💡 Sam Altman reveals ChatGPT energy use: 0.34 watt-hours per query (1 second of oven use) + 0.000085 gallons water (1/15th teaspoon). The true cost of AI conversations 📊 #ChatGPT #AI #EnergyConsumption #SamAltman #OpenAI #TechFacts #AIImpact #Sustainability

🔥 Oh joy, another “revolution” in AI where we pretend our computers are brains, except they're not, and they never will be. 🔋💸 Let's burn through enough electricity to power a small galaxy and then claim we're saving energy. 🌌💡 Neuromorphic computing: when marketing meets science fiction. 🤖🙄

🔸 MIT Technology Review provided a comprehensive per-query energy analysis for AI text, image, and video models, accounting for hidden infrastructure and cooling costs.
🔸 AI’s energy demand is rapidly escalating – Meta and Microsoft are eyeing new nuclear plants; OpenAI’s Stargate initiative proposes $500 billion for up to 10 data centers; Apple plans $500 billion in US manufacturing and data centers; Google will spend $75 billion on AI infrastructure in 2025.
🔸 From 2017 to 2023, data-center electricity consumption doubled, now consuming 4.4 % of US power, with a carbon intensity 48 % higher than the US average.
🔸 Inference (serving user queries) consumes 80–90 % of AI’s computing power, surpassing training workloads.
🔸 Text-model inference energy – Meta Llama 3.1 8B uses ~57 J GPU (114 J total) per response; Llama 3.1 405B uses ~3,353 J GPU (6,706 J total).
🔸 Image generation – Stable Diffusion 3 Medium (1024×1024) uses ~1,141 J GPU (2,282 J total); doubling diffusion steps roughly doubles energy.
🔸 Video generation – CogVideoX’s older model used ~109 kJ per 5 s clip; its newer higher-quality version uses ~3.4 MJ per 5 s.
🔸 A hypothetical day of 15 text queries, 10 image attempts, and 3 five-second videos consumes ~2.9 kWh (≈10 minutes of microwave or 100+ miles on an e-bike).
🔸 Data centers rely on ~60 % fossil fuels, 20 % nuclear, 20 % renewables – often tapping dirtier grids that run 24/7.
🔸 Carbon intensity varies by region and time (e.g., California 70 gCO₂/kWh by day vs 300 gCO₂/kWh at night; West Virginia much higher).
🔸 In 2024 US data centers used ≈200 TWh; AI-specific servers ≈53–76 TWh; by 2028 AI could demand 165–326 TWh/year, enough for 22 % of US households.
🔸 Closed-source model providers share little data, creating “black boxes” that impede accurate energy and emissions planning.

#AI's energy footprint is growing fast; each #ChatGPT query may use 0.3Wh, adding up to over 109GWh annually for a billion daily queries! Adding images boosts that even more. How will AI scale #sustainably?

🔥⚡ Elon Musk’s AI Ambitions Spark Environmental Concerns

Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, is under scrutiny for operating 35 unpermitted methane gas-burning generators at its Memphis facility, generating approximately 420MW of electricity—enough to power an entire city. Community advocates and environmental groups accuse xAI of violating the Clean Air Act.

🤖 ⚡ It takes ten times more electricity for ChatGPT to respond to a prompt than for Google to carry out a standard search. Still, researchers are struggling to get a grasp on the energy implications of generative artificial intelligence both now and going forward.

@fuchsiii @grumpygamer oftentimes said cores ain't even "dedicaded" but shared...

• In the case of #CyberBunker they literally sold #Nehalem(-EX) hardware to customers (cross referenced by datasheets/specsheets and the fact they never updated the listings in 15+ years!)

"shared core VPS" are a very big mistake, espechally on Hosters like #Hetzner...

• Ask me how I know!

So OFC said systems are overworked, espechally the convenience-based options where one just shoves on files and tells it to "bake it"...

• OFC it shouldn't be the responsibility of a #GameDev to #DIY one's own #CI / #CD infrastructure, and I think given the size and complexity of said games it would be overkill to do so.

If feasible, just grab' yourself a decently performing PC/Server/Laptop you can chug in a closet, SSH/RDP onto and use it as "build servant" ("Rechenknecht") to run your builds and then sent a notification once done.

• Since speed is of no real concern, but #EnergyConsumption is (@€0,33/kWh), I got some #fanless #ThinClient as a #MiniServer with some external SSD plugged into USB 3.0

In #Brandenburg bei #Nauen wird ein 200 MW #datacenter gebaut. Die Integration klingt erstmal gut. Erneuerbare, Energiespeicher Anschluss an Fernwärme.

Ich hoffe, sie haben auch den Wasserverbrauch im Griff. Eigentlich gibt es da genug.

@c_9 this is a known ecological issue but no one wants to respond to comments or questions about the extraordinary amount of energy AI consumes to produce what it produces.
