Soon the AI companies will have different tiers of plan based on carbon output.

For $200 per month they’ll only use carbon-free power sources for your prompts. At $100 they’ll use nuclear, then $20 per month for coal, and then there will be a free tier where your prompts are powered by throwing baby seals into a furnace.



This may be pedantic, but I'm guessing baby seals are a renewable resource.


It would be on the same level as saying burning wood for power plants would be considered renewable. Is it "Green" now.. Two different things.
