Flip. I knew the electricity cost of AI was high, but the water cost is awful, too:For inference (i.e., conversation with ChatGPT), our estimate shows that ChatGPT needs a 500-ml bottle of water for a short conversation of roughly 20 to 50 questions and answers, depending on when and where the model is deployed. Given ChatGPT’s huge user base, the total water footprint for inference can be enormous. https://themarkup.org/hello-world/2023/04/15/the-secret-water-footprint-of-ai-technology

The one cost of AI we don’t talk about nearly enough: it’s seriously energy hungry at a time when we’re both trying together to decarbonise and increase our energy security.New solutions needed… https://nextconf.eu/2024/04/ai-needs-new-energy-and-lots-of-it/?utm_medium=owned_social&utm_source=li_blog

The nice thing about EV tech developing so fast is the realisation that my current EV - good though it is — is probably the absolute worst EV I will ever own.Things will only get better from here. https://www.coffeeandcomplexity.com/petrol-shock-and-charging-into-the-future/

I’m slightly obsessed by the idea of using #LLMs in an adversarial way to make us better: https://onemanandhisblog.com/2024/04/adversarial-ai-a-tool-for-self-improvement-in-journalism/#AI

This is awesome.A couple of months ago, researchers found a huge area of ancient seaweed off the Cornish coast. What’s the significance of 900 rugby pitches of maerl? It could be a valuable blue carbon store:"Blue carbon is carbon that is captured and stored in marine habitats, and is considered by some scientists to be vital in helping balance climate change." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-68450750

The @index team (The ActivityPugs) are edging towards a beta… I get the sense that it's "edging towards" in the same way a pug edges towards a much larger dog that might, in fact, attack and delete all their doggy data.

@index If you're choosing the smallest, does that make them the Inactivity Pugs?
