    All the while as we roast to death because all of this will take more resources than the entire energy output of a medium sized country.

      we’re rolling out renewables at like 100x the rate of ai electricity use, so no need to worry there

        Yeah, at this rate we’ll be just fine. (As long as this is still the Reagan administration.)

          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
