This assumes you don’t care about our rapidly depleting carbon budget.
No matter how much energy you save personally, running your jobs on Sam A’s earth killer ten thousand cluster of GPUs is literally against your own self interest of delaying climate disasters.
LLM have huge negative externalities, there is a moral argument to only use them when other tools won’t work.
It's digging fossil carbon out of the ground that's the problem, not using electricity. Switch to electricity not from fossil carbon and you're golden.
Haha, this is pretty good. I’m going to take a plane to SF while I laugh at this.
