Is Academia a Ponzi Scheme?
The life of a professor sounds like the best dream, and for a lucky few, it is. Once you get that tenured position of happiness, there really isn't much to complain about. But that's not the life of a significant percentage of those teaching college classes.…

AI 耗电量将与国家相当

训练 AI 和运行 AI 都是能量密集过程。AI 公司 Hugging Face 报告称，其多语言文本生成 AI 工具在训练期间消耗了约 433 MWH 的电力，足以为 40 个普通美国家庭供电一年。荷兰阿姆斯特丹自由大学的 Alex de Vries 指出，每当 AI 工具生成文本或图像时，它也会使用大量的计算能力和能源。例如 ChatGPT 每天运行可能需要 564 MWH 的电力。虽然，世界各地的公司都在努力提高 AI 硬件和软件的效率，以降低这种工具消耗的能源，但机器效率的提高往往会增加需求。最终，技术进步将导致资源使用的净增加，这种现象被称为杰文斯悖论。De Vries 说：“提高这些工具的效率和易用性的结果可能是，我们允许更多的应用程序和更多的人使用它。”研究人员估计，如果每一次 Google 搜索都使用 AI，每年将需要大约 29.2 TWH 的电力，这相当于爱尔兰一年的用电量。到 2027年全球 AI 相关的用电量预计每年将增加 85~134 TWH。这相当于荷兰、阿根廷、瑞典等国家的年用电量。
