Good. hopefully it will keep AI out of here. The only way I would be cool with AI is if it took 1000% less resources, and wasn’t powered by companies building datacenters that produce power in teh most polluting way.
AI lies, spreads misinformation and steals. So no, I would not be cool with it if it took up fewer natural resources.
Ideally, I was thinking nuclear or renewables. But the way things are now, I don’t want it all. Just wishful thinking on my part.
1000% less resources
Trump math is spreading
So Deepseek run locally for LLMs or Flux.1 being run locally at 1080 for image gen?
The problem I see with that is even though it’s local (which is a huge step towards FOSS ownership instead of private hidden control), it still takes tons of energy to train the model itself. Not to mention the IP theft which is a whole 'nother issue.
I’m just saying, if half the people who constantly complain about AI didn’t participate in consumerism in general and plastics, it would even make a tiny additional dent to climate change.
The amount of anti-AI on here doesn’t seem proportional to the amount of people being anti-consumer or doing hobbies that use just as much energy or more than generating a few images locally such as playing a game on high settings with a having PC also using a graphics cards, usually for hours.
But also, it’s a bit annoying to see posts hating on AI where no AI is involved - I’m wondering what percentage of Lemmy doesn’t know by now nearly everyone here is against it. It’s like if people here started explaining what Linux is.
AI seems to have dissolved your brain. You are not making any sense, even though you seem to think you are.
A lot of criticism of my points here were valid, and some of my information (especially my math) was wrong, as pointed out by people more knowledgeable than me.
But in this case - not understanding this comment in particular - it’s just you having poor reading comprehension.
There’s valid reasons to be against LLMs especially, but hiding your incompetency behind blaming them isn’t one of them.
So it’s working. Good.
Its basically like crypt. Big ponents both op and pro.

Just like how the radio would cause children to stop reading, television would rot your brain, and video games cause you to kill your family.
I’m not even pro AI, but all this whining from grumpy old men is annoying.

Actually, it seems like the grumpy old men are the ones zealously advocating for AI, and most of the people complaining are younger and take issue with the labour and artists rights, as well as environmental, problems that it causes.

I see less about petrochemicals here than AI, and I’d say that’s #1 by a long shot. At least, in terms of climate change. You’d think it’d be much larger.
