Local llms actually have a larger environmental impact than the data centers in power usage/hardware, since they optimize for LLMs. The models are also based off essentially DDOSing half the internet by constantly scraping sites, and being trained off GPL licensed code without permission. This is a "good" use of llm, but it's more like if the hammer you're using took 2kw of power and 200ml of water every swing, you'd probably want to avoid using that hammer even if it was very helpful.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
