All those that I like are taken

The age of the internet really left an impact.
My name has an accent in one of the letters, there is no way I'm going to give my kid a name like that, just because Computers. Would have loved to use name.surname more but yea both are common so there are thousands of us, never been able to do that. - Comment on What's your thoughts on this? 2 days ago:
Maybe not, but streaming an hour of 1080p also uses a lot of resources compared to AI

Thanks,
I hope that's not the case, but if it is they can keep it, I'm not going to support those kinds of practices - Submitted 2 days ago to selfhosted@lemmy.world | 17 comments

I can't remember where I first saw it, I quickly found this

Maybe not the best source, but tl:dr one ChatGPT prompt uses ~3watts including the training.
10min of 4k video streaming uses significantly more than a lot of prompts

He's never really seemed to be after the money, he didn't have a patron for a long time. He mostly goes around doing debates and discussions with other intellectuals.
It's very likely that a percentage of the population can't live on a vegan diet.
When you get a chance watch it, it looks very genuine to me, or he's a world class actor.
- Comment on What's your thoughts on this? 3 days ago:
I'm anti-ai for privacy, copyright reasons etc.
But the environmental impact is negligible, streaming Netflix uses way more resources than thousands of AI prompts (including training)
If we watched less YouTube it would make a much bigger difference than if we didn't use AI

He's a young YouTuber who started out talking about atheism and became a vegan and a big advocate for veganism and was very outspoken about switching to veganism etc. but a year or two into his journey he revealed that due to health reasons he can't stay on a vegan diet so he's reintroduced meat into his diet and he will try and do it as ethically possible but for health reasons he needs to consume animal products.
More details here:

Not everyone can live fully vegan. Just look at Alex O'connor's vegan journey.
But a lot of people can try, and everyone can cut out beef if they want, which would already be a big win
- Comment on What's your thoughts on this? 3 days ago:
AI is negligible compared to Coal & private jets etc. Or just gross spending by billionaires

A lot of software devs also use it to find the right syntax for something, or to add more unit tests etc.
LLMs are very useful, thats just a really you have we accept, I wish it was never invented, but it's here and it's here to stay.
I myself find it very useful, I tried to deny ot at first but you have to accept reality
- Comment on Companies be like 5 days ago:
Do you ever use Wikipedia to look up something that is in your library?
- Comment on Companies be like 5 days ago:
By your logic a lot of Wikipedia is useless, you can just go to a library and look up the information in books.
LLm's provide an actual useful service, else people wouldn't be paying to use them.
Pretending it isn't is rediculous.

When it comes to climate change we should be focusing our energy where it matters.
Most countries still burn coal, we should be angry about that, AI is insignificant compared to that.
AI is however a massive privacy and copyright issue, there we can focus on regulation
- Comment on Companies be like 6 days ago:
I might get crucified for saying this on Lemmy
But I don't see the energy issue as a real issue. I feel that is just the AI = Bad mentality looking for reasons to hate AI
If you compare it to other things, it's a drop in the bucket
- 1 kg Beef = 60kg CO2 - source
- 1000km Return flight = 314kg CO2 - source
- 1 Bitcoin transaction = 645kg of CO2 - source
- 1000 AI prompts = 3kg of CO2 - source including trainingBefore I probably get attacked for these valid points, I just want to say I'm not Pro-AI (look at my history)
There are plenty of valid reasons to be Anti-AI like Privacy, Copyright and many more, but the argument for the environment is a very weak one when you compare it to other things we aren't as upset about like flying. - Comment on Companies be like 6 days ago:
Any technology can be good or bad depending on how it's used.
The way corporations are shoving AI in anywhere they can, and stealing peoples content to train them etc. is bad.
So is the privacy concerns.But LLMs aren't necessarily bad, and can be good depending on how they are built and used.
- Comment on Companies be like 6 days ago:
I was the one who posted that meme.
And while I do think Lemmy is overly Anti-AI, and have some very poor arguments that they should stop using because it discredits us.There are also many valid arguments to be Anti-AI like Privacy etc.
What drove me to the
companies be likememe was this
