AI: ChatGPT consumes more energy than a traditional Internet search

Published

on



Artificial intelligences (AI) have revolutionised how we create, communicate, and learn. However, it’s time to address their ecological footprint. In this video, we’ll delve into a critical aspect of AI usage: their consumption of energy and water.

💧 Data centres, where these AIs are trained, require staggering amounts of water to cool their servers. Discover how a simple conversation with ChatGPT can consume the equivalent of a small plastic water bottle. With billions of users, this has a significant impact on our water resources.

💨 Moreover, the CO2 emissions associated with these data centres vary depending on the energy source. We’ll explain how a simple change in the training location can reduce CO2 emissions by 75%. And what about the idea of “following the sun” to use solar energy continuously?

📊 Speaking of numbers, you’ll be astonished to learn how much CO2 emissions are generated during the training of these AIs. Compare, for example, Bloom and GPT-3 to see how significant the difference can be.

🌞 But all hope is not lost. AIs can also play a vital role in combating climate change, helping meteorologists predict extreme weather events or optimising industrial production to reduce CO2 emissions.

Join us for an in-depth discussion on the environmental impact of AIs and discover how you can make informed decisions about their use. Before bombarding ChatGPT with all your questions, maybe a quick browser search is a more eco-friendly option. 🤔🌿

    In Europe ( the video shows a protest against Projecto Neptuno in Montevideo , Uruguay) , in Europe if Brussels builds the 400 Gigawatts of Solar, Wind, Batteries arrays announced, that can power Desalination and AGRIVOLTAICS to solve the problem, but EU men and woman never get it going, too much soirees and raves ?

    Living in a cave is the most ecological thing we could do – oh and culling 99% of the humans on the planet. Given where we are we need all the help we can get from AI. The electronics used by AI gets more efficient every year unlike our inefficient housing stock. For example this laptop I am typing on uses 20Watts and replaces the 200Watt PC I used to use.

    ChatGPT trains its programs with everything everyone has posted on line, with every Library content, with every movie and song ever written, with every Museum content, and ChatGPT does not pay anything to anyone for their content, like all these For – Profit and Closed Source LLM based programs, all basically steal everything from everyone , and Politicians are silent , the only recourse is the Courts. The problem started first when the CEO Altman of OpenAI, ChatGPT parent , which was Open Source and Not for Profit, created an obscure subsidiary and made it For Profit and Closed Source to make deals , including one with Microsoft for $ 10 billion, and the race to steal started, in my opinion. AI must be Open Source and Not for Profit .

Gay man marries transexual in Cuban first

Published

on



A man and a transgender woman have married in what’s been seen as Cuba’s first gay wedding.

Same-sex marriages are illegal in the country, but the ceremony went ahead as planned because the bride is legally a woman after undergoing Cuba’s first state-sanctioned sex change operation in 2007.

“I think the Cuban government has really politicised this. I haven’t wanted to turn this into a circus, much less something political,” said bride Wendy Iriepa.
