The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates (www.theguardian.com)

Despite its name, the infrastructure used by the “cloud” accounts for more global greenhouse emissions than commercial flights. In 2018, for instance, the 5bn YouTube hits for the viral song Despacito used the same amount of energy it would take to heat 40,000 US homes annually....

WallEx ,

New technologies will sometimes need more energy. Thats hardly news. If we continue yo switch to renewables the impact will also be small. AI isnt even listed as its own point, heck it is not even listed in most energy budgets, yet it sounds like there will be no energy left for the rest, which is laughable, since it likely uses around 1% of the energy needed (its estimated at 2% for it in general)

WallEx ,

And all that only with massive state funding, impressive.

WallEx ,

Paying around 300€/MWh in germany ...

But also we have well insulated houses, so its not that bad (i think). I am paying around 100 bucks for electricity and gas for one person.

WallEx ,

Why? This is a very real possibility.

    What a dumb take. And I do those myself, so I know one if I see one.

    WallEx ,

    Yeah for sure

    WallEx ,

    I know that the impacts are VERY different depending where you stand, but treating someone differently because of their "race" (which scientifically doesn't even exist) is racism. There are more and less consequential forms of racism, but its all icky to me.

    Paedophiles create nude AI images of children to extort from them, says charity | Internet safety | The Guardian (www.theguardian.com)

    Internet Watch Foundation has found a manual on dark web encouraging criminals to use software tools that remove clothing. The manipulated image could then be used against the child to blackmail them into sending more graphic content, the IWF said.

    WallEx ,

    Ugh, i hate people that think only their view of the world is valid.

    WallEx ,

    Yeah maybe they are just talking from there perspective, but its so assuming, it just strikes me the wrong way.

    WallEx ,

    Yeah, you might be right.

    WallEx ,

    So they use the word often, because its often used by them? Pretty ass backwards, but also makes sense for sensationalist "journalism"

    WallEx ,

    "... Only work to lower carbon emissions"
    But thats exactly the point, that it is high emissions now.

    WallEx ,

    "New thing bad"

    Okay I guess.

    WallEx ,

    Meh, video editing has been wild for a couple of years, this is the logical next step

    WallEx ,

    Thats so wild

    WallEx ,

    So You think they shouldn't have done anything, because the union is not big enough? Moral is not an option with a small union? Am I getting this right?

    WallEx ,

    Wow, a genuine genocide supporter, would you look at that.

    WallEx ,

    Yeah, american employee protection sucks ... Where I live you could easily fight being fired for this. So maybe thats where our different stances come from.

    WallEx ,

    What would be the crime here? Am I missing something? Protesting is not (or shouldn't be) against the law, as long as you don't behave illegally)

    WallEx ,

    Ah that, yeah they were in the CEOs office. That might be misdemeanor, but is it a felony? Pretty sure you couldn't be fired for this here.

    WallEx ,

    Could be

    WallEx ,

    Yeah, probably

    WallEx ,

    I think you have it backwards, human brains are bigger and thus more complicated, so I think much more complicated to do the same things as in mice. Thats why we "practice" on mice

    WallEx ,

    This is why not every business is successful I guess

    WallEx ,

    Yes you did, by not answering. You're being very obtuse.

    WallEx ,

    Exactly what happened in Bavaria when they did the same thing a few years back.

    WallEx ,

    Didn't know that, thanks for the info

    WallEx ,

    I dont think this would fly in the EU, but will opt out just in case

    WallEx ,

    "I dont need rights, because i anyways dont exercise them"

    Good on you, but what about the rest of us? Ever think that this law is not tailored to you?

    WallEx ,

    So?

    Who’s Behind All the ‘Pussy in Bio’ on X? (nymag.com)

    Spam is hard. No real platform has solved it completely, and none ever will. Spammers evolve, platforms catch up, spammers evolve again, and so on until the last post is posted and the last user signs out. Individual spam tactics, however, do tend to have short lives, and while PIB won’t be with us forever, it’s notable...

    WallEx ,

    He then proceeded to do everything in his power to strengthen the bots.

    WallEx ,

    A variable you have to solve for

    "Wake up, you're late to school"

    WallEx ,

    Totally unrelated, but that's actually what we're doing with cows. Killing them of at age 3 bc they don't give enough milk anymore

    WallEx ,

    Yeah, im not that big on the details, since I don't support those industries at all.

    WallEx ,

    That would be soooo bad, almost as bad as making a law against encryption

    WallEx ,

    Why have this persons comments been deleted? They've got upvotes, so likely not that outlandish.

    WallEx ,

    Oof, yeah, that is a lot. Good riddance.

    Also thanks for pointing that out, didn't know modlog was a thing tbh.

    WallEx ,

    Most likely better then Google, but Google turned to shit.

    Extracting Meaning, Intent, and Context of "Youtube Watch Time Increase Strategies" (startrek.website)

    Have you ever poured your heart and soul into a YouTube video, only to see the watch time tick by like a broken clock? The frustration is real. You invest hours crafting compelling content, yet viewers click away just seconds in. But what if there was a way to captivate your audience, leaving them glued to their screens and...
