More processing might result in more water use, but storage? It makes no actual sense. Having more stuff sitting in your storage isn’t making your computer hotter.
In fact, I guess creating a guideline for servers to use more efficient processors would do much more for that.
Nope. Server farms are by design made with energy efficiency in mind. You can't push them any further with regulation
It makes sense, and in the long term even LLMs will need more efficient hardware if it will stick around in affordable prices.
