AI-powered searches consume roughly ten times more energy than standard Google searches.
When you’re Googling something add “-ai” (without the quotes to the end of your search string. It will skip processing the search with and AI and answer and presumably drop your Google search CO2 footprint by 90%.
Or you can reduce it by 100% by not using google at all.
Your search with any search engine will produce CO2.
I’m going back to the dewey decimal system. I’m going to need a giant card catalog
We need to go back to home pages with lists of useful websites.
So does breathing. Doesn’t mean I have to breath in Google’s nasty AI fumes.
Pichai, you fucking banchode.
Here’s Johnny!
Luckily I startet to recycle my yoghurt cups…
It can’t go with out commenting that the current US Administration is actively and irrationally hostile to any alternative forms of energy.
That regime is also against anything and anyone that threatens the oligarchy and inhibits profit-making.
It’s not irrational. They’re being paid to actively denigrate and deny the benefits of clean energy.
I mean, Trump has a weird vendetta against wind power after some wind turbines were built near one of his golf courses.
Quite a coincidence that capital and Trump have the same vendetta.
He paid to stop the construction of a wind farm in Germany because that’s what the oil execs want even if it means destroying ecosystem
I think you are confusing something here. He paid a German company to stop a wind power construction project in the US.
Both could be true at once.
They’re being evil
This is 100% green energy because they bought enough green certificates on the market.
The US does not have a functioning certificate market, does it? And ind the EU those ultra durty gas turbines are illegal for use as power plant replacement for data centres, aren’t they?
You can cheat.
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a United Nations-run carbon offset scheme allowing countries to fund greenhouse gas emissions-reducing projects in other countries and claim the saved emissions as part of their own efforts to meet international emissions targets.
Everything is pay to win nowadays…
that is the intent of capitalism
In order to count for the it must be more than a sham, though.
