Here we go again: The boom in artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing will drive a spike in energy use, the National Grid has predicted. Data centre power use 'to surge six-fold in 10 years' https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-68664182 all this power usage for shity LLM/AI to write poems, pictures, videos etc from stolen data to train AI. #artificialintelligence#machinelearning
@nixCraft If my local power company can charge me less at night to encourage people to do the laundry in off-hours... then there's no reason they can't charge these huge data centers higher rates to offset the cost of greening power infrastructure. Hell, charge them enough to offset the cost of residential power since they are using these LLMs to steal our content & replace our jobs anyway.
@nixCraft it's absolutely crucial that we burn as much coal as we can dig in order to provide shitty python interpreters and pics of osama bin laden kayaking with an extra hand to everyone whether they asked for it or not /s
