How Bad Is A.I. for the Climate? Tech giants are building power-hungry data centers to run their artificial intelligence tools. The costs of that demand surge are becoming clearer.
I love how people are just now realizing that more computers will require more energy and resources. But let's add AI and track the shit out of everything and have each website to have a dozen servers to even look coherent, and put AI in cameras, cars and our toilets so we can look closer as we use up all our resources
To even write this, I'm using multiple servers and the text is for sure being data mined for AI/data science/whatever's next so I'm adding to the problem by complaining
Okay, that's enough internet for me today. I hope you're all doing well

Your account has the bot flag enabled. Did you set that intentionally?

Probably less bad than Bitcoin and other crypto.

I wonder how much energy is used for doom scrolling.

I don't think flicking my thumb takes much energy.

It doesn't take much but it is actually quantifiable!
