    Environmentally or economically? Actually, which one you mean doesn’t matter, cos it’s not either way:

    • A.I. Could Soon Need as Much Electricity as an Entire Country
    • Microsoft Lost $20 for Every $10 Copilot AI Subscription

      That second one is hilarious, because base CoPilot is absolute garbage. Less helpful than Intellisense.

      I’ve had some very niche use cases for CoPilot Chat, but even that is just hidden away gathering dust most of the time.

      The first hysterical one is based on metrics the actual paper says almost certainly won’t apply and that if they’re run on the incoming generation of gpu will be orders of magnitudes more efficient.

      I guess you’ve never heard of loss leaders for the second.

        I guess you don’t understand what sustainable means.

        “loss leaders” is how you end up with enshittification.
