If you cool it, it seems to run faster for longer and it draws more power. So more power = more heat.
And I’m not talking about the heat itself, I’m talking about how we make that power. Those airconditioning units during the summer aren’t all powered by solar or wind. They add a lot of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere.
Nice to see their solution evolve. Hope they will make it a proper product that can be mass-produced for cheap.
The problem with these solutions is that this still doesn’t solve the heat problem itself. The amount of heat we produce as a civilization is immense, and moving the problem away from the product is not really fixing the issue of it still being a hot item that costs a lot of energy. If these items get put into products, it will still heat the room a lot and make other things hot that perhaps shouldn’t be. Or simply waste a lot of energy on heat. Something that might not be so bad during the winter, but in the summer it really adds up. You will kinda need to have air conditioning even if its not yet that hot outside.
Also the delay that development from MS will have for a bit will also mean that Google has some time to catchup to where ChatGPT was when this all happened. It was claimed they were a year behind OpenAI tech so that is also a major blow against them as well. I don’t expect MS to stop or to really be damaged by this news but it will enable Google to catch up a bit more. There’s also a benefit in that since it means more competition on this area for consumers/companies.
Alright, if you don’t want to discuss it anymore, there’s no need to be dramatic about it.
