facts tend to be unconvincing when you consider fantasies like "LLMs are being powered by green energy" a reality.
Why? Hiding datacenter energy use is much harder than anything else so it's much easier to regulate.
What? Humanity has been able to measure electricity usage since the 19th century. Why do you think we couldn't do it with tech based usage?
If I understand correctly, you are saying we can both confirm LLM datacenters are using green energy, despite there being no evidence of new green energy sources, and that we're unable to track what energy they use, despite humanities relatively long history of measuring electric usage.
Dont even know where to start educating you if you think we can just "measure electricity" like it's a single pipe under your sink

It's funny that you think you have the capacity to educate anyone when you're so blatantly misinformed.
Lmao the fact that you think all energy is metered electricity is just peak Dunning Kruger. Get blocked troll.
Ah so you think datacenters aren't metered. What an interesting existence you live in.
P.s: it's Krueger. Not kruger
