@troed@swecyb.com @mu@mastodon.nz @eff@mastodon.social that's not a particularly reassuring article

@troed@swecyb.com @zz_james@mastodon.social @eff@mastodon.social that's a pretty dishonest article in general: 1. It just talks about data centres as serving requests, where there is a very large chunk of power going to training models 2. "AI demand is growing fast" I think there is a citation needed on that one. It also doesn't address your statement that running models locally is better.
