  • yep the biggest worry isn't AI, it's India

    https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/india-co2-emissions/

    The west is lowering its co2 output while India is slurping up all the co2 we're saving:

    This doesn't include China of course, the most egregious of the co2 emitters

    AI is not even a tiny blip on that radar, especially as AI is in data centres and devices which runs on electricity so the more your country goes to renewables the less co2 impacting it is over time

  • because you also make money for yourself

    which allows you to buy things

    and not live off the state

    you are also (given the motivation) also capable of working your way up the chain and making more money for yourself which allows you to put it towards not working at all and still not living off the state

  • At the current rate yeah, it simply isn't good enough, my go to question is print Hello World in brainfuck and then it passes that have it print Hello

    <random other place>

    In this case I just asked it 'I have a question about brainfuck' and it gave an example of Hello World! Great!

    Unfortunately it just outputs "HhT"

    So I know that they are trying hard with synthetic data:

    but I think fundamentally they just need to be straight better at absorbing the data that they've already got

  • Scientists have estimated that the power requirements of data centers in North America increased from 2,688 megawatts at the end of 2022 to 5,341 megawatts at the end of 2023, partly driven by the demands of generative AI

    5341 Megawatt = 5.341 Gigawatt

    so a 2.6 GW increase, jeez that's a fair amount

    The US set a record by adding 50 GW of new solar capacity in 2024, with solar and storage making up 84% of new capacity.

    Global renewable power capacity increased by 585 GW in a single year
