Today, OpenAI's ChatGPT handles 2.5 billion queries per day; the electricity used is equivalent to fully charging 14,000 electric vehicles. Get the big picture on energy use as we scale up to all generative AI queries per year, both now and in 2030.
How Much Energy Does It Take to Power Billions of AI Queries?
All generative AI queries could hit 329 billion per day by 2030. See the big picture on AI's energy use and how it's reshaping our world.

This thread from @jaschasd at @AnthropicAI is a major wake-up call for early-career researchers, especially in #robotics.
We must build things that scale with intelligence, not compete with it.

Most of the "90% of code written by AI" claims come from vendors selling AI tools and lack credibility as a result
