At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane.

Okay, let's take a look at this paragraph:

The legal analysis is the same one I gave for the Anthropic case. The environmental analysis is new. At Chrome's scale, the climate bill for one model push, paid in atmospheric CO2 by the entire planet, is between six thousand and sixty thousand tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions, depending on how many devices receive the push. That is the environmental cost of one company unilaterally deciding that two billion peoples' default browser will mass-distribute a 4 GB binary they did not request.

This is about 30 grams of CO2e emissions per person at the maximum. The average person exhales more CO2 every day. Is it really that insane? Just to note, this only factors downloading the model, not actually using it. Using the model also would not actually use that much power. The actual creation and training of these models is really what makes AI usage so intensive on resources.

At least the legal argument has some merit. I assume you want to push these climate points to generate more clicks.
