YahooNews: AI Computing Is on Pace to Consume More Energy Than India . . . (Earth Day is April 22)

Hmm sigh.

AI’s voracious need for computing power is threatening to overwhelm energy sources, requiring the industry to change its approach to the technology, according to Arm Holdings Plc Chief Executive Officer Rene Haas.

By 2030, the world’s data centers are on course to use more electricity than India, the world’s most populous country, Haas said. Finding ways to head off that projected tripling of energy use is paramount if artificial intelligence is going to achieve its promise, he said. . . .

Arm Holdings plc btw
is a British semiconductor and software design company based in Cambridge, England, whose primary business is the design of central processing unit cores that implement the ARM architecture family of instruction sets. (Wikipedia)

How did we ever get this far without AI? IMO…let’s keep a good thing going.

AI is doing actual work.
Crypto is just wasting energy for no reason. As long as that’s around, AI gets a free pass.

I wonder how many nuclear reactors it takes to power Google’s racist AI…
