Given the amount of electricity training and running all these LLMs requires, they might, like cryptocurrency, become drivers of climate change as they cause polluting generators to be built or unmothballed.
So ignore it until it kills us?
I… does the UN think they’re handling climate change well and promptly?
confused. so nothing will happen, a lot of talk and EU makes a law thats only applied locally if memberstates agree?!?
So… a convention every 4 years?
Ineffective policies for the poor’s that has a negligible effect while giant corporations make billions and exacerbate the problem?
Sounds same as always. Maybe they’ll do it now with a sense of urgency?

I heard they’re drafting a resolution to sheepishly ask the US ‘why the big cars?’
“AI” is a scam that’s contributing to planetary destruction. But it’s nowhere near a problem on the same scale. This kind of political theater only fuels the “AI” BS.
I’d like to ignore it until it goes away too, but I don’t think that’s an effective strategy for either issue.

Problem resolved itself… ChatGPT is down.
« creating an AI fund to back projects in these [poorer] nations, establishing AI standards and data-sharing systems, and creating resources such as training to help nations with AI governance. »
So basically burn money and energy on some hallucinating algorithm should be as important as investing in green energy and reducing CO2 levels. That makes sense. Like, yeah, totally onboard. What could go wrong?
those ai projects will be countering the climate change projects! government at its usual
IE regulatory capture and soothing bullshit?
AI: “Put glue in your pizza.” UN: “Ow no! It’s sentient.”
Ugh, my issue is AI is a pandas box, we already opened it. Now it’s an argument of regulate technology and banning people from doing certain things on their own devices like running foss LLMs, like if we do that we can also allow bans of end to end encryption
Yeah, but those pandas sure are cute.
my issue is AI is a pandas box, we already opened it.
The big difference is that there is no “AI” box, it’s never been opened, and nothing has happened except wasting energy and foolish money.
