> On my computer, to create a new 4096-bit key takes about a second, in a single thread. For something I now have to do fewer than 8 times per year. On a 16-core CPU with a TDP of 65 watts, we can estimate that this took 0.0011 watt-hours.

but you think think it would take a decade for the entire internet to use as much power as a single AI video?

No, doing out the math I see I was being hyperbolic.

That one AI video used about 100kWh, so about four days worth of HTTPS for the whole internet.
