Comment on AI Training Slop
utopiah@lemmy.world 5 days agoGreat point, I’so are you saying there is a certain threshold above which training is energetically useful but under which it is not, e.g. if training of a large model is used by 1 person, it is not sustainable but if 1 million people use it (assuming it’s done productively, not spam or scam) there it is fine?

So you’re saying if 1 guy made 1 million results it would offset the training?

Results? I have no idea what you are talking about. I thought we were discussing the training cost (my initial question) and that the truckload was an analogy to argue that the impact from that upfront costs is spread among users.
