Saturating Claude Max x20 it'd be like 15kWh/day, so like driving 50 miles in a Tesla or 15 miles in a non-hybrid Toyota or eating 3 beef steaks[1]

[1]: if I read it right, it takes about 20 kWh to produce one 1kg of boneless beef: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0308521X1...

Yes, I asked Claude and it estimated 10-50 kWh if you max out Max 5x subscription (which I have, and I use it about 30-40%).

Further estimation gave it's about like having another gaming PC, i.e. 100-300W when I am actually gaming.

I live quite low carbon intensity lifestyle, don't travel much, don't have a car or a family, so it's not really a big expense.
