AI Could Be Harnessed to Cut More Emissions Than It Creates

Power-hungry AI and associated data centers could make the grid cleaner, eventually cutting more climate-change-causing emissions than they produce

CLIMATEWIRE | Artificial intelligence could cut global climate pollution by up to 5.4 billion metric tons a year over the next decade if it’s harnessed in ways that would improve transportation, energy and food production

"Scientists once hoarded pre-nuclear steel; now we’re hoarding pre-AI content"

I really like this comparison. #AI really is like nuclear radiation for information, and the effects are just as global. Also, both could result in massive, perhaps existential if any of the hype from AI CEOs is to be believed, human devistation if things spiral out of control.

I just finished Karen Hao's "Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI". Best book I've read all year. It covers the history of OpenAI, from before ChatGPT to early 2025. It profiles CEO Sam Altman and several other executives. It also discusses the broader AI industry. And it's pretty darn negative! My notes here: evanhahn.com/empire-of-ai-book

"To any observer who knows the first thing about the bikes in question — or bikes in general — anything on these AI-generated YouTube channels is clear garbage with no bearing on reality. But Google, the company once known for finding accurate results as fast as possible, now relies on an AI that has no concept of "truth" — just repeating words it sees used in proximity to each other, like your phone keyboard's autocomplete or a particularly dumb parrot. As this AI tech improves in its ability to mimic reality, while still remaining fundamentally incapable of differentiating fact from fiction, channels like Bike Culture Hub will only get more convincing. Our human ability to locate facts online will be compromised, and "people at dealerships asking for features that don't exist" is about the best possible outcome. It could get far worse from there."
