@simontatham @pozorvlak I'm pretty happy to singlethink my way around the environmental costs (which are comparable to just running the computer the software you're upgrading is on...) but probably not interested in arguing the case.

@simontatham @pozorvlak There are genuine environmental concerns around training (mostly insufficient grid capacity/storage and the resulting short-term significant increase in non-renewable energy), but inference isn't any more of an environmental disaster than normal computer use.
