minus-squaredarius@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoHere’s one: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.02243v1 Below is an article on crypto mining, not AI, but I’d wager a guess and say you certainly can draw parallels from it: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2023EF003871 Also, whatever the source of green/renewable energy is, it takes a couple years to offset the manufacturing of said energy source: https://www.cooleffect.org/solar-carbon-footprint So even if there’s no direct source on that 10 year claim, it probably isn’t too farfetched!

Training AI models, while computationally expensive, cannot compare to crypto farms the size of warehouses everywhere around the world.
