I should have specified it was an earlier llama model. They have scaled up to more then a flight or two. You are mostly right except for how much a house uses. It’s about 10,500 kW per year, you’re off by a thousand. It uses in an hour about 8 hours of house time, which is still a lot though, specially when you consider musks 1 million gpus.

Their first model took 2 600 000 kwh, a plane takes about 500 000. The actual napkin math was 5 flights. I had done the math like 2 years ago but yeah, I was mistaken and should have at least specified it was for their first model. Their more recent ones have been a lot more energy intensive I think.

I personally don’t think any of these big companies should be privately owned. Rare win for the pedo admin. Maybe we can get 10% of the epstein files next.

I did some quick math with metas llama model and the training cost was about a flight to Europe’s worth of energy, not a lot when you take in the amount of people that use it compared to the flight.
Whatever you’re imagining as the impact, it’s probably a lot less. AI is much closer to video games then things that are actually a problem for the environment like cars, planes, deep sea fishing, mining, etc. The impact is virtually zero if we had a proper grid based on renewable.

Always wondered what this was called. 8 get this often in winter, less during summer. Really puzzled me the first few times it happened, I just figured I was getting diabetes.

- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 1 week ago:
So in 2042, if you had the premium battle pass, you could set up one persistent server. It was hosted by them but didn’t disappear without players. I don’t know how it will work for bf6.
I think the most important feature is that we have persistent lobbies that don’t disband after a game like matchmaking. That they “stay online” while nobody uses it is really not the important part imo.

Still, DICE insists the Portal browser will satisfy. It does have some qualities that simulate a classic server experience, like how you can earn full XP in Portal matches as long as the house rules closely resemble the vanilla ones.
From the article.

we should be able to do what we want with it, including running those max player/max ticket servers that run 24/7 on one map.
You can do this because the game let’s you host a server (your rules or official ones) and includes a server browser so random people can find it and join your game.
We should be able to do it without DICE/EA’s permission
You can’t do this because although there is a server browser, you can’t run private servers disconnected from eas infrastructure.
I am correcting OP because most of what he said in his post and what people are repeating in the comments implies that there is only matchmaking and the first part isn’t possible.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 2 weeks ago:
90% of the people in the conversation think there will be only matchmaking and nothing else because of how OP framed it.
You want to talk about how you can’t have your own private server completely disconnected for EA, fine. But that doesn’t mean the game has no browser, jfc.

There will have community servers with its own browser. They will have full xp as longg as the rules are close to the official ones.
Matchmaking wont be the only option.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 2 weeks ago:
There is a server browser. Tgere are n9 private servers. I would like private servers too but there is still a server browser regardless.
You are conflating two different things.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 2 weeks ago:
That’s more then a server browser. You are just being deceptive. You cherry picked the one quote in the article that makes it look like there is nothing.
What you are talking about is a whole other debate entirely and simply not how the industry runs anymore when it comes to multiplayer shooters.
I want that stuff too but that’s not what server browser means. The finals and cod don’t have server browsers. Bf6 will have a server browser.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 2 weeks ago:
They are implementing just that. Official servers don’t show up on it but everything hosted by the community does.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 2 weeks ago:
That’s exactly what they did. You have official matchmaking, then you have community servers people host. If you use official rules, you can still earn xp in the community servers.
They have a server browser, official matchmaking servers just don’t show up but they only last one game anyways.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 2 weeks ago:
They are persistent, they stay open as long as someone is in it. No one is kicked after the game.
Bypass dice isn’t a feature but a fantasy, never happening. I don’t really get what it would bring to the table either.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 2 weeks ago:
They have a browser where you can run your own games. If you use official rules, you get full xp. I don’t get what people are complaining about.
You can earn full XP in Portal matches as long as the house rules closely resemble the vanilla ones

Ya I agree, it is a bit problematic.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 2 weeks ago:
Calling an llm an AI isnt saying it’s super intelligent and I don’t know of any company that it is marketing it like that. There aren’t multiple definitions of AI depending on the industry you are in.
Just read the wiki, it is pretty clear. Something does not have to be “intelligent” to be considered AI, just like a shooting star isn’t actually a star. Its an umbrella term that holds many things including video game pathfinding, llms, recommendation systems, autonomous driving solutions, etc.

Video games are dangerous.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 2 weeks ago:
Bad faith comparison.
The reason we can argue for banning guns and not hammers is specifically because guns are meant to hurt people. That’s literally their only use. Hammers have a variety of uses and hurting people is definitely not the primary one.
AI is a tool, not a weapon. This is kind of melodramatic.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 2 weeks ago:
AI is an umbrella term that holds many thing. We have been referring to simple path finding algorithms in video games as AI for two decades, llms are AIs.

AI has a pretty clear definition. What you mean to say is that it isn’t intelligent but that doesn’t make it not AI. Like how a shooting star isn’t actually a star.

We need yo censor these AIs even more, to protect the children! We should ban them altogether. Kids should grow up with 4chan, general internet gore and pedos in chat lobbies like the rest of us, not with this devil AI.
