As I already mentioned, the paper also uses an industry average PUE factor of 1.58, when Google's is 1.1. Other large tech companies can't be too far behind.

Which makes me wonder how far removed AI researchers are from actual production environments. I'm not faulting them, because there's only so much time in your life; the more realistic problem is when someone else takes a paper as gospel and runs headlines with it. Kinda like the trolley problem. Imagine the absurd extreme in this case of governments wanting to regulate large language models because of pollution or to level the competition playing field.
