The power consumption of data centres (where the cloud actually is located, here on earth), are set to get even higher in the next decade....

This might just be a rather big problem....

@ChrisMayLA6 only today I was reading that are selling a system that draws a mind-bending 120kW in a single rack.

They are also bringing out GPUs that pump out more than 1kW each.

I'm not convinced the benefits of current AI applications outweigh the frankly ridiculous power consumption.

@MatryoshkaLimit @ChrisMayLA6 Wasn't reduced power consumption the big recent push in computing?

Is the launch of ChatGPT just a fossil fuel industry insurance policy?
