@mevenlennonbertrand@lipn.info @jesper@agda.club ok this got me curious so I looked up some numbers
10 USD gets you 2M tokens and according to this plugin (idk what their sources are but good enough for now) it's about 0.0004 kg/1K tokens so that brings you to 800 g CO2
idk how to put that into perspective so looked up how much gets exhaled, 36 mg, and it's about 24 h × 60 min × 15 to 18 breaths/min, so that comes out to, astonishingly, also ~800 g
so yeah that's one person-day of emissions

@ionchy@types.pl @jesper@agda.club Afaiu there's huge fights over those CO2/token numbers because depending how you take training cost into account the results vary wildly?
