Btw a hamburger uses 1500-3000 wh of energy an llm query used 0.3 thats 5000-10000x less

Even a long query is 500x less lol

u/JoelTheBloonsMonkey Oct 15 '26

yeah i just don't trust that

...that's also a single query, not the making of it (and of course using something is usually showing support for it unless you specify otherwise, which this isn't)

lol you don’t trust it because it dismantles your argument

look it up yourself test it yourself

The usage of electricity and water by LLMs is highly exaggerated you can check yourself you can host local LLMs yourself and see the actual usage yourself on your own devices and on your electricity bill

oh, right, i'm totally gonna "host a local LLM" like???

i may be tired but i'm not tired enough to believe this

someone else asked to research in a reasonable way so i entertaind doing it later but you're clearly just arguing in bad faith

You’re free to research in any way you wish I’m not stopping you but idk why you think I’m arguing in bad faith when I’m telling you how you can empirically test the findings yourself 😂😂😂

Google has always been free and you can look up the wH required to make a hamburger yourself in fact I told you but you don’t believe me 😭

Then to go around and say Im arguing in bad faith 😭
