> Also, the idea that energy efficiency should be a top concern basically undermines the whole idea of developing new technology. I’m sorry but this is such a dumb argument. Of course new research will burn energy - there’s no question about that. To suggest that ML is like any other development, when it’s well documented how much power these algorithms (LLMs for example) use is kind of bad faith. The argument is not that we should halt technological progress, but in doing so always be considering its impact on the planet and evaluating if it is really worth it or not.
