Re:Generative AI's Energy Needs Are Reshaping Our World by exitb on Monday October 06, 2025 @07:15AM (#45490116)
If you want to meaningfully cut your energy usage, you need to identify its biggest sinks. 8 Wh per day is about as much as an idle charger you don't bother to remove from the outlet. I've yet to hear about anyone evaporating lakes with a charger, yet we almost all leave them plugged it.

It would be better to not use this energy, but it won't move the needle either way.
