I wrote a new article:

"The real problem with the AI hype"

https://wimvanderbauwhede.codeberg.page/articles/the-real-problem-with-AI/

tl;dr: even if the AI hype falls flat, it will have caused emissions to go up considerably.

The article has the best estimate I have been able to arrive at for the growth in global emissions from AI data centres.

Thanks. That were very insightful calculations. Coarse, but with the advantage that it's possible to follow through.

And it's very nice to have the numbers in context! Very nice read indeed --

@christian_zerfass

Thanks, that's why I did the rough estimate as well. The better model is too complicated to explain in a blog post. I'm in the process of writing a paper about it.
