Comment on Some of your AI prompts could cause 50 times more CO2 emissions than others
Witziger_Waschbaer@feddit.org 11 hours agoShockingly, several things can be bad at the same time. What do you think will happen to places that already tend to struggle with heat (like quite a few places in the middle east), if they get even warmer? What will happen to the people that live there? Will they be able to move to colder places? Or will they simply run into borders? Borders, which are protected by more and more money and weapons (and drones controlled by AI, funny, huh?)?
Humans love to live in places that aren’t suitable for their life.
People in some parts of Europe, Russia, North America live in places where without heating, they would simply cease to exist. Same for places in the middle east, people in Qatar and UAE live in places where without AC, they would cease to exist.
Both ways of living is harmful for environment. Maybe we should reevaluate where we live.
They should live in temperate climate instead, so irresponsible, they need to let go of the past and more forward, to greener places.

You can run a model locally on your phone and it will answer most prompts without breaking a sweet, it’s actually way less energy than googling and loading the content from a website that’s hosted 24/7 just waiting for you to access the content.
Training a model is expensive, using it isn’t.

Nice claim you have there. Do you have anything to back that up?
If it’s so easy, it shouldn’t be hard for you to link a model like that.

Can you link me to what model you are talking about? I experimented with running some models on my server, but had a rather tough time without a GPU.

I would like to learn about this a bit more, I keep hearing it in conversations here and there. Do you have links around studies/data on this?
