@warandpeas is nice but I absolutely hate this bs AI search that I cannot remove
@Alejandro_P @warandpeas
yeah. allegedly their current AI is green (i doubt it, but that's a post of its own), but for well over a year they just used OpenAI, which is definitely not green.
lost all faith i had in them after that.

@Yuvalne
Found the below post, where they claim they use Mistral, which *maybe* uses the French power grid, which is very much low-carbon¹.

But, and that's a very large “but”, AI is not effective computationally (see the Claude Code leak), thus energetically.

And that is power we could use somewhere else, like electrifying carbon emitting industries.
