"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Not really, the ai horde runs in volunteer PCs, so less power and cooling than running an aaa game
oh those run on pixie dust and fairy farts huh?
in fact, because they're distributed amongst thousands (presumably) volunteer pcs, they're eating up cycles that aren't optimized so are much less efficient at their task compared to specialized gpus and asics.
there's no free lunch.
There's no asics and specialized gpus for this sort of thing. We've also developed foss workers that are indeed more optimized. Also a lot of our volunteers use solar power.
I any case, yes of course it consumes some electricity, but all digital entertainment does and as I said we're comparable to AAA gaming , so I don't see why you're singling that out.
I didn't single out anything, I despise the entire spectrum bud. There's no free lunch for AI.

Did you wander in here to advocate for your energy gobblin AI thinking we'd go "oh it's distributed consumption SO THAT'S OK"?
Honestly?
For an instance who bans people for being an "Anti-AI troll", you're pretty loud with your "Pro-AI trolling".
How am I trolling?
Same way people disliking or pointing out flaws in "AI" are "trolling".
The difference is, you don't get banned here for discussing things.
People were banned for going to unrelated topics and complaining acerbically about GenAI art in a meme (the meme not being about GenAI Art). I made a comment directly related to the meme and was not toxic about it. But if you feeling smug is what you need today, sure, go on.
That is factually incorrect, and there are modlogs to back it up.

EDIT: I'm not doing to rehash this topic in here. There's already been a YPTB topic about it with plenty of comments.
