Turns out the Google AI's 15-day forecasts are for the weather in Mountain View. Which I can forecast 15 days out, too.
I can beat you. I can forecast it for 16 days.

Blaming climate change on AI seems like a stretch
That’s not what I said, and taking the argument in good faith would make it obvious. Of course AI isn’t to blame for climate change, it started way before this craze and there isn’t one single culprit. But the energy consumption doesn’t help, and burning more fossil fuels to power this energy-hungry systems makes it worse, that’s the point.

each time you use your computing device to make a comment on the internet, you're emitting CO2 and accelerating climate change.
Do you understand that degree matters? Or do you think that pissing once in a river is as harmful as dumping a thousand litres of toxic waste in it?

I could live hundreds of lifetimes and not consume as much energy as Google has this year alone.

And Apple Maps at launch worked great... in Cupertino.

#175Can't we let prediction markets solve the weather forecasting problem?
Re: Google says AI weather model masters 15-day forecast
#176This is from a model from 2019! Published now on nature. Imagine what they are cooking now.

What a weird take. How is google using that much energy? Is it just for their own operations or are they providing a good or service that billions are consuming?
By using a computer you are a consumer and are complicit. Your overall contribution might be small but it’s the same exact behavior that is absolutely part of the climate change problem.

> But he said these forecasting systems are reliant on the weather prediction models that are already running, such as that operated by ECMWF.
et voilà.
Re: Google says AI weather model masters 15-day forecast
#179They can say what they want, but I get rained on by surprise rain more than I ever have in my life, now that I'm practically forced to use the built-in Google weather due to them and Apple catching and killing all the good weather apps.
My 3rd party weather app still works. What did google do?

You have zero knowledge of my consumption or my life. You also know nothing about my environmental care or actions. You’re extrapolating from my use of a computer to post comments to assume my use of energy is a net negative, which is as bad faith as it is wrong. It is possible to live in such a way that you reduce your impact to a minimum in some areas and then do a net positive in other.
Additionally, the number of people who consume Google’s services is irrelevant. Millions of people consume tobacco products too, it doesn’t make it positive.
