more.
