Generative Ai is such a drain on our resources. While I am happy this is bringing about more green energy sources, watching it be poured into such meaningless bullshit is depressing.
Well, AI models will improve and so will the hardware. Hopefully that means down the line, Ai will run on pretty conventional hardware and there will be an abundance of green energy.
To be honest, I’m surprised Google/Alphabet hasn’t tried to get into running their own reactor by this point. Energy seems like the one thing they haven’t touched yet.
Probably because once you start a nuclear reactor you can’t kill the project and discard it on a whim.
Eh, that’s their software side. Google doesn’t do that with hardware infrastructure like data centers.
