Climate@slrpnk.net•The real energy use of agentic AI / Agents use about 600x more energy than simple AI prompts1·7 days agoSome forms probably. A lot of earth observation produces better approximations using the same statistical techniques that LLMs use for producing language.
The fundamental reason I don’t expect LLMs to go away is that they wildly increase software engineers productivity. It’s a lot more cost effective to give an engineer an LLM than it is to give them a team subordinates.

Climate@slrpnk.net•California’s climate cowardice | At the moment California should be accelerating its clean-energy transition, its leaders are surrendering to Big Oil.12·11 days agoIt’s a big problem that his successor is almost surely going to be Xavier Becerra who is very much in Big Oil’s pocket

Climate@slrpnk.net•Europe’s Summer of Reckoning Is ‘Just the Beginning’12·16 days agoThe US has the same forest fire problem, and it disproportionately affects Republican-leaning areas. It’s just him favoring the oil industry over everything else because they pay big bribes

Climate@slrpnk.net•Why Europe is warming twice as fast as the global average | The wildfires sweeping France and Spain this week are the largest blazes either country has faced in modern history.1·16 days agoA big part of it is just that it’s land and in the northeen hemisphere.

Climate@slrpnk.net•‘Climate hushing’ has swept the Democratic Party. New polling suggests it’s a mistake. Climate change might not be a top priority for voters, but keeping quiet about it might backfire.1·17 days agoNot talking makes it a lot harder to take action.
