    Does the physical location of the hardware really matter?

    Single individuals driving do not contribute much to pollution, but collectively they do.

    Shifting the hardware from a data center to your house is great for privacy and I wholeheartedly agree with that, but unless demand goes down the same or perhaps even more energy will be consumed. It’ll just be consumed elsewhere.

    Using AI to make shitposts probably isn’t the best use of energy but then again almost nothing we do is because nobody wants to live in a society with no hobbies.
