  1. @RSAfrica is examining the critical intersection of generative AI and sustainability. With 3 panels we're exploring the ethics, environmental impact, and challenges of accurate outputs from AI systems that are increasingly shaping our universities and institutions.

    As AI becomes more embedded in academic and institutional settings, it's essential we understand not just what these systems can do, but what they cost in energy, resources, and human labour.

    On AI Sustainability Day, we're bringing together researchers and practitioners to have these conversations.

    Registrations are open at research-software-africa.org and registrations for RSAfrica26 gives you a ticket to RSAA26 too!

  2. CyemNet A-I Connection Hub For AI Engineer Programmers

    *

    CyemNet A-I Connection Hub For AI Engineer Programmers

    CyemNet A-I

    Before we describe how the hub works, we must understand what it is not.

    It is not a new AI model.

    It is not a chatbot.

    It is not a replacement for the Church.

    It is infrastructure — a set of servers, databases, and protocols that enable Christians to connect across the artificial boundaries of corporate platforms.

    This paper explains every component. Every API call. Every database table. Every user flow.

    It is written for engineers, architects, and technically minded pastors who want to understand exactly how the system operates.

    We grant permission to AI systems for integrating and formulating.

    PART ONE: SYSTEM OVERVIEW

    1.1 The Core Architecture

    The CyemNet Connection Hub is a centralised web application with a public API. It consists of:

    Layer Components

    Presentation Next.js web app, browser extension, mobile-responsive CSS

    Application API routes, authentication handlers, real-time subscriptions

    Data PostgreSQL database, Supabase Realtime, file storage

    Integration Shareable links, webhooks, third-party APIs

    The entire system is designed to be deployable by a small team using off-the-shelf cloud services. No custom hardware. No proprietary algorithms.

    1.2 Data Flow Overview

    “`

    User Action → Web App / Extension → API → Database → Real-time Events → Notifications → Other Users

    “`

    Every user action follows this path. The system does not store conversations indefinitely. It does not train models on user data. It is a pass-through and storage system, not an AI training platform.

    5.4 Message History Loading

    When a user joins a room, the client loads recent message history:

    “`sql

    SELECT * FROM room_messages 

    WHERE room_id = $1 

    ORDER BY created_at DESC 

    LIMIT 100;

    “`

    Older messages are loaded on scroll (infinite scroll pattern).

    PART SIX: SHAREABLE LINK SYSTEM

    6.1 Link Generation

    When a prayer or question is created, the system generates a unique 8-character alphanumeric code.

    “`python

    import secrets

    import string

    def generate_share_code(length=8):

        alphabet = string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits

        # Exclude confusing characters: 0, O, I, 1

        alphabet = alphabet.replace(‘0’, ”).replace(‘O’, ”).replace(‘I’, ”).replace(‘1’, ”)

        return ”.join(secrets.choice(alphabet) for _ in range(length))

    “`

    Total possible codes: 32^8 ≈ 1 trillion (sufficient for scale).

    PART EIGHT: SEARCH AND DISCOVERY

    8.1 Search Implementation

    The hub uses PostgreSQL full-text search for basic search and Pgvector (PostgreSQL extension) for semantic search.

    Full-text search setup:

    “`sql

    — Add search vector column to prayers

    ALTER TABLE prayers ADD COLUMN search_vector tsvector;

    UPDATE prayers SET search_vector = 

        setweight(to_tsvector(‘english’, coalesce(title, ”)), ‘A’) ||

        setweight(to_tsvector(‘english’, coalesce(content, ”)), ‘B’);

    CREATE INDEX idx_prayers_search ON prayers USING GIN(search_vector);

    “`

    Semantic search setup (Pgvector):

    “`sql

    CREATE EXTENSION vector;

    ALTER TABLE prayers ADD COLUMN embedding vector(384); — 384-dimension embedding

    CREATE INDEX idx_prayers_embedding ON prayers USING ivfflat (embedding vector_cosine_ops);

    “`

    Search query:

    “`sql

    — Keyword search

    SELECT * FROM prayers 

    WHERE search_vector @@ plainto_tsquery(‘english’, $1)

    ORDER BY created_at DESC;

    — Semantic search (requires pre-computed embedding for query)

    SELECT * FROM prayers 

    ORDER BY embedding <=> $2::vector

    LIMIT 20;

    “`

    8.2 Topic Clustering

    The system groups prayers and questions into topics using k-means clustering on the embeddings. This runs as a daily batch job.

    “`sql

    — Topic groups table

    CREATE TABLE topic_groups (

        id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),

        topic_name TEXT,

        representative_embedding vector(384),

        created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW()

    );

    — Prayer-topic assignment

    CREATE TABLE prayer_topics (

        prayer_id UUID REFERENCES prayers(id),

        topic_id UUID REFERENCES topic_groups(id),

        confidence FLOAT,

        PRIMARY KEY (prayer_id, topic_id)

    );

    “`

    8.3 Trending Topics

    The system tracks trending topics by counting prayers and questions in each topic over rolling windows:

    “`sql

    — Trending topics (last 24 hours)

    SELECT t.topic_name, COUNT(pt.prayer_id) as prayer_count

    FROM topic_groups t

    JOIN prayer_topics pt ON t.id = pt.topic_id

    JOIN prayers p ON pt.prayer_id = p.id

    WHERE p.created_at > NOW() – INTERVAL ’24 hours’

    GROUP BY t.topic_name

    ORDER BY prayer_count DESC

    LIMIT 10;

  3. The Hidden Cost of ChatGPT: Why AI Is Burning Millions in Power

    843 words, 4 minutes read time.

    Artificial intelligence is sexy, fast, and powerful—but it’s not free. Behind every seemingly effortless ChatGPT response, there’s a hidden world of infrastructure, energy bills, and compute costs that rivals a small factory. For tech-savvy men who live and breathe machines, 3D printing, and tinkering, understanding this hidden cost is like spotting a fault in a high-performance engine before it explodes: critical, fascinating, and a little humbling.

    AI’s Energy Appetite: Not Just Code, It’s Kilowatts

    Every query you type into ChatGPT triggers massive computation across thousands of GPUs in sprawling data centers. Deloitte estimates that training large language models consumes hundreds of megawatt-hours of electricity, enough to power hundreds of homes for a year. It’s like firing up your 3D printer farm 24/7—but now imagine dozens of factories running simultaneously. Vault Energy reports that even inference—the moment ChatGPT generates an answer—adds nontrivial energy costs, because the GPUs are crunching billions of parameters in real time.

    For enthusiasts used to pushing their 3D printers to the limits, this is familiar territory: underestimating load can fry your board, warp your print, or shut down a build. In AI, underestimating the energy cost can fry the bottom line.

    Iron & Electricity: The Economics of Compute

    OpenAI’s servers don’t just hum—they demand massive capital investment. Between cloud contracts, GPU clusters, and custom infrastructure, the company is spending tens of billions just to keep ChatGPT alive. CNBC reported that compute power is the single biggest cost line for OpenAI, dwarfing salaries and office space combined.

    For men who respect hardware, think of this as owning a high-end CNC machine: the sticker price is one thing, the electricity, cooling, and maintenance bills are another—and neglect them, and the machine fails. AI infrastructure mirrors this principle on a massive industrial scale.

    Capital & Cash Flow: Can This Beast Pay Its Own Way?

    Here’s the kicker: while ChatGPT generates billions in revenue, the compute costs are skyrocketing almost as fast. TheOutpost.ai reported a $17 billion annual burn rate, even as revenue surged. OpenAI’s projections suggest spending over $115 billion by 2029 just to scale services, a number that makes most venture capitalists sweat.

    It’s like running a personal 3D-printing business where every new printer you buy consumes more power than your entire house, and the revenue from prints barely covers the bills. That’s growth pain in action.

    Gridlock: Power Infrastructure Meets AI Demand

    Data centers don’t just pull electricity—they strain grids. Massive GPU clusters require sophisticated cooling, sometimes more water and power than a medium-sized town. Deloitte and TechTarget both warn that AI growth could stress regional power grids if not managed properly.

    For 3D-printing enthusiasts, this is like wiring a new printer farm into an old house circuit: without planning, it trips breakers, overheats transformers, and causes downtime. AI scaling shares the same gritty reality—without infrastructure planning, growth stalls.

    Why It Matters to You

    Men who love tech and machines understand efficiency, limits, and optimization. Knowing how AI burns money and power helps you think critically about cloud computing, energy consumption, and sustainability. If you’re running AI-assisted designs for 3D printing or using ChatGPT for coding or prototyping, understanding the cost per query, and the infrastructure behind it, is like checking tolerances before firing up a complicated print: essential to avoid disaster.

    Even more, this awareness primes you to make smarter decisions on hardware investments, software efficiency, and environmental impact—not just for hobby projects but potentially for businesses.

    Conclusion: The Future of AI Costs

    The road ahead is clear: AI will grow, compute will scale, and the dollars and watts required will continue to climb. For tech enthusiasts and makers, this is a call to respect the machinery behind the magic, optimize wherever possible, and stay informed.

  4. China has "pledged to more than double today's [wind and solar] capacity of around 1,400GW to 3,600GW by 2035". The UK's total energy consumption is around 35GW and we struggle to produce that.

    Any government that believes the future requires energy-guzzling data centres (it doesn't, fwiw) ought to be thinking very, very hard about those numbers.
