Climate@slrpnk.net•The real energy use of agentic AI / Agents use about 600x more energy than simple AI prompts1·4 days agoSome forms probably. A lot of earth observation produces better approximations using the same statistical techniques that LLMs use for producing language.

14·6 days agoThe point is that it doesn’t make sense to give up on doing the right thing here. It does make sense to market it better and reach more people
