"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

My electric rate got hiked again.

I'm already planning a ~7 KW solar setup in the spring but I may see if I can go bigger and sooner.

The models themselves don't take that much to run. Maybe 10wh per picture generated strictly not including all the other infrastructure. Training takes a fuck long amount of Matrix stuff.

it's not just the models, it's the output.

We are talking about the power usage, not thr data that is coming out of it.

why ignore either issue?

the power issue is a real fucking issue, stop acting like it's not.

Yea dude we get it but the post is about the power usage and bills passed onto consumers

And fuck me, if some CP enjoyer is kept away from real children, in his basement, because he can just look at CP slop, I'm all for it. Unethical but at least they're away from our kids.... For a while at least until they stop liking the slop... Okay that may be more enabling than preventative... Idk
