Sure, but it was the best tool for science/technology searches, in the hand of an expert user. I'm still salty all subsequent search engines were inferior in that respect.

Abstract

The net climate impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) depend largely on how its applications propagate through competing energy pathways. Predominant analyses examine the relationship between datacenter energy demand, renewables optimization, and demand-side efficiencies, but insufficiently address how AI also reshapes fossil fuel supply economics. We instead model AI as a bidirectional productivity amplifier in a global computable general equilibrium model, quantifying both enabled emissions from fossil fuel productivity gains and avoided emissions from renewables productivity gains. Under parallel adoption scenarios, net annual CO₂ emissions increase by 0.47–1.8 gigatonnes (1.2–4.8% of 2024 global energy-related CO₂ emissions). Enabled emissions exceed avoided emissions whenever fossil-sector gains are nonzero; net emissions reductions require renewables gains 4–5× greater than fossil fuel gains. Absent policy steering, AI’s modeled effects increase the carbon intensity of the global economy and reinforce fossil fuel incumbency—outcomes that current analytical and governance frameworks do not fully capture.

AltaVista's advanced search (e.g. the NEAR statement) was extremely effective. Google was never as good even in its best days, nevermind now.

Attribution of cyberattacks is notoriously difficult, so this is best considered propaganda.

Renewable infra isn't sustainable, since it can't be built with renewable energy alone. As such it's just a fossil multiplier. I make about 2/3rd of my own net power, since my electricity meter is old enough to run backwards. I can't install more orelse my meter would read negative. I intend to run a Qwen model that fits my 8 GB HBM Radeon card as an experiment during the day, starting end of this month.

If this works I consider running something hotter, and double my PV capacity. Adding AC or an EV would be another option. None of this is sustainable, but not exactly a fantasy.

Are you very sheltered? NEETs are sure a hot commodity on the meat market.

This whole situation is caused by fascists in your government. Which shouldn't be frustrating, but rather galvanizing to action.

Network stack still not multicore?

You're not understanding what standing on the shoulders of giants means. Locally hosted open weights models are free/libre and puts you in control of your data. Since we're talking about hilariously stupid.

Why should one bother?

Consors bank app works, but I prefer hardware TAN generators and a desktop browser.

The fact that you immediately descend into ad hominems indicates that you're a just another troll that should be posting from hexbear.

Hope these bots are paying customers, then.
