DeepSeek is forcing a debate about how much energy AI models should be allowed to use up in pursuit of better answers. Really!

The talk of globalist, socialist central planners of the MIT! To defeat them is our mission!

"... The problem, at least to some, is that this way of “thinking” uses up a lot more electricity than the AI we’ve been used to. Though AI is responsible for a small slice of total global emissions right now, there is increasing political support to radically increase the amount of energy going toward AI. Whether or not the energy intensity of chain-of-thought models is worth it, of course, depends on what we’re using the AI for. Scientific research to cure the world’s worst diseases seems worthy. Generating AI slop? Less so. ..."
