Too bad so sad

You should pick up the phone and call the professionals

Please see my other comment: whether nuclear power is good or bad is not my point, the monstrously power hungry genai shit is.

All nice and well but it is not my point here. My point is that I disagree that adding nuclear is good as it doesn’t remove fossils from the mix in the first place. LLM/genai is a problem no matter how much power you throw at it.

God no, it will not. Aside from the discussion whether nuclear is really a good way to generate electricity (and I think it’s not): The demand is so insanely huge that it’s actually stacked: green plus coal plus gas plus oil plus nuclear is currently getting “assigned” to genai.

Ik had geen idee! En eens hoor, hokjes zijn niet geweldig.

Van Mark Rutte werd het wel gedacht, maar niemand weet het.

Yeah, that’s probably going to be a warning from the mods though

Sorry, i meant the comments under the article on toms hardware. I see this on a every tech site: research says it’s impossible amount of power used, and everyone in the comments below will do half arsed calculations with other made up numbers, trying to disprove the researcher, and always only to defend and legitimise their use of ai.
FWIW I’m not saying that the research here is garbage; it’s a decent attempt estimating by at assuming what you don’t and cannot really know, as long as an OpenAI and their doesn’t publish the data. As far as I know only Mistral published anything at all.

Of course there are comments doubting the accuracy, which by itself is valid, but they are merely doing it to defend AI. IMHO, even at a fifth of the estimates, we’re talking humongous amounts of power, all for a so-so search engine, half arsed chatbots and dubious nsfw images mostly. And let’s not forget: it may be inaccurate and estimates are TOO LOW. Now wouldn’t that be fun?

More climate problems, much more

lmao they just cut jobs to pay for their trashy ai.

Yes, I know. Unfortunately, rest of the world is not doing that much better.

The UN should consider nuking this… this … whatever it is that is left of the USA to Kingdom Come.

Hmmm dat phishing lonely boomer men vibe

Jij hebt duidelijk geen idee wat printercartidges kosten…

One example is podcasts. I would miss the single interface for both podcasts and music, although Spotify is enshittifying rapidly; the turning point may be closer than I thought.

Google: “Am I a joke to you??”

Netbooks, haven’t seen them in a decade. They were sluggish at best even running linux. The screens were awful. Seriously, I can’t recommend. A refurbished 10” tablet with a bluetooth keyboard would work 10 times better.
