  • By 2030, AI's water use will match the needs of 1.3 billion people while its power use triples that of 650 million, UN University investigation warns

    Jump

  • Fuck this.

    I remember in the 00s imagining what AI might be like.

    I did not imagine soulless chat bot that was going to steal all the water.

  • Trump’s White House cage fight event being snubbed by A-listers on heels of concert fiasco | Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Jared Leto and Adam Sandler are among the celebrities who declined invites to T…

    Jump

  • I imagine that for celebrities like that an "invite" is probably an appearance contract, and there's probably penalties for not attending.

  • Age-verification partner Yoti is reporting GrapheneOS users to authorities for using GrapheneOS, due to "past security concerns."

  • Ive been paying my domain registrar for services for a decade or so.

    A few weeks ago they asked me to confirm my ID with yoti.

    Now im in the process of switching to another registrar.

    Im so fucking sick of having to invest so much effort just for a bare minimum of privacy.

  • Crews remove Donald Trump's name from The Kennedy Center

    Jump

  • That site has one of those ad blocker blockers.

    Anyway, it totally sucks that this is the only not-terrible thing to happen in US politics in the last year.

    Hey your shit together seppos. Waiting for someone to die is not a strategy.

  • Anthropic says the world should have option to ‘pause’ on AI

    Jump

  • Exactly.

    "We're working on something so amazing you better hold us back! Honestly we're going to release our AGI any day now, just a few more rounds of VC and boom."

  • Impressive

  • Oh man. The last part of my comment is a joke. Im mocking you. You seem like you'd be really fun at parties. Go shitsplain jokes to someone else.

  • What's your hypothetical death row meal?

    Jump

  • Its more for the benefit of your executionists. A fig leaf for their shame.

  • Exactly. It's something like a gish gallop - you can't really rebut that and explain why it's a comment made in bad faith, but to casual readers it's a valid retort.

  • That sounds like a hell of a survey.

    Mine are always like "on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being very poor and 10 being outstanding, how would you rate the service you have received today?"

  • After her weird press thingy a month ago this is what everyone concluded, yes.

  • You're right, I don't know him, but I still think you're making up a deeper level of humor that wasn't intended.

    "Luckily the good guys have won every single time" is a very direct jab at historians always casting themselves as the good guys.

    You're all up in here like "wull ackshually this is a post modern commentary on feminism because he's used the gendered phrase 'guys' and you just wouldn't get it because reasons".

  • Impressive

    Jump

  • Ill have to take your word for it. As written, it doesn't seem that way to me at all.

  • Impressive

    Jump

  • The joke refers to the addage that history is written by the victor, but that just isn't true.

  • Impressive

    Jump

  • Indeed.

    Also just naive to think that there are "good guys" and "bad guys". When you dig into the nuance of any conflict its almost always complicated.

  • United flight forced to turn around because of a Bluetooth speaker name

    Jump

  • Naming a Bluetooth device "bomb" could absolutely be intentionally disruptive or threatening.

    Im not saying thats provable beyond reasonable doubt in this case.

  • Stop telling me AI is the future [Still Vreni]

    Jump

  • Actually I'm interested to hear your perspective because I have no experience of anything like that.

    I just feel like star trek has romanticised space exploration to the point where most people can't conceptualise the hardships that would be involved.

    Just as an example, on the ISS, just outside earth's atmosphere, ive heard that the air smells putrid. Astronauts just deal with it because they're passionate about the project.

    I guess my pessimistic view is that "life on Mars" would basically be very similar to life on a submarine but with no ports or shore leave or furlough.

    what features do you think ais like gemini,chatgpt etc will have in 5-10 years?

    Jump

  • Sorry you're thinking about it like, if everyone has a lawn that needs to be mowed then there will be many mower guys all competing on price.

    In this case someone has built a gargantuan mower in the middle of your city that eats a dozen students an hour and everyone prefers to more their own lawn anyway.

  • Stop telling me AI is the future [Still Vreni]

    Jump

  • Thats kinda of my point though, im predicting that there will never be a new world, either under the ocean or "off world".

    Its a fascinating concept, and I do love sci fi, but in reality it just doesn't seem plausible.

  • Say it ain't so

    Jump

  • You just seem unreasonably vociferous about this particular "discussion".

    So some people think typing is a special learned skill. Who cares? You aparently.
