  • Good luck getting the song out of your heads. I call it musical terrorism.

  • Minor flex, I'm actually pretty good at solving these without any letters. It used to drive my parents crazy. Not much use unless you are able to get on that show.

    AI is eating up Pennsylvania's power, governor threatens to pull state from the grid — new plants aren't being built fast enough to keep up with demand

  • No I didn't look at phone use, but who has? The underlying point is really that when people are screaming about a reason something is horrible, and they're confronted with the information that something they personally do is in the same ballpark (and has been for decades), how should they respond? With a little self examination? Question their own priorities slightly? Apparently not. Just insults, denial, and debate-club bullshit. Like their favorite entertainment is sacred. It's exactly how the business world responded to climate change - deny, deflect, disengage. Very disingenuous.

  • I would expect that an AI designed to be a life coach would be trained on a lot of human interaction about moods and feelings, so its responses would simulate picking up emotional clues. That's assuming the designers were competent.

  • You're right. As an environmental impactor AI is a very recent player. Gaming has been bigtime for decades. If anyone is keeping score they should really looik at gaming's history of power consumption going back through the 90s. Seems like AI got a lotta catching up to do before it overtakes gaming's enviromental impact.

  • X CEO Linda Yaccarino is now ex-CEO

  • I thought federated meant people see your posts no matter where you log in. But if going to piefed means you're "leaving" lemmy, kthxbye I guess. I don't see the need for an announcement.

  • Just a friendly note: the gaming industry uses about a third as much power as AI. Should gamers be about 1/3 as upset about their own activity as they are about AI, or handwave power use as no big deal?

  • Firefox is fine. The people running it are not

    Jump

  • Unfortunately Firefox is a product whose job is to show ads for profit, so the only way to "donate" to it is to click ads.

  • My grandmother was an adult through that 66-year period. Lived to be 99. She rode to town on a horse as a kid and took trips on jets before she died.

  • How many of you microwave water for tea?

    Jump

  • My in-laws do that. Just today I ordered them a lighted electric kettle.

  • I like big-ass garlic stuffed green olives.

  • Jack Dorsey just Announced Bitchat(A secure, decentralized, peer-to-peer messaging app for iOS and macOS that works over Bluetooth mesh networks) Licensed Under Public Domain.

    Jump

  • Ingenious name. I feel like Bitchat should be connected somehow with PenIsland.

  • My child won't stop singing the "Lava Chicken" song from the Minecraft movie. How do I go on living?

  • Steady now, my generation got through the Macarena, you'll get through this. Nice deep breaths... in... out...

  • Not really accurate - publishers might put papers behind paywalls, but researchers themselves are usually glad to send them to anyone who requests them as long as they have time. And it's totally legal, not like they're pirating their own papers.

  • AI is driving down the price of knowledge – universities have to rethink what they offer

    Jump

  • Insightful. I think what happened with tuition was that universities were actually undercharging until around 1980, when they realized they could charge a lot more and people would still pay it, so they did. In America there's a prevailing mindset that the economy boomers grew up in was normal, and today's economy is stunted. The economy of the 1950s and 60s was actually an anomalous boom, like a bumper crop. Today's economy is what it would have been decades ago if the business world had risked charging higher prices and paying lower wages back then, instead of waiting for an excuse like COVID. Kind of a harsh realization.

  • Amazon engineers and marketers were asked on Monday to volunteer their time to the company’s warehouses to assist with grocery delivery

    Jump

  • Shifting personnel to grocery duty during work time to handle a surge or whatever is fine. Asking them to volunteer their free time is bullshit. I might do it if Bezos volunteered to come clean my house.
