  I'm quite happy to see Bethesda fail after their choice to release fallout 76 and microtransaction and abuse psychological tricks to separate people from their money.

  Crash and burn baby.

  How crucial is it to move these rocks? What’s the deadline? How many rocks need to be moved? Are there safety procedures in check, and will safety equipment be provided?

  Yes. Let's introduce OSHA standards into a theoretical example where moving rocks feeds people.

  All the while spinning a billion bullshit nonsense side points.

  Labor has a supply.

  Labor has a demand.

  To dismiss that is to dismiss reality. Yes. The nature of labor can change and some sorts of work can be abandoned when there is a shortage. No. That doesn't invalidate scarcity and your "degrowth is good and okay" seems tor to just be a hilarious and twisted rationalization of how when your ideals cause the economy (and more importantly the general will being of people in the nation) to collapse that it's actually a good thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A perfect visualisation of a wasteful system⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Let's imagine I had 100 rocks. For some reason I have to move them in order to feed everyone.

  If I have one person I can move one rock a day.

  With two people I can move two rocks.

  And so on and so forth.

  There is a labor demand - the need to move rocks.

  And a labor supply - the number of people you have available to move rocks.

  You can't mind game your way out of that. Call it a commodity or not, you still need X people to do Y tasks and the discrepancy between the tasks and the people you have to do them is a measure and very real thing.

  Because I did

  Arrogance that knows no bounds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A perfect visualisation of a wasteful system⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can't "I don't see labor as a commodity" your way out of scarcity. That's just hilariously absurd.

  Literally head in the sand sort of thinking.

  You acted like they still existed. In that case my original point still applies.

  Those gift economies don't work at scale and you would probably have a significantly worse quality of life if you were born to one.

  The beds in that store are for accumulation of wealth

  ...selling people beds so they have beds to sleep in. Beds that aren't riddled with bugs thanks to the store not being a homeless shelter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Making an image with generative AI uses as much energy as charging your phone⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That's 100mwh for a second of 3090 time/ 30 images a second.

  If a 3090 was sucking down 3WH for 1/30th a second it would melt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Making an image with generative AI uses as much energy as charging your phone⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is outdated in a big way with stable diffusion turbo and the recent LCM models that can render images at 30fps on a 3090.

  360w * 1s /60 seconds a minute / 60 minutes an hour = .1 wh/image

  Or 100 mwh

  30 images a second? 3.3 mwh

  A phone battery is 3000 mah * 3.5volts 10,500 mwh

  3,181 images per phone charge.

  My math is probably off, but you get the idea.

  This could be fine if it didn't immediately send all of your data to the internet.

  But as is, fuck that and fuck you Microsoft.

  Windows told me I don't have permission to do something. On my computer. As an administrator. Using the command line.

  Fuck Windows, fuck Microsoft and their controlling asses, and fuck co-pilot and Open AI for contributing to artificial intelligence not only being closed source and proprietary, but encouraging the United States government to make it literally illegal to do it on the open source field as well.

  Yeah, the only concern I have so far is the leverage of the defense powers act to require foundational model development to sent red team results to the Fed. That's a hint that will enable them to ban release of models in the future.

  From experience with their results in a similar field: no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Biden releases AI executive order directing agencies to develop safety guidelines⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  AI ethics people aren't about privacy.

  They're running around pretending there is some imminent technological singularity that's going to wipe out humanity and we have to stop it before it happens.

  I have no issue with privacy, but AI has very little to do with privacy beyond "don't let the government track you".
