Call for algorithmic energy efficiency initiative: it’s estimated that GPT-3 consumed 936 MWh, which would be sufficient to power ~100000 European households for a day. Ethereum has 99% efficiency by changing their algorithm. Is there a way to design algorithms and hardware to be energy efficient. Can we have energy complexity just like we have space and time complexity?<p>For comparison annualized energy consumption (TWh) of technologies : Bitcoin 100, YouTube 244, PoS Ethereum 0.0026.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ethereum.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;energy-consumption&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ethereum.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;energy-consumption&#x2F;</a>
