Have you know???.

People say this, but almost every time the time interval is left off it’s hours.
Either way, the numbers in this meme are clearly made up. Most image generation uses fewer than 10 watt hours.

This is new for me. Must be some engineering thing. I’m a physicist and and I feel guilty if I leave out some units just because, lol.

Its continuous to keep the image active in your mind :)

That'd need watt hours though. Meme is only showing the instantaneous power required to conjure the image for an infinitesimal amount of time - you cant do any useful 'work' with it unless the time is accounted for.
Watt seconds maybe.What makes me skeptikal of this data though is that the correct sciencing term for a billion watts is the well established 'jiggawatt'. In this context I'd have also accepted the Canadian spelling 'jigglewatt'.

it’s about energy transfer though. transfer of titty whats to watts to my mind.

That’s just science

And the text dosnt specify a time interval, whats your point?

That watts by themselves mean nothing with regard to energy consumption.
REDACTED@infosec.pub 6 hours ago
Also, it literally is an energy unit used in measurements. It’s meant as a continious power. Ie. Your active imagination consumes around 12 watts of power, not “rendering one image”

Must be nice, phantasiacs.

I think I just burned a kilowatt of energy thanks to this meme. 🤤

Kilowatt… Hour…?

Hour…
You’re being very generous. 😅

No wait time either. I did it while reading the sentence.

I really enjoyed those fat perky tits thanks fossilesque

The AI provides exponentially better results, if you are me

An LLM isn't imagining anything, it's sorting through the enormous collection of "imaginations" put out by humans to find the best match for "your" imagination. And the power used is in the training, not in each generation. Lastly, the training results in much more than just that one image you can't stop thinking about, and you'd find the best ones if you could prompt better with your little brain.

What is it you think the brain is doing when imagining?
Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 10 hours ago
Actually imagining. The fact that we have created previously unheard of tools such as the hammer, the wrench, the automobile and the profylactic condom is ample evidence that we can actually innovate, somethibg that artificial “intelligence” is ibcapable 9f doing by its very design.

That is what AI scientists have been pursuing the entire time (well, before they got sucked up by capitalistic goals).
NewOldGuard@lemmy.ml 6 hours ago
The training is a huge power sink, but so is inference (I.e. generating the images). You are absolutely spinning up a bunch of silicon that’s sucking back hundreds of watts with each image that’s output, on top of the impacts of training the model.

“prompt better” in the context: “Make no mistakes” a truly engineering power!

Some of us have aphantasia. AI fat perky tits is an aid to the disabled.

The brain is like a muscle. You can train it, even your phantasia.

BI (biological intelligence) has luckily devised ways to get photographic replications of real fat perky tits through transformations of electromagnetic waves right to your retinas and thus into your brain. And it still takes less energy than AI.

I would have preferred a pic of the titties rather than a fibre optic brain.

How much does it cost if οne person imagines it, generates an image, shares that, and 10k people see the image, and avoid imagining it?
