Wiredfire@xs4me2 @LillyHerself not “this” unless backed up with data about how these various data centres source their energy.
Many have been and are increasingly using sustainable power, mostly because it’s actually more cost effective most of the time and they can do a little greenwashing as a bonus.
There are a multitude of reasons to dunk on LLMs / AI but power usage isn’t the “gotcha” many think it is.

alberta is a hoax@wonka @wiredfire @beaumains @xs4me2 @LillyHerself ...and as long as privatized power providers are raising costs, that one girl with five bodacious tatas is a rounding error for the very rich...or the $7 your power bill went up for the rest of us.
