If these guys gave a shit they'd focus on light based chips, which are in very early stages, but will save a lot of power.

you mean the IBM light chips and bus ?
I was talking about the photonic chips from Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, but looking into it the last update on that was four years ago.
I know they were entangling photons, so there's probably lots of research and parts to work on, but still, maybe it's just not moving forwards.
I'm not that familiar with the technology, but the benefits seem worthy of more news than they get.
What are IBM's efforts like?
I switched to Kagi like 6 months ago and I still love it. Almost never have to go back to google except for maps.
All of this just to give rich shareholders even more money.
I wonder what the power consumption of getting to the information in the summary is as a whole when using a regular search, clicking on multiple links, finding the right information and extracting the relevant parts. Including the expenditures of energy by the human performing the task and everything that surrounds the activity.
There are real concerns surrounding AI, I wonder if this is truly one of them or if it’s just poorly researched ragebait.
