    one viral AI avatar or “Barbie Box” image can consume enough energy to fully charge an electric car several times.

    A Model 3 battery is ~200,000 kiloJoules.

    Absolute worst case for an image, even taking extreme estimates and amortizing out all the training, is like 20kJ. Maybe 60kJ for a slop video that takes under a minute to render, which is on the order of browsing Lemmy on a laptop for a bit.

    I don’t think anybody turns their phones on thinking “I wonder what halfbaked AI generated video i can watch now?”

    AI slop is a different topic.

  oh fuck off with that logic, a message needs a platform to be heard. Yelling at the top of your lungs about the axe-murderer isnt going to get you anywhere if you’re in his basement with the bodies. Get on his roof and yell

    They could always use a poster…

      “But the trees used to cut that poster and the glue used to put it up, along with the lighting needed to make it visible at a distance would incur unforgiveable costs on this planet…”

      It IS a poster with a backlight that was already there.

      This isn’t BP throwing out a million dollar PR campaign to improve their image after polluting the ocean, this is a university putting out a PSA to drum interest about sustainable ways of using our digital devices.

      They printed a poster and an rented an illuminated poster board that was already there to do so

        What exactly is this PSA telling people? The message seems to just be “we’re doing vague sustainability research”.

        I think this could have been a spam email and it would have achieved the same outcome

    This isn’t a worth while message.
