@technologyreview.com published an ambitious package on AI & energy today that reveals new insights into how much electricity generative AI really uses — & what it all means for the climate.

Please be sure to check out the main piece by @jamesmodonnell.bsky.social ‬& @caseycrownhart.bsky.social
We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.
The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

Is anyone else using PredBat?

It's an astonishing piece of free software than can control the charging & discharging of your battery based on various inputs; solar forecast, carbon intensity, tariff pricing (import & export), in house usage and much more.

I finally got it set up over the weekend.

What a wonderful event so far with a brilliant group of people.

I've heard talks from #ozchem ists from biosensors through to large scale Aluminium refining.

Some amazing learnings from fundamental to applied #electrochem!

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
