That is a one time cost. Do you add the cost of every single watt of electricity ever generated, the cost of making factories, extracting materials and so on, to the “climate impact” of electrical rail service or EVs?
This is just hysteria, I’m going to be absolutely deadass with you
Also, you theoretically could make an LLM entirely on your own PC, it’d just take a bit of time
OK you walk the walk I respect that
If you could be arsed, it’s entirely possible to train an LLM with 10 PCs using strictly open source and ethical datasets available on huggingface (although not something that is going to beat SOTA models)
