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....

As an American, I don't know what opinion to have about this without knowing the woman's race.

feedum_sneedson ,

Why, because all shoplifters are black? I don't understand. She's being mistaken for another person, a real person on the system.

I used to know a smackhead that would steal things to order, I wonder if he's still alive and whether he's on this database. Never bought anything off him but I did buy him a drink occasionally. He'd had a bit of a difficult childhood.

feedum_sneedson ,

Literally what people on Lemmy think.

feedum_sneedson ,

That's not how it works! It has mistakenly identified her as a specific individual who was already convicted of theft.

feedum_sneedson ,

Why do you hate the poor.

feedum_sneedson ,

Why do you hate... eh. Can't be bothered. Need to take my clothes out of the washing machine.

feedum_sneedson ,

Everyone, constantly.

feedum_sneedson ,

That was plainly fictional.

A professor of mine sent me a similar email when I said I was having trouble accessing some journals through the University library portal:

"One should definitely not use Sci-hub, if you catch my drift."

I would say the person was being nosy or intrusive, I'd never say invasive as that conjures up something more physical. In my usage of the language, at least. You can invade somebody's personal space, I suppose. You can have an invasive procedure. Intrusive thoughts or enquiries. Invasive weeds or surgery... perhaps even relatives if they move into your house and won't leave!

These are crap.

Aarrr (lemmy.world)

4 panel comic by War and Peas. 1. Panel shows two pirates, the first pirate speaks "Captain, our rivals have been calling us names again." 2. Panel: The pirate continues, "They said we were a bunch of handicaps." 3. Panel: The captain himself says, "That's ableism! And we don't tolerate that kind of talk here". 4.Panel: The ship...

feedum_sneedson ,

This is really shit.

feedum_sneedson ,

I have no idea what any of you are talking about and it's great!

feedum_sneedson ,

Probably still would.

feedum_sneedson ,

Yeah if there's an elephant skin thing going on I'm not sure I could get into it.

feedum_sneedson ,

I'm just saying, she would benefit from compression hosiery.

feedum_sneedson ,

It's the Chinese room thought experiment.

feedum_sneedson ,

No worries. The person above did a good job explaining it although they kind of mashed it together with the imagery from Plato's allegory of the cave.

feedum_sneedson ,

It's exciting either way. Maybe it's equivalent to a certain lobe of the brain, and we're judging it for not being integrated with all the other parts.

feedum_sneedson ,

three days doors grace down or something

"in the chthonic silence"

what book was that, can't remember

feedum_sneedson ,

For a billion I would absolutely make it happen.

feedum_sneedson ,

Maybe we should call them extremely skilled workers.

If you give half a person a quarter of a thing, how much would you be giving a full person? That's right baby, half a thing. Don't sweat it.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

feedum_sneedson ,

I've yacht that sinking feeling.

feedum_sneedson ,

A pun, usually.

You might be unwell.

ITT, a bunch of people who know literally nothing about this subject offering explanations.

The character 零 ("líng") contains a semantic component (on the top) and a sound component (on the bottom), the semantic component is 雨, meaning rain, and the sound component is 令 "lìng".

The word initially referred to very light rain and so the character essentially means "the type of rain that sounds like lìng". For whatever reason the meaning drifted from very light rain towards "barely any" and then "nothing/zero".

The bottom/top usage is simple, the "zero" is the receiving hole and the "one" is the penetrating appendage, i.e. the submissive versus the dominant partner. That usage is definitely slang, though!

It's literally "crysanthemum", but that makes it funnier that the other meaning is arsehole. Somebody obviously decided they look similar. Not specifically a male arsehole, mind.

干爆我的菊花

This does not literally mean "explode my crysanthemum flower".

feedum_sneedson ,

I did gloss over that, yes.

feedum_sneedson , (edited )

The character used to refer to a type of tree sap, but shares the same pronounciation as 七. I'm guessing the reason it's considered offensive is because the top component implies ejaculation, but that's something I'd need to check!

feedum_sneedson ,

To not have or be without, more of a verb, somewhat literary.

feedum_sneedson ,

Gay, but I did the same piece of art when I was 14. I'm using gay ironically which makes it okay. My best friend is/was gay (he got deported). Also he used to call things gay, including his own boyfriend, and that's where I learned it. So it's ironic. Never used it as an insult as a child; evidently I was a progressive without knowing what that meant. What were we talking about? Oh yes, homosexuality. Anyway, expressing feelings is gay, that was my point.

feedum_sneedson ,

I'm hairy.

feedum_sneedson ,

Oh man I loved Power Rangers!

feedum_sneedson ,

hilarious take

She's had so much plastic surgery it looks like she's got Bell's palsy.

As the Internet Gets Scarier, More Parents Keep Their Kids’ Photos Offline (getpocket.com)

Here's a non-paywalled link to an article published in the Washington Post a few days ago. It's great to see this kind of thing getting some mainstream attention. Young children have not made an informed decision about whether they want their photos posted online.

feedum_sneedson , (edited )

Yes it's much less scary now, and also a bit shit. People are more scared, maybe, but that's not really indicative of reality.

Timeless (sh.itjust.works)

[panel 1: a large dodo approaches a clean, well dressed vagrant youth sat beside a well fashioned wood and stone building. The youth warily guards a bag holding their belongings and the stick they use to travel with it. The dodo asks “Pardon me, do you have the time?” and the youth replies “yes, it’s -“]...

feedum_sneedson ,

It's riffing on the common phrase "to have the time", meaning to know what the time is. Specifically, it is highlighting a potential conflation of the verb "to have" as meaning "to possess or own" rather than "to know" - or perhaps our understanding of time as both an abstract concept and a concrete description of the position of the earth's surface as it rotates relative to the sun. In this imaginary scenerio, the ambiguity inherent in the language is represented by a small group of dodos who wish to know who has the time, while being in awe of the implications of such ownership. Thus, an irreverent comic sketch. I hope this helps.

feedum_sneedson ,

Never say that again.

feedum_sneedson ,

I think it's that in the questioner's mind, they have decided she is a fraud, and want to know if she's like the other one.
