    I’m really torn about this comment - on one hand it’s environment-destroying AI, but it also saves the need to watch a pointlessly long video that should have been an article and probably consumes as much compute as the AI summary.

      True, at least when you share the results with others, the energy used is shared between everyone.

      Sometimes I see these videos and want to know what they talk about but don’t want to throw away hours of my life listening to them. And this is the only way I get both.

      I’d really like to self host something like this so I can see how much power it’s using.

      If you want to go down that path - all of our actions online are environment destroying. This useless comment that I’m making needs to live in a datacenter somewhere, multiply that enough times and the energy needed just to have dumb conversations online is killing the planet on its own.
