Whether you like it or not, we are burning a lot of electricity on datacenters. That is a fact. And energy consumption is likely going to significantly increase in the near future. If we can reduce that energy usage, that is a good thing and a big improvement. I do not think I even understand your complaint. Different people can work on different problems. We do not have to pick only one. > My improvement is more important than yours. We can just do both. | ||

We don’t do both. We spend trillions on AI. | ||

Reducing consumption is just a case of using A) smaller models and B) not shoving AI into everything, e.g. ads, search results, email summaries | ||
