Who’s out here censoring tits? The OP? That’s dumb, you can swear on the internet.
Someone else? Maybe go get a fresh screenshot.
FIVE tits? That’s disgusting, where is it?
I already found a LoRa for multiple breasts once so… Yeah…

You dont gotta explain yourself for nobody
They don’t gotta never not explain themselves for nobody
🤔
Don’t = -1
Never = -1
Not = -1
-1 * -1 * -1 = -1
~ They don’t have to explain themselves for nobody.
So it’s the same comment.
Let me know if I have made a mistake.Nobody is a negation (not anybody). So they do have to explain themselves to somebody
Formally yes, but I believe that’s an (American English?) informal way of speaking where “nobody” actually means “anybody”. Similarly to how “I don’t need no man” means “I don’t need any man”.
Of course, but I don’t never need to be told nothing like that from nobody when I’m commenting in a pedantic language thread! /s
With how much communities can quickly become echo chambers, even more on community with strong opinions, there’s always going to be that one person that takes offence.
So better be safe than having to proactively explain.
That’s kind of the point. If someone is offended by something, fuck 'em.
You don’t have to explain yourself for nobody.

I wonder what that last word is.
Tots. A girl with five tots. She has this cookbook:
Tuts. She’s very British.
tats, short for tattoos.
It is a mistery.
Why didn’t you post those 5 boob women pictures?
Why is the word tits censored? Also I am going to see these women with five boobs to evaluate the claim.
Yes, I’m also curious of where the results of such devilry are posted.
To avoid them.
But there are so many AI adult image sites.
Which one?
I miss the internet where we tricked our friends into looking at a picture of a man’s gaping asshole with zero consequences instead of the one where you have to put a little manual strike through “tits” just in case somewhere an algorithm will autoban you for it.
Honestly who keeps doing that crap because things aren’t that locked down fuck sake.
I miss the internet where we tricked our friends into looking at a picture of a man’s gaping asshole
Tbh, I don’t miss that. Neither do I miss spacedicks.
A family member had this “infamous” email chain. The subject was good, not spammy or obvious, but generic enough to be innocuous.
Length was perfect. Layers of FWDs, pages of them. Enough that you scroll to the point that you’re about to give up, but can’t.
At this point you’re not really even paying attention to the email, you’re just sadistic enough to have to reach the end of the email…
That’s when you look back at the email & there’s a woman goatse’ing you with an apple up her butt.
Listen here sassy missy, we need to advance AI. The human workforce is not going to replace itself you know.
if we keep complaining we will never make it to ten tots
I still want to know why tits was censored
Its l worse than that, its got nothing to do with replacing humans. Its entirely Venture Capalist porn full of hot air. Truely amazing how much money is being wasted on a word predictor.
I thought the whole point of cheap human labor is that it replaces itself
Cities asking residents to use less power is largely due to the fact that most cities have no direct policy power to regulate electricity use. Electricity use is primarily the domain of state/provider policy. Cities asking residents to lower power usage is thereby an ask for residents to collectively work to avoid brown/black out situations for the collective good. Messaging like this without a similar ask to the tech/industrial community would still be short sighted at best.
Yeah we just found out (we as a city knew, just without confirmation) who the ‘mystery’ business is that’s building a server farm on the outskirts of city limits. And they’ve got a 10 year tax break from the city on the land.
I’ll turn my AC down when google turns their Power Plans to Eco for those servers
AI isn’t yet slurping any significantly obscene amount of power from the grid, although as it gets more ubiquitous that will surely change. The individual data centers are massive things but they are outnumbered by orders of magnitude by all the rest of it
The big villain in senseless datacenter power usage is cryptocurrency
Plus most of the rest of it, of course, acres of racks burning through the world’s resources to run the world’s ten millionth pink slime news factory or Youtube click fakery cluster, or whatever
But AI isn’t yet adding its useless weight to the groaning pile in any significant way
Based on what, your gut feeling?
Here’s an article based directly on Microsoft’s own sustainability reports outright saying that their electricity consumption has gone up 30% because of AI: https://www.latitudemedia.com/news/microsoft-reveals-the-energy-impact-of-artificial-intelligence
This is a pretty good article about it, with this being the relevant graph:
:format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25245947/Screenshot_2024_01_24_at_11.23.05_AM.png)
Like I say, it’s going to become a significant thing, and I’m sure for the tiny fraction of all the world’s data centers that are operated by Microsoft specifically it already is, but it isn’t yet, on a global scale.
Is that the verge as a source
Not really. The primary sources for the chart are actually in the image, and there’s a link in the Verge article if you’re able to read academic papers.
It was a joke
?
I still do not understand the joke then
The verge put out a really terrible PC building guide about 5 years ago which hurt their reputation. So the joke is just that the verge isn’t trust worthy.
But that was 5 years ago and they corrected their mistakes since.
Fair, but it’s pretty much on track to be the new crypto of energy usage. We’re just a few years out for it to get fully ramped up
it’s also completely useless, and even it’s hyped up by the same people who sticked around crypto when it was a thing
It’s not completely useless, it just not the silver fucking bullet that the cryptobros promised it was. It can do a lot of cool shit, but we keep trying to make it do things it’s really not equipped to do.
They’re talking about “AI”, not crypto, the crypto bros part of their comment is about it being the same people that jumped on the crypto wagon and defend the energy waste.
I was using cryptobros as a proxy for the people that hyped AI. I feel like that venn diagram is a circle.
Fair enough and I agree
I feel
Well as long as you feel it is true.
And if I use “I feel” instead of a more concrete assertion, it’s clear from context that I don’t have any data to back that up off hand and am implicitly making a wider assertion that the people they hyped crypto are the same or akin to the people who are hyping AI.
Feel free to disprove me.
Not on me to disprove your, cough… argument…cough.
Learn how standards of evidence work. “I feel” you got some reading to do.
I love this mindset. It’s so regressive, it’s like watching old people form
for the “value” it provides (automated spam, new wave of deepfakes and tailor made propaganda, facilitating layoffs with genai as a failed replacement, and most importantly of all hyping openai stock) any amount of resources spent is a massive waste
Eh. I’ve built multiple apps in very short succession thanks to GPT. I don’t really care if people think it’s useful or not, I know it is.
your post-gpt output seems to consist mostly of runescape bots?
While I appreciate how much you must have looked into my profile to find that, I was actually referring to the startup I worked at in South Korea for half a year. The impact I landed there paved the way for me to get my current job at Meta.
(RuneScape bots are something I write on the weekend to wind down from work)
Get better at profile stocking or maybe get chatgpt to do it for you haha
Who exactly is replenishing their storefront shelves in this conversation? And with profiles?
You should probably start asking ChatGPT to proofread your comments, too.

You’re being made obsolete by your own tool and you don’t even realize it.
It’s so far off being able to make software, it’s smart but will never be that smart… Well if it does we’re all done for.
It’s a fantastic tool for getting a layout for your code however.
How far off is it from being able to make code well enough that your immediate manager, with basic coding skills, can just do it? Because that’s going to happen to a lot of people and soon.
The only developers made obsolete by IDEs coming around were those who continued to code in
ed
Osrs already has free to play no?
It’s an old name I had from Reddit :p. I kept it because some people recognized it
Mate you’re babbling like an old man too. Spam has been automated for a long time. Deepfakes are indeed a problem I agree, but again Photoshop has existed for a long time. Tailor made propaganda has existed as long as civilization has existed. Companies in tech space hand their staff layoffs and hiring in cycles, AI was just the latest excuse. And OpenAI isn’t even publicly traded.
Stop talking shit and touch grass.
Rather than merely wagging the finger at each weekly villain, we should work towards policy that internalizes the cost of energy.
Daily reminder that two different things can be bad at the same time.
Sure, but neither will be fixed with voluntary action. Both will point to the other as a reason to do nothing.
We need legislation and regulation to require energy efficiency and clean energy production. If that means kWh get more expensive, then that is the true price of energy. Cheap, deregulated energy is writing checks our grandchildren will have to cash.
100 sq meters of solar cells per house (with batteries and inverters) should do a lot of good.
How big is your house? My roof is covered where it’s practical and efficient to do so and I only have about 10 sq meters.
so like 100 square feet?
Centralization is more efficient and less wasteful.
For energy generation, being close to the point of usage prevents waste from energy transport. For energy storage it’s probably more efficient to do this at larger scale, which means centralized systems.
So I think it’s more complicated and depends on a lot of factors. Stating “Centralization is more efficient and less wasteful” as a hard fact is misleading at best.
Though the rooftop solar isn’t optimal from an efficacy standpoint, it has other selling points. You have residential solar and a battery? Congratulations, you don’t have to worry so much about power outages. This is particularly a selling point for rural living, where outages happen more often and last longer.
The abstract “it’s greener” is a less potent sales pitch than “your fridge, heating, and a/c can still work even if the grid is gone”.
It could just be the same thing. Total houses in community. Apply solar cells to already owned government land or near where the current plant is anyway like most already have been doing. Just scale up and add wind in. Salt batteries all over. Bam.
The beauty of solar is it scales up/down without much fuss whereas you can’t just run a coal fire plant for your home. We can build what makes sense for each community/home.
Sure, but it’s more efficient to have the number of panels necessary for the community (neighborhood, city, etc) than having everyone get what they need for their individual peak…
Depending on the housing density, probably but not always. Again, we don’t have to determine this from the beginning. We can adapt the scale and approach to each circumstance. I imagine buy and large having one central array of solar panels feeding several properties/communities makes the most sense. But how many properties (and their average draw) per sq/km or sq/mi very much impacts what that translates into.
Having centralized solar doesn’t preclude a homeowner from also installing solar, and decentralized green energy has other advantages over centralized green energy.
less wasteful
Where’s the waste? If you collect more than you use, you can store it or send it back to the grid. If this is an efficiency concern (“you’re collecting less energy than the same amount of paneling would”), then it’s not really relevant as by that same logic, not having solar is “more wasteful” than having it.
The waste is if it’s truly decentralized then everyone needs to be able to provide enough for their individual peak while a centralized system can be made to handle the highest peak of the day for many households while also providing enough for people whose peak is at different hours.
From a material requirement perspective being able to provide just what we need and not more is the most efficient. Batteries are great, the material required to make them still has a huge environmental impact and isn’t unlimited.
If everyone has solar panels on their roof, you can still have the central grid and you can still share power from house-to-house, though.
Generally speaking, decentralized solar refers to a centralized grid that is heavily augmented with decentralized solar, not “truly decentralized” solar.
This isn’t a nuclear reactor: one could have a bunch of PVCs on a solar farm or divided by 10 000s of homeowners.

You hate ai because it’s a better artist than you.
I hate AI cause frank Herbert warned us.
We are not the same
Douglas Adams also warned us. Every AI in his books is either malfunctioning or an asshole or both. He clearly had no faith in the concept of AI, especially not what corporations would do with it.
And then Elon tweets this:
Grok is an AI modeled after The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, so intended to answer almost anything and, far harder, even suggest what questions to ask!
They don’t even understand the warnings.
And named after, I think, Stranger In a Strange Land,
Heinlein also had some interesting AI and immortal human themes in his works.
Also, unlike Elon, Heinlein cared more of the future of humanity beyond his own self-interest. Pretty much everything he ever wrote was preaching his ideas on how to make everything work better. Some of those ideas were kind of nutty, but he wasn’t proposing them in order to enrich himself.
Honestly, it feels like being a tech bro requires you to have a brain defect where you read or see something meant to be a warning and it causes you to somehow interpret it as the best idea you’ve ever seen.
Basically sums up the last 20 years of Silicon Valley and their nonstop hopping from dumb to dumber to dumberest.
This guy gets it.
Great book
Haven’t gone further than the main series.
I’m more a fan of Foundation myself but in my mind’s eye they’re practically the same universe lol.
Ah, Brian isn’t as skilled a writer as frank for certain, but he still tells a good story that’s worth at least one read through.
Canon is Canon after all
“Nobody asked for?”
Have you met men?
Well, the only different is who use AI to generate trash are rich, and who need power is under-privi people.
Not a fan of disinformation so I’ll post this here as well:
I run ComfyUI locally on my own Laptop and generating an image takes 4 seconds, during which my 3070 Laptop GPU uses 80 Watts (the maximum amount of power it can use). It also fully uses one of the 16 threads of my i7-11800H (TDP of 45W). Let’s overestimate a bit and say it uses 100% of the CPU (even though in reality it’s only 6.25%), which adds 45 watts resulting in 125 watts (or 83 watts if you account for the fact that it only uses one thread).
That’s 125 watts for 4 seconds for one image, or about 0.139 WH (0.000139KWH). That would be 7200 images per KWH. Playing one hour of Cyberpunk on a PS5 (assuming 200 watts) would be equivalent to me generating 1440 images on my laptop.
