Maths Yikes of the day - using AI to make a 5 sec video uses as much energy as running a microwave for 1 hour. Probably. We don't really know yet as companies keep schtum 👇

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.

The hallucinated books do sound pretty good though. I would read most of them. (Looking at you Boiling Point by Rebecca Makkai also yes to Andy Weir....) shame the robots made them up!
This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

The trouble with AI art isn’t just lack of originality. It’s something far bigger | Eric Reinhart
When artwork is invented by a machine, it loses its most important power: to help people connect. In an already lonely era, that is particularly dangerous
