rs_rs_rs_rs_rs··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
> non-AI things

But this is not that, the same gpus you play games with are used to run llms. How was energy consumation by gpu not a topic before llms?

> I don't think video games consume nearly as much power. A PS5's power consumption is apparently around 200W. That's not enough to run even one GPU, let alone the armada it presumably takes to run Astra.

Just Steam has 200 million monthly active users. Add Steam, PS, Xbox, and whole other devices having gpus and I'm pretty sure you at least 10x the energy consumption of all ai companies.

> you will remember that people have indeed been enraged with the environmental costs of things for a long time

Yeah? Show me the big movements against computer gaming.

>The energy costs of the cloud computing required for gaming are substantially less in power

Yes but it adds up when you consider that just on Steam alone there are 200 million monthly active users.

>How many DCs are devoted solely to gaming?

An entire planet. Just Steam alone has one or two hundres million monthly active users.

I don't understand the point of this, why just now when it comes to llms. Why wasn't anyone enraged with the environmental costs of kids playing video games. I would not be surprised the environmental cost of that is an order of magnitude bigger than what llms have.

Edit: for context, just Steam alone has ~200million monthly active users.

What I read from this is that what they have in training is not meaningfully better than current state of the art and they need more time.

It looks amazing in the beginning but with work done on 5 remote machines herdr just gets laggy after couple of hours and basically becomes almost unsable.

>ut we obviously don't want everyone to have capabilities like and beyond what caused the huggingface incident in every domain

Why not? These tools are also very useful for defense, you just need to apply them.

Read the HuggingFace postmortem, they had to use an open model because all others they tried refused to do any work.
