Now now… mediocre.

More like godawfully bad.

Yeah, that’s probably going to be a warning from the mods though

Sorry, i meant the comments under the article on toms hardware. I see this on a every tech site: research says it’s impossible amount of power used, and everyone in the comments below will do half arsed calculations with other made up numbers, trying to disprove the researcher, and always only to defend and legitimise their use of ai.
FWIW I’m not saying that the research here is garbage; it’s a decent attempt estimating by at assuming what you don’t and cannot really know, as long as an OpenAI and their doesn’t publish the data. As far as I know only Mistral published anything at all.

Of course there are comments doubting the accuracy, which by itself is valid, but they are merely doing it to defend AI. IMHO, even at a fifth of the estimates, we’re talking humongous amounts of power, all for a so-so search engine, half arsed chatbots and dubious nsfw images mostly. And let’s not forget: it may be inaccurate and estimates are TOO LOW. Now wouldn’t that be fun?

More climate problems, much more

Yessssss

Honestly, thanks for updating my knowledge.

lmao they just cut jobs to pay for their trashy ai.

Yes, I know. Unfortunately, rest of the world is not doing that much better.

The UN should consider nuking this… this … whatever it is that is left of the USA to Kingdom Come.

Every. Goddamn. Time.
People will say to vegans, pet owners etc: “DON’T HUMANISE ANIMALS”. Then, some tech bro feeds them an inflated Markov Chain statistical nonsense chat bot and they go all “ZOMG IT IS CONSCIOUS ITS ALIVE WARHARGHLBLB”

That’s great for you, truly it is, but for others it’s not.

I am old and I like ‘mc’ (Midnight Commander) a lot when doing many/complex file operations
