Technological progress in silicon manufacturing leads to smaller chips, which send signals over smaller distances and are therefore both faster and more energy efficient. How do you reconcile this with your claim? Still, I don't think that claim is needed for this one: > The only reason to build data centres on mass is then to scale compute > massively, which increases energy consumption accordingly. I certainly have no objection to the claim that more energy is going into AI workloads as time goes on. But how much? And is it an *unjustifiable* amount? That's the question that needs to be answered. Tom _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
