This was posted 4 months ago, i.e. forever in LLM time. I would really like to see a fully-worked through analysis of the actual GHG cost of #GenAI in general and for coding applications specifically. Including, obviously, training, data centre infrastructure, silicon fabrication, etc.
The reason: I have trouble reconciling these numbers with the insane volumes of investment capital going into the space.

No company has announced “thanks to AI, we have the same number of employees, but we have launched zillions of new services and are growing our product lines because of all the time our people get to spend innovating.”
I don’t know why that is.

Terry GodierYesterday I wondered aloud why RSS readers look like email clients.

Hank GreenI wish the news could say things like "The whole thing that stopped world wars from happening was that everyone decided to agree to respect the borders of other countries. That's not good because it's "the rules" it's good because world wars were really bad. So living in a world where we're maybe not going to do that anymore is FUCKING TERRIFYING."
kottke.orgA short video that explains *a lot* about the modern world & conservatism. “They also want to feel normal. They want to walk around and see that most other people have made the same choice they made.” And that last line! https://bsky.app/profile/bmhughes.bsky.social/post/3m6wc33skm22z
