How are you using new AI technology? Maybe you're only deploying things like ChatGPT to summarize long texts or draft up mindless emails. But what are you losing by taking these shortcuts? And is this tech taking away our ability to think?
The ecological costs don’t need to be very high. We host our own LLM models at my company on a Mac Mini, which doesn’t use a ton of power and works pretty well.

Despite the ecological costs?

FWIW I did try few LLMs locally too (cf my notes on the topic https://fabien.benetou.fr/Content/SelfHostingArtificialIntelligence ) but AFAIK that is only the top of the iceberg, that LLM has been trained before and that’s a significant part of the cost.
