ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI in San Francisco, California, is already consuming the energy of 33,000 homes. It’s estimated that a search driven by generative AI uses four to five times the energy of a conventional web search. Within years, large AI systems are likely to need as much energy as entire nations.

Generative AI’s environmental costs are soaring — and mostly secret

First-of-its-kind US bill would address the environmental costs of the technology, but there’s a long way to go.

Just thinking this disposable vape ban is gonna hit me bad. Thoughtless tossers have provided me with dozens of free rechargeable lithium batteries for my projects.

I’m proud to be part of the OpenUK New Year Honours list for 2024 - recognising my contributions to Open Source software.

Open Source software is important and it’s wonderful to be a part of this community of people collaborating and sharing code.

This Coco Pops mug plays the music from the ad when you lift it. It is still working after 40 years!! How is that possible? I'm selling it on Ebay and wonder if it has a nuclear battery i should warn people of.🤔 #coolretro
Liminal space in Cockfosters station.
I rescued this really cute little Practica digicam from the local dump and took it on trips to the de Havilland aircraft museum and Southend pier this week. Super fun to use and photos like it’s 2004 #camera #retro

It would be much easier, if the door handle is set about 20 cm back. So the driver has to use the right Hand to open the door and turn around doing so. Not quite as comfortable, but definitely easier and cheaper to build.
This week been listening to The Lone Ranger DJing in a rub-a-dub 1982 stylee. Ribbit!!
Fucked up #AI bullshit is now appearing *in Google image search results*. Unpicking this mess is going to take years.
In the post office this week I found that postal orders are still a thing 🤔 still useful for some I suppose but expensive.
