Grok are the first models I am boycotting on purely environmental grounds. They built their datacenter without sufficient local power supply and have been illegally powering it with unpermitted gas turbine generators until that capacity gets built, to the significant detriment of the local population.

Elon needs to do the right thing and play by the rules of other data centers: green wash their energy with a fake green energy company /s

The only player doing the right thing here is probably Microsoft which is retrofitting an entire nuclear energy plant.

Everybody else is faking it to make you feel better. Elon just is skipping the faking it part.

The only players doing the right thing are the ones that are staying out of LLMs entirely.
