    Tons of work being done to improve the energy efficiency of ML models. We’re in the ENIAC days of AI right now. I’m not sure I see the problem other than that it would obviously be nicer if we could just build a time machine and steal an energy efficient AI from the year 2100? But in the real world, R&D takes time.

    Not like tons of uses for servers aren’t trivial and honestly kind of a waste. Okay, ML model’s energy use is a scandal, but Netflix and TikTok? Completely worth every joule.
