There's also the fact that it's an ecological disaster when it comes to both carbon emissions and using up potable water.

That's why, its always good to run them locally(if you use them for fun)

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's almost certainly more wasteful. The machines they run them on are going to be far more efficient.

Running it locally is better because of all the other data mining that goes along with capitalism

But usually you don't cool your PC with Freshwater. That's something a lot of datacenters do.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

That's true.

But in terms of power/emissions, data centers are far far better. The waste of potable water could be addressed if we make them, but the inefficiency of running locally cannot be.

I still prefer to run locally anyways, because fuck the kind of people who are trying to sell AI, but it is absolutely more inherently wasteful
