Plans couldn't wait for H200 or Blackwell GPUs.

    We really need to tax energy used by GPU-burning projects differently. AI training, blockchain, whatever. Such a wasteful endeavour.

      Carbon tax, it was proposed so many years ago and it’s always been a good idea.

        By now it should be a hard carbon budget and not a simple tax that can be dodged.

          How would a budget be less dodgable than a tax?

      No significant blockchains use GPUs any more. As for AI training, that produces AIs. It’s not wasteful.
