  1. For your consideration:
    researchers have assessed that generating a single AI image requires the same amount of energy needed to fully charge your iPhone battery. Training an AI model also requires “626,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, or the equivalent of around 300 round-trip flights between New York and San Francisco—nearly five times the lifetime emissions of the average car.”

  7. Why AI is a disaster for the climate (The Guardian)

    The technology consumes electricity at a colossal rate.

    So maybe the best hope for the planet would be for generative AI to topple down the slippery slope into Gartner’s “trough of disillusionment”.
