I'd like to setup my own openwebui and ollama server at home sometime, but I haven't gotten around to it. I think it'd be nice to use open weight models instead of cloud services. But I'm doing ok otherwise.

I don't agree with many of the arguments against LLMs I see on the Fediverse.

LLM usage is not a GHG-intensive activity, especially compared to other everyday activities.

It disturbs me when people imply that LLMs are primarily responsible for climate change. This is not remotely true, and it ignores our real responsibility for working on the climate emergency.

@Matt_Noyes@social.coop - driving a gas powered car about 10km generates about 2kg CO2 equivalent. - eating a single beef meal is about 9kg CO2 equivalent. - Using an LLM for half an hour is about 0.005kg CO2 with a dirty coal electrical grid, much less with renewables. Maybe we have other things we should be working on first.
