- goodmythical 8mo agowhat else are we going to do with them? Carve them in to housing to house more humans that produce more carbon? Leave them to rot? Wouldn't it be best to clearcut a dead forest to allow more plants to grow to increase carbon capture?
- jryle70 8mo agoHow much energy is burnt so that you can play your video games, or whatever hobbies you have?
- apsdsm 8mo agoProbably less than the cost of an LLM doing exactly the same thing?
- BoredomIsFun 8mo agoNot sure about that - a local 12b-32b LLM consumes miniscule amount of energy compared to gaming on the same hardware.
