What was the total energy consumption required to acheive this result (both training and running)
And, how much CO2 was released into earths atmosphere?
- ozten 2y agoCompared to all of the humans who compete at this level and their inputs and outputs for the trailing 5 years.
- balls187 2y agoAnd? The result is (likely) net energy consumption, resulting in (likely) net CO2 emissions. So, what was did it cost us for this achievement in AI? EDIT TO ADD: It's fair to think that such a presser should not include answers to my questions. But, it's also fair to want that level of transparency given we are dealing with climate change.
- regularfry 2y agoYou're not wrong and in general the conclusion is that AI emits less CO2 than a human performing the same task. Whether that's true for this specific task is worth asking, as is the question of how efficient such a process can be made.
- amelius 2y agoThere's no energy limit in the IMO rules.
- balls187 2y agoThe point isn't IMO rules. It's that we are living in a period of time where there are very real consequences of nearly a century of unchecked CO2 due to human industry. And AI (like crypto before it) requires considerable energy consumption. Because of which, I believe we (people who believe in AI) need to hold companies accountable by very transparently disclosing those energy costs.
- amelius 2y agoWhat if at some point AI figures out a solution to climate change?
- Sivart13 2y agoWhy would we be any more likely to implement it, relative to the solutions that humans have already figured out for climate change?
- sensanaty 2y agoWell we can be confident in the knowledge that techbros might finally take the issue seriously if an AI tells them to!
- ks2048 2y agoI know this is not an uncommon opinion in tech circles, but I believe an insane thing to hang humanities hopes on. There's no reason to think AI will be omnipotent.
- balls187 2y agoThere is not, but there is plenty of historical evidence that scientific and technological progress has routinely addressed humanities crisis du jour.

- staunton 2y agoYou mean new and incredibly effective ways to shape public opinion? I guess it might. But then someone would still have to use it for that purpose...
