the planet is on fire and people can’t afford air conditioning, surely this is the time to come up with a technology nobody asked for and nobody wants then dedicate all the electricity to maintaining it

I think it's true nobody wants AI, but also 80% of everyone I know is using it. Both these things are true.

Stop saying it is “AI” because it isn’t. I fully understand how an LLM works and I still say that calling it a glorified Markov chain is being very gracious.

The AI facility in Musk’s new Gigafactory in Texas will house 50,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs. Each one consumes about 3,740 kWh annually. So *just to power the GPUs,* Musk will need 187GWh per year. This is higher annual consumption than some entire countries.

A complaint about any particular use of electricity, or water, or gummi bears, is really a complaint about externalities not being correctly priced into commodities. Let's fix the fact that fossil fuels don't pay for their externalities! The rest will balance out.

BC has a nearly fully renewable electricity grid. But electricity makes up less than 20% of the power we use. To get to net-zero, we have to build enough electricity generation to replace most of the rest of that 80%+. It will be tough AS IS without wasting massive amounts of energy on “AI”
