Environmentally-friendly AI? Is there such a thing?
After avoiding AI/LLLMs like the plague, I've been asking Duck.ai some fairly detailed questions, and have been, admittedly, pretty impressed with the results (after checking its references of course). For an oldster like me, it turns the search process on its head: a regular search turns up x hits, and I try to choose what appear to be the most reputable sites among them to find an answer, and then dig through text to find it; now I'm given the answer right away, and then I just have to check and make sure that it's actually correct.
Anyway, Mrs. Erinaceus keeps reminding me that AI sucks up huge amounts of energy (and water, too, apparently), much of it not from renewable sources. So my question is, is there any "acceptable" AI that has a good reputation for not serving slop and is also easy on the environment? Should I even be using AI at all? Mainly concerned about the environment here, I like to think I've been round long enough to have relatively well-developed bullshit detectors. Obviously want to avoid Big Tech LLMs too, unless there's some way of using them without them getting any benefit from it.

If you run it on your own hardware then you know exactly how much energy it's using. Some of the models can even run on the average computer, but the quality is not great.
The problem we have right now is where everyone is trying to use generative AI for everything, all the time, even for basic takes such as googling for a fact, simple math that could be done on a calculator, etc. They're also often using the latest and greatest AI models, which are powerful and spend a lot of processing power each time. In order to run the servers to respond to all that, companies use a large amount of power, and then use water to cool the servers. That's the water usage from what I understand.
So if you use a simpler / more efficient model, and only use it for tasks where it's better than conventional tools, you'll be doing much better power usage wise.
Thanks! 👍
BTW, are the Chinese way ahead of the US in this like they are with renewables and electric cars? They'll probably figure out a way to have AI use significantly less power before "we" can.
The real power consumption cost is from the model training. The marginal cost of running a query is small. Unless you use LLMs heavily, you probably use more power in many other ways, like if you forget to put your computer to sleep.
More training means better models, generally. If you want to minimize that, look for smaller models on HuggingFace that are more tightly focused on whatever task you have at hand.
Or, you could just do most of your queries when your local electricity mix has more renewables.

Meta’s banning of two anti-Zionist comedians from Instagram is the latest example of Big Tech’s deep anti-Palestinian bias
The Instagram account of a well known anti-Zionist Jewish comedian was deleted after Meta’s Public Policy Director for Israel and the Jewish Diaspora viewed one of his stories. This is just one example of the anti-Palestinian bias across Big Tech.

'It's obvious that users are frustrated': consumer rights group accuses Microsoft of not providing a 'viable solution' for Windows 10 users who can't upgrade to Windows 11
- Microsoft recently threw a lifeline to consumers, offering alternatives to paying $30 for extended support for Windows 10
- Public Interest Research Group thinks this doesn't go far enough in terms of avoiding an impending e-waste calamity
- The organization suggests Microsoft considers providing longer-term support for Windows 10, or relaxes the spec requirements for Windows 11

Revealed: the far-right, antisemitic men’s club network spreading across US
Old Glory Club has at least 26 chapters with participants including military personnel, lawyers and civil servants
A nationwide US network of dozens of far-right, men-only fraternal clubs has what members describe as “literally hundreds” of participants who include past and currently serving military personnel, lawyers, civil servants, and prominent antisemitic influencers, a Guardian investigation can reveal.
The Old Glory Club (OGC) – which has at least 26 chapters in 20 US states and until now has drawn little attention – exemplifies the alarming rise of organized racist political groups in the past few years but especially during the rise of Donald Trump and his return to the White House.
The OGC network has held conferences, meetups and other events. Key members like podcaster Pete Quinones use their platforms to push far-right ideas about Jewish people and immigrants. Other members have used their platforms to respond to political events, and to advocate measures including “cancellation insurance” for members whose extreme political views might impede their professional lives.
