Beim Verdrücken einer sentimentalen Träne am Ende eines großartigen #39c3 kommt jemand auf mich zu und erklärt mir jemand , der dort Daten einträgt

My talk at the
School of Computing Science
in the seminar
Low Carbon and Sustainable Computing
in #Glasgow is public. Thanks to @wim_v12e for inviting me!
As usual an update on "Resource Consumption of Data Centers and AI"
We did the math on #AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard. | MIT Technology Review

“Why should we be paying for this infrastructure? Why should we be paying for their power bills?”
Majority of #AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead End
"The vast investments in scaling... always seemed to me to be misplaced."
#Cloudflare turns #AI against itself with endless maze of irrelevant facts
New approach punishes AI companies that ignore "no crawl" directives.
Even more #resourceconsumption in the middle

#ai #datacenter #ResourceConsumption out of control
The US export ban on AI chips has started a race to improve AI model efficiency. Yet, despite the falling costs, we should still ask whether we genuinely need AI in every lamppost and Google search.

AI can be a great source of development. Yet, we must ensure the new technology doesn't use up all the planet's resources.

🌱 The EU & UK consume a disproportionate share of global resources. Is it fair? 🧐 Historically rooted in colonialism & industrialization, their high consumption rates raise ethical questions about global equity. #ResourceConsumption #Ethics #GlobalEquity

This #MattRidley is a #shill.
He spouts #financialisation ie. #decoupling #economicGrowth from #resourceConsumption.
The #constructionBoom is a disaster for environment, transferring wealth to #gentifiers, #wellConnected and #speculators. Look at #GrenfellTowers, and there's huge swathes of flammable and unsustainably built trash in Australia - see #FourCorners expose + #sandMafia.
We haven't seen so much hand-wavey trash for years.
Shill might be too generous - try #liar.
