We're paying higher electricity costs and building more fossil fuel plants to subsidize generative AI.

AI isn't "free" now, and once we're accustomed to using it you can bet there's gonna be some hefty subscription prices.

"One particularly acute example is in Louisiana. A Meta data center under development in the northeastern corner of the state is projected to use, by our calculations, twice as much energy as the city of New Orleans. Entergy, the regional monopoly utility, is proposing to build more than US$3 billion worth of new gas-fired power plants and delivery infrastructure to meet the data center’s energy demand. Rather than billing Meta directly for these costs, Entergy is proposing to include the costs in rates paid by all customers."

Can we please have a mandatory #AICarbonFootprint visualization?
How much carbon, and energy in general, a request consumed and proportionately the previous training. Can be a daily or weekly summary too.

This thing sucks very hard.
Pun intended

Nuclear energy sucks too.
