    The energy use is quite tiny

    It literally is not. If you’re talking about interacting with trained models, then sure but that’s a different thing altogether. That’s not what the energy use problem is.

    Meh all of it is very unconvincing.

    Maybe you haven’t taken the time to read the articles. Or perhaps climate, ethics, and economic disaster don’t mean very much to you. Which - maybe that’s the case, but you also can’t say they’re not huge problems. You can say “i don’t care” but that’s different than “these facts aren’t real.”

      Source? Because all datacenter and compute never even reached double digit percentages of our overal energy use. Thats including crypto currency too. To me thats not a serious number to start panicking yet, it’s energy use as any other and we can totally handle it.

      You seem to be missing the point that source of energy is what’s creating the problem not the energy use itself. We’ll never need less energy and to assume that the markets would ever just step back here is invredibly childish. You’re gonna whine about every new invention that uses electricity now?
