Don't censor the word tits ya fucking prude!
Censor normal words and make people wonder what they even are or if they're bad now.

Same with water usage. Everybody has to reduce water, not wash cars while industry and agriculture who use like ¾ of the water don't do anything
Yes because washing cars is much less important than growing food
Sure but growing water intensive crops in the desert is also not logical.
Juts search for "AI water consumption" or "data center water consumption". I'll agree that "we could be using this to wash our cars" is a silly argument, but water shortages affect between 2 and 3 billion people every year (https://www.unesco.org/en/articles/imminent-risk-global-water-crisis-warns-un-world-water-development-report-2023). We could be doing more with this water than cloud computing and AI.
you can say tits online
The various platforms with their various advertiser-friendly stances have all but maimed the english language. Had someone I know talking about a death in their family and they legit said "unalive" once without realizing it.
Gee almost as if capitalism is the actual underlying issue.
Free market economics are going to slurp any extra watt as long as it's capable of making a modicum of profit, unless it is just told "no". The private sector is going to have to pay far more for their power, or else we'll never reach NET zero emissions.
The really juicy bit is the hypocrisy of asking common people to refrain from consuming.
"Fuck you plebe" would at least have the positive of being honest.
To paraphrase another Twitter post, "AI uses the same amount of power per day as Guatemala for the sole purpose of making kinda acceptable slide decks for consultants to use when telling other corporate types how many people to fire"
Perhaps if there was a lot less asphalt and concrete and more shade trees and grass, it might be a bit cooler and more comfortable?
Yah that would help somewhat.
But here's the problem. Carbon Dioxide is like three springly balls stuck together when most other molecules in the air have two springy balls stuck together.
The more springy balls are in the air, the more they can absorb the wiggles from sunlight, and then even when the sun isn't shining them springs are still wiggling, releasing that wiggle into other molecules and objects slowly, at a rate much higher than if it were more nitrogen or oxygen. Our biggest problem here is one as simple as slinky-physics. We have too many springy balls wiggling in the sky, wiggling too hard and making everything wiggle more.
I’ve got solar panels and AC. I’m keeping the house at meat locker freezing while staying within the solar panel production. Might as well use the power when it’s there.
Some people will complain about using AC in general. They can sweat all they want - I’m keeping cool.
ngl, this is my lifelong goal. Have a house and being able to install and own green technology. Too bad that's mostly out of reach for anyone born in the 90's.
We're so into pushing the limits of AI, but we're forgetting about the important stuff, like making sure everyone has power when the weather goes crazy. It's like we're so focused on the shiny new toy that we're ignoring the basics. It's like we're trading our populations health for a few cool pictures. We need to think about the bigger picture and make sure we're not sacrificing what really matters for the sake of technology.
Oh everyone is into toys and roleplaying right now. That's the theme of the era.
Pretend.
Pretend to do business like your daddy and then sit back and watch number go up. Pretend the new algorithm system is some super future app. Pretend we can just undo it and that we really have control over everything we do.
Heck, even most politicians aren't actually bringing plans but simply roleplaying what they think is the party or level of conservativeness needed to just make it work a little longer.
No plans. No thoughts towards the future. Just now and how to make it feel more right than be.
Who’s “we”? Big corporations? Because the average Joe doesn’t give a shit about pushing the limits of AI.
Now I'm wondering how you draw a girl with 5 text-to-speech (tts) programs.
draw a Hatsune Miku
Okay, but like... can I see it?
Seems a shame to slurp all that power and then keep the titties to yourself.
The irony here is most AI is "mundane" and not diffusion or LLM AI.
For instance... the "AI" X is using to produce feeds ingest posts, serve ads and such.
X, Facebook and so on are the real villains here, and Mastadon, Lemmy, and (I guess?) Bluesky are the heroes, skipping all that attention optimization nonsense.
