Quote from: Worgarthe on Yesterday at 19:30:10We, everyday people, all must reduce our power consumption to save the planet. 😱 BeCaUsE cLiMaTe ChAnGe 😱

Meanwhile:

QuoteThe capacity exclusively used for AI applications is expected to quadruple from 530 megawatts to over 2,000 megawatts.

To be fair, while datacenters make up a lot of AI, currently most AI usage is things like every day people using chatgpt. So it is a bit unfair to pretend the consumption is just companies doing AI. End of the day, people vote with their wallet and reality is most people don't care.

In the end, the ones who would suffer the most from climate change is the everyday people. The ones running companies aren't going to be bothered if food and living costs go up 100x fold.
