My #RakuLang Advent blog post is out: Day 4 – Embedding a stack-based programming language in Raku https://raku-advent.blog/2023/12/04/day-4-embedding-a-stack-based-programming-language-in-raku/

If all search queries are replaced by ChatGPT-style queries, what does that mean for energy consumption and emissions? tl;dr: Emissions would increase by 60x. "Emissions from ChatGPT are much higher than from conventional search" https://limited.systems/articles/google-search-vs-chatgpt-emissions/

If you need ChatGPT to be happy, then your happiness is too dearly bought. If you don't need it to be happy but still use it, then your convenience is certainly not worth that cost to the world. This thing uses obscene amounts of energy and water, at a moment when we can't afford to spend more energy on anything, but should be cutting our energy consumption drastically. And it's only the gateway to more and more of such services.
