    Nonsense. I run my own home hosted Ollama AI server 24/7. But I don’t claim it to be green tech in any way. Talk about strawman, I don’t see any claims regarding the worth of AI, perhaps I missed it?

    Fun fact, smaller model LLMs can run on Pi5 at not untolerable speed. Could work on solar I suppose.

      You’re focusing on their use of AI, and that doesn’t make sense. AI is a technology that exists. Search engines and RAG is one of the better ways to use it. They are a search engine, why would they not use it?

      They’ve planted over 200 million trees, produce twice as much energy than they consume and have given over €90 million to green causes. They’re a non-profit company that gives 100% of their profits towards green initiatives, planting trees and investing in solar. It’s hardly greenwashing.

      What does the power usage of their search engine services matter if they’re producing more energy than they consume? Your complaint just doesn’t make sense.
