Very high. But since they provide actual utility as opposed to the overwhelming majority of the current usecases for generative language models, it doesn’t seem relevant here.


I lived in the tropics where it was hotter than the USA and we survived just fine without A/C.

A/C is luxury and your luxury is destroying the planet. I don’t want you to stop using A/C but I would like people to accept that it is a luxury that is not needed in most cases.


There's times and places where you can't survive "just fine" without AC. And the number of those times and places is increasing.


Funny most of the world lives just fine without A/C. It really is an American thing.


Questionable in many cases. A bunch of stores have their A/C on full blast while keeping the door open in the summer. You can actually get fined for this in NYC now but in other US cities it’s still the norm.
