The blood of the women, children and elderly […] we are the ones who need this blood, so it awakens within us the revolutionary spirit. — Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas senior leader

  • It's absolutely a fair comparison. An LLM can't use any more than 100% of the system resources. neither can a video game. for an individual, there's no practical difference between being an avid gamer and someone who uses LLMs if you're comparing environmental impact.

    if you don't agree, then perhaps you could explain to me how using 100% of my GPU for an LLM is different than using 100% of my GPU for Cyberpunk 2077? both use cases are using the same amount of power, so how is one use worse for the environment than the other? especially since I might use an LLM for a few minutes of work, whereas I've had many, many days where I spend 8 hours or more gaming. surely my gaming causes far more damage to the environment than my using LLMs does, but perhaps you're more educated on the matter than I am and can show me otherwise.

  • LLMs as a technology are also extremely inefficient and resource intensive; by writing yourself off as “just one person” doing it we’re ignoring the global effect of many “one persons” all consuming resources by using this technology.

    the same can be said of gaming. criticizing LLMs for being resource intensive even for individual use would be hypocritical if you're not also criticising gamers for using their PCs to their full potential while gaming.
