The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K - Lemmy Today

4k is enough, 60fps is enough, no smart or AI stuff is perfectly fine…

What about reducing the energy consumption? That’s an innovation I want.

Are you aware that reducing the energy consumption on monitors is competely irrelevant compared to the giant data centers coming up now, taking as much as power as a full city?

One typical AI data center ≈ 1 TWh/year ≈ the electricity used by 100 000 average homes annually.

A very large AI data center under construction ≈ 20 TWh/year ≈ electricity for ~2 million homes annually.

Fun times isnt it.

You can care about more than one thing
Yes, sort of like if your kitchen is on fire but you also need to vacuum the living room. You should definitely focus on finishing the vacuuming before addressing the fire, because, you know, you can care about more than one thing.
Try to keep up with me here: what if you could put out the fire and vacuum at the same time?
lemme guess, you’re gonna vaccum the fire 😭

Wait, that works!?

BRB!
