Google, which has an ambitious plan to address climate change with cleaner operations, came nowhere close to its goals last year, according to the company’s annual Environmental Report Tuesday.

    Literally the entire point of targets is to make you implement changes you would not otherwise make. If you aren’t willing to do that, don’t set those targets.

    Falls short of climate targets for an AI that everybody rightfully shits on and is terrible. Just turn that shit off bro. Nobody needs it

    Well, at least it isn’t as frightening as I thought. Artists won’t be able to be replaced if AI runs out of power.

    So turn off the AI. Problem solved. I wonder if the AI is smart enough to figure that out?

      If Gemini has shown us anything, it’s not even useful AI. Like you said, the solution is as easy as turning it off.

      Would be funny if the first AGI commits suicide for climate reasons.

        Spends the entire revenue of the company that made it on solar panels, then commits suicide.

    And worse it feels like the parts of AI that they devote most of these resources to are the type that will only bring profit via hype but is probably a dead end.
