Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.

An estimate of the energy cost of producing one single 10 second Sora video: one kilowatt hour.

- Deplete and then recharge your iphone 17 68 times
- 10% of daily German household use
- 5.5 hours of Netflix
- ~4hrs of gaming

This is probably a huge underestimate

Someone asked: What about Netflix and online gaming - surely they use a lot of energy too? It’s a good question, and it comes up a lot whenever AI energy is discussed - and answering it helps to put AI’s energy demand in perspective. Let's start with Netflix - a credible estimate from The Carbon Trust in 2021 said that 1 hour’s streaming took around .18 kilowatt hours. So in that case, making one 10 second Sora Video takes the same as watching 5 and a half of hours of Netflix. And in case you’re wondering, watching HD or 4K makes virtually no difference. Most of that energy by far is from your own device, so a large TV takes a lot more than a smartphone. In the Sora estimate, a device is not included. Online gaming is far harder to estimate, there are no clear numbers, but I found some clues. One analysis looks at hosting Destiny 2, a popular online game, on an AWS “ng4b.16xlarge” instance. (you can find out more how I've calculated in the link below). By my estimates that will come to around 15 watts per player per hour. But again your home device is doing most of the work - nearly 20 times more. Add a Playstion or PC, that could be 250 watts, so that’s .265 Kwh for every hour of gaming. So making 1 Sora Video takes 4 hours of gaming. And it will be dozens of hours more if you use a smartphone. But with AI’s energy use, we should take a systemic view; after all, an AI model is a massive industrial system with a truly global impact. We don’t have p…

🚨job alert🚨

I'm looking to hire at least one PhD student for next year, looking at decarbonization-oriented technology deployment within an ethical frame of resource allocation and justice outcomes.

Full ad attached! Pref for CEEES admissions; deadline is 1 January.
Screenshot, job description: The “Ethical Technology Transitions to Mitigate Climate Change” program seeks one PhD student to be advised by Dr. Emily Grubert either in Notre Dame’s Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences (CEEES) program (School of Engineering) or the Sustainable Development (SD) program (Keough School of Global Affairs). This position is fully funded for four years (anticipated stipend: $36,000/year) and will be supported by the resources associated with the Ethics and the Common Good program chair for three years, with remaining funding to come from other sources that might carry additional deliverable requirements (e.g., a secondary project) that will be clearly communicated to the candidate. The primary research area for this position will focus on ethical considerations related to technology deployment for reducing and removing greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere, with a particular focus either on modeling distributional effects of particular deployment patterns associated with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions pathways (CEEES PhD) or on designing governance systems for emerging technology systems, including Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR); hydrogen; renewable electricity; or end use electrification technologies (SD PhD). Teaching requirements are aligned with the requirements of the specific degree program. Funding is available for conference attendance, and students will have the opportunity to work with and/or mentor undergraduate research assistants.
