As much as I love a good satire, my experience with the Internet makes me worry that a group of true believers are going to latch onto this campaign and treat it as real, and people playing along with the satire will just be contributing to them.

#12I've wondered this for a while, why does AI use so much water? Are companies just sending the output of their liquid cooling into the drain? Most computers I've seen use a closed loop and consume no water past the original filling up
Perhaps they use evaporative cooling towers?

#13> 140Wh are needed to write a 100-word email, equivalent to 7 full charges of an iPhone Pro Max. An iPhone can write a whole email in a few seconds using a local model.
the local model needs to be trained beforehand though, right? And that's where a lot of the energy and water consumption comes from.
They cite consumption during training as a separate bullet point.

#14This must be some form of sarcasm, right? All I see is reasons to stop the waste of resources to further develop AI

#15you can also offer your body as fuel
How will that work, practically though? Could we perhaps contain human bodies in efficient gel filled bio-pods, effectively turning them into biological batteries?
That will be very boring for the humans thouhg. Perhaps a virtual reality simulation will keep them satisfied.
Let me know when you can start working on a neural jack interface to a brain.

It took me a bit to detect the irony, and I'm not particularly bad at that. This website simply reads like a lot of serious "green" propaganda.

Literally just a few days ago there was the Ai 2027 posted here that was absurd. BTW, there's an actual researches that made a LinkedIn post about that Ai 2027 article https://www.linkedin.com/posts/timnit-gebru-7b3b407_ive-just...
Re: AI Is Facing a Crisis
#19Could be an honest effort to get in the good graces of AI. Not a bad strategy if so.
Similar to Trump cabinet meetings where they all take turns praising him.

#20> Writing a 100-word email consumes about 500ml of water (17 oz).1 > 2 litres are needed for every 10 to 50 queries you make.2 Isn't this water reused? AFAIK it's just for cooling. This smells like FUD.
It should smell like a joke. Maybe you are congested or something?
