  DB0 has a rather famous record of banning users who do not agree with AI. See !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com or others for many threads complaining about it.

  You have no way of knowing what the scale would be as it’s all a thought experiment, however, so let’s play at that. if you see AI as a nearly universal good and want to encourage people to use it, why not incorporate it into things? Why not foist it into the state OS or whatever?

  Buuuuut… keep in mind that in previous Communist regimes (even if you disagree that they were “real” Communists), what the state says will apply. If the state is actively pro-AI, then by default, you are using it. Are you too good to use what your brothers and sisters have said is good and will definitely 100% save labour? Are you wasteful, Comrade? Why do you hate your country?

  I’ll answer. Because some people see these systems as “good” regardless of political affiliation and want them furthered and see any cost as worth it. If an anarchist / communist sees these systems in a positive light, then they will absolutely try and use them at scale. These people absolutely exist and you could find many examples of them on Lemmy. Try DB0.

  Hi. I’m in charge of an IT company that is been contracted to carry out one of these data centers somewhat unwillingly in our city. We are currently in the groundbreaking phase but I am looking at papers and power requirements. You are absolutely wrong on the power requirements unless you mean per query on a light load on an easy plan, but these will be handling millions if not billions of queries per day. Keeping in mind that a single user query can also be dozens, hundreds, or thousands of separate queries… Generating a single image is dramatically more than you are stating.

  There’s not really a way to “source” this until a scientist decides to create a longitudinal study on how people to refer to themselves. I’ve never seen one. I think this one’s going to have to pretty much remain a personal experience kind of thing for now!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Types of Smart People⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think the two statements are mutually exclusive. There’s certainly a difference between education and being smart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Types of Smart People⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Street smart” is what stupid people call themselves when they want to describe themselves as smart.

  Now bring Jeff back and make him play Mario Party.

  God damn… just now while I was watching YouTube killed the playlist and then the whole account! WTF?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Future of Giant Bomb website in doubt following prominent staff departures⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am absolutely in the same boat. I would love to listen to Jeff as well and every time he has a guest on I make sure to grab the podcast, but I can’t listen to one person podcasts. He absolutely needs a co-host or guests every week.

  Yeah, it’s a pretty dumb slang.

  You know some people say they have an automatic reaction to the word “moist”? I have that with the slang above.

  Holy fuck, a protest that is actually targeting the people it should instead of just random bystanders that have nothing to do with it?

  About time! Git 'em y’all!

  I’ve gone to my community and to specific posts, but can’t work out how to show downvotes. Can you shed a little light on how to see them please?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can see who upvoted and downvoted a post by viewing it in friendica.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, sometimes it is about blocking.

  If you run a small community like several of us do, even a small amount of downvotes can completely shut down a discussion from ever being seen by anyone else. It’s a way of shutting down conversation.

  If someone neither wants to contribute nor lurk, and merely drag down a community, they shouldn’t be part of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can see who upvoted and downvoted a post by viewing it in friendica.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I also like to know as I’m in the same boat you are. I’m just leaving this comment to remember to look later and see if you got an answer.
