That’s my point. We don’t allocate energy resources based on importance, and when this argument is brought up there’s no scale for comparison when someone says AI, specifically, is destroying the planet.

Do we know how energy usage of AI compares to other daily tasks?
Like: rendering a minute of a fully animated film, flying from L.A. to New York, watching a whole series on Netflix, scrolling this site for an hour, or manufacturing a bottle of tylenol?
How does asking AI “2+2” compare to generating a three second animation in 1080p? There has to be a wide gamut of energy use per task.
And then the impact would depend on where your energy comes from. Which is a whole other thing, we should be demanding cleaner, more efficient energy sources.
A quick search on energy consumption by AI brings up a list of articles repeating the mantra that it’s substantial, but sources are vague or non-existent. None provide details to be able to confidently answer any of the above questions.
That’s not to say AI doesn’t consume significant power, it’s saying most people don’t regulate their lives by energy consumption.

I agree, an argument can be a narrative, too. One where the dickhead is the second person.

Appeal to Fallacy. It might not be a fallacy. A fallacy doesn’t make an argument wrong. There are degrees of fallacies. Claiming a statement is wrong because there might be a fallacy is a thought-ending argument. There’s more nuance and relatability in rhetoric. Refusing to engage because someone’s using a fallacy is reasonable, but calling it by name isn’t a magic spell that forces someone to throw in the towel.

It’s not a bigoted one either.
“I like feminine people of all genders, what is that?”
“Normal.”
We don’t know OPs gender, but it doesn’t matter. All sexualities are normal.

It…really doesn’t. OP’s gender isn’t mentioned, either.

A guy in my art school made a piss sculpture. He collected it in jars every day and then arranged them like pixels on a rack. It was neat to see the colour variation, since he deliberately ate things to try to get more hues.

I could draw genterbent sonic bukake with broken restuarant crayons and it would still be art.
In a way, even the act of gatekeeping art is kind of a performance piece. You, my friend, are an artist.

I did. Specifically this part:
Im not promoting their use. They are symbols of feelings that many of us are having right now. Just like the guillotine.
But we aren’t going around building guillotines. At present, Ive not seen any riots in the U.S nor use of either of these except on Nazi cars on dealership lots.

How dare someone make art that represents their feelings toward current events.

Well done. What materials did you use?

Setting boundaries on your time with the AI, especially around sharing personal information, would be best. I don’t see anything wrong with how people spend their time so long as they set healthy limits.
Make sure you understand how AI works, too, it’s not a substitute for therapy because it’s designed to be agreeable and validating, but won’t give you feedback or suggestions.

Is this an angelfire website in the 90’s? Who the hell though a background amalgamation of moving images was the best way to present printed media?
I just can’t with these websites anymore. I find it almost impossible to read when there’s a embedded video as it is.

I’d say it’s about that, because that is one of the things that group is about, the group that this person wants to join.

I donno man, I’m no authority on morals but all things being equal I’d rather be around someone who doesn’t share their girlfriend’s sexts with their buddies.

Do you believe someone can’t be internally motivated to encourage and uplift their peers, or at the very least feel guilt when they laugh at someone’s expense?
Just wondering because I was like that: I told racist jokes, had plenty of similar friends, thought trans people were fooling themselves, and anyone who challenged me was pretending to be offended. I was obviously fine because I had good life.
Then I got older, met more people, learned more stories and when my old friends made fun of the new ones, I felt off about it. Decided I would rather hang out with the people who accepted everyone, made me feel good, and were still funny, just in a different way.
I still feel awful about the things I said and did and kinda wish I had noticed the signs sooner. While I was embraced by one group, I was being excluded from others and didn’t even know it.
I donno man, live your life the way you want.

It’s because your title doesn’t tell us what the link is for. At least give some context.
The other reason is because some people, like me, filter their feeds for preference or to preserve our sanity. Adding context helps the filters.

Indigenous people of north america. Tokenized parts of tales and folklore are often misrepresented and not told by the people who grew up learning the stories.

Sounds like you don’t even have to do anything to make it dangerous. Heck, let’s just chuck broken microwaves at the Teslas.
- Comment on Realistically, how feasible is it to 100% boycott a massive corporation (such as Amazon) for an extended period of time? 2 months ago:
A lot of the time, asking local businesses what they can do/order for you helps a lot. Just because they don’t have it doesn’t mean they can’t get it. Some local grocers offer delivery services. If you have the time, seed money and patience, you can grow a lot of food in a small amount of space.
My cat has a special diet, too. I asked if I could use pet food from an independent brand - since it was a food allergy, just a matter of excluding chicken and grain - and the vet said it was fine.
AWS is harder to avoid, but if you have to use a service, there are other companies who will put the effort in to take part of the pie from amazon.

Everything else is understandable. Cat cleaning itself, lots of mugs, sock on the floor - par for the course.
