It is such a stupid and obvious market failure that nobody has made a consumer AI LLM product that is 1. trained on consensually-acquired material 2. powered with renewable energy 3. genuinely open about its weights and models. Just achieving these things and being creator-friendly would be massive.

@anildash Sorry, #2 doesn't help if vast amounts of energy are required. The reason is that at any given time, there's only so much renewable energy available, and if a wealthy company buys it up for AI use, the electricity grid will have to burn more fossil fuel to keep up with total demand. That means that lower power approaches are urgently needed.

@not2b @anildash

We need to define “runs on renewable energy” to mean that you have to finance and install your own renewable energy infrastructure, and export enough energy to offset the times you have to consume from the grid.
