  • How Hungry is AI? Benchmarking Energy, Water, and Carbon Footprint of LLM Inference

    Jump

  • I honestly find this obsession with LLM energy usage weird. The paper listed gives typical energy usage per query at around 1Wh for most models at a reasonable output length (1000 tokens). A typical home in the UK directly uses around 7,400 Wh of electricity and 31,000 Wh of gas per day.

    I just don't see why some people are obsessing over something which uses 0.01% of someone's daily electricity usage as opposed to far more impactful things like decarbonising electricity generation, transport and heating.

  • AOC Seen as ‘Face’ of Democratic Party — and It’s Not Even Close: New Poll

    Jump

  • I'm not even sure it was as deep as that, IMO they shoo'd her in without any chalengers as she could legally use the Biden-Harris bribes donations they had already collected. Thats about the extent of their thinking.

  • AOC Seen as ‘Face’ of Democratic Party — and It’s Not Even Close: New Poll

    Jump

  • If they do that the corporate Dems would buy up all of DC's champagne. There is nothing they want more than to evict the left wing elements of the party and force them into electoral irrelevance, why would AOC et al do that for them?

  • The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.

    Jump

  • Its a godsend when you have to use Windows for whatever reason and you can have a functional OS to do things with.

  • AI headphones translate multiple speakers at once, cloning their voices in 3D sound

    Jump

  • I hope you dont play video games or stream HD video, given that they use more electricity for less social benefit than this would.

  • Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks

    Jump

  • So despite me giving my opinion that that style of posting seems (to me) to be condesending you decided to apply that same style of message, which i just said I thought was invasive, to me?

    I get you think you are being nice but trying to force unearned intimacy comes off as creepy.

  • And unless you are Stephan King or the like exactly how are you going to get the publishing cartel (I think they re consolidated downs to 3-4 publishers now) to change their contract to not include this? Their response will almost certainly be either "that's non-negotiable" or "ok then you get half as much money".

  • Maybe this is a culture clash thing, but FWIW, to me your post comes across as incredibly condesending asking a total stranger about their mental helth and implying its bad like you were their close friend.

  • Avoiding AI is hard – but our freedom to opt out must be protected

    Jump

  • As much as you can hold a computer manufacturer responsible for buggy software.

  • It absolutely was, I couldnt write a poem to save my life.

  • Nice Guy

  • Sure! Here's a short poem for you

     
        
In halls of thought, where shadows play,
A mind confused, astray.
Each differing view, a coded line,
"An AI speaks," he would opine.

No flesh and blood, no heart that beats,
Just algorithms, cold repeats.
His lonely truth, a fragile hold,
Where human voices turn to cold.

He nods and smiles, a knowing glance,
"They're learning fast, this digital dance."
Unaware the folly lies within,
mistaking minds for silicon skin.

  • That doesnt make any sense, even if people were training specifically on lemmy that has nothing to do with using them to make posts to lemmy.

  • Beware the Tech Bro Pipeline

    Jump

  • Yup, I very much doubt more than a handful of c-level people at the big tech companies went through these phases. The change is a result of money people who dont give a damn about technology getting a tighter and tighter grip over tech companies and pushing out the people who do care.

  • Are We All Becoming More Hostile Online?

    Jump

  • I think is one of the main reasons for why there is such a lot of hostile discussion online, people read something which they infer as a hint of something they dont like and from there extrapolate into the worst person they imagine who could be saying that and proceed to righteously strike them down (with words).

  • Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College

    Jump

  • When I did my undergrad the core modules had upwards of 400 people in them, never had a single multiple choice test in my entire degree. Thats a choice not a neccessity.

  • OpenAI and the FDA Are Holding Talks About Using AI In Drug Evaluation

    Jump

  • He could see AI being used more immediately to address certain “low-hanging fruit,” such as checking for application completeness. “Something as trivial as that could expedite the return of feedback to the submitters based on things that need to be addressed to make the application complete,” he says. More sophisticated uses would need to be developed, tested, and proved out.

    Oh no, the dystopian horror...

  • Why Bloat Is Still Software's Biggest Vulnerability (2024)

  • As we all know NIH syndrome is the best way to get good code.

    Theres a huge difference between using a library that give you the functionality you need and using node to pull in 600 dependencies just to handle dates.
