ยปFor more than a year now, "AI" has been the tech world's most expensive obsession.
The scramble to burn money as fast as possible is both unprecedented and utterly familiar - but not every resource is as endless as venture capital funding. AI technology's energy consumption is beginning to approach that of a small country, and it shows no signs of shrinking.
How can we reconcile our hunger to compute with the need to avert ecological devastation? Is it possible for progress and sustainability to coexist? And how can hackers help computers save themselves?
This talk brings a fresh perspective to discussions on the problems, possibilities, and future of the human relationship to computing.ยป
Thanks, good points! I meant solid ice, wrote it like that because I wanted to emphasize their states of matter for clarity thinking students might find the emphasis useful, but you're correct, that is technically redundant. Mist and snow are examples of airborne forms of water that are not in the gaseous state. Perhaps gases trapped in containers or floating in outer space could be considered not airborne if there is no air (nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, ...) to mix it with?
