It's so sad we're burning coal and oil to generate heat and electricity for dumb shit like this.

Wait till you realize this project's purpose IS to force AI to waste even more resources.

That's war. That has been the nature of war and deterrence policy ever since industrial manufacture has escalated both the scale of deployments and the cost and destructive power of weaponry. Make it too expensive for the other side to continue fighting (or, in the case of deterrence, to even attack in the first place). If the payoff for scraping no longer justifies the investment of power and processing time, maybe the smaller ones will give up and leave you in peace.

im sad governments dont realize this and regulate it.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Of all the things governments should regulate, this is probably the least important and ineffective one.

  • super hard to tell where electricity for certain computing task is coming from. What if I use 100% renewable for ai training offsetting it by using super cheap dirty electricity for other tasks

  • who will audit what electricity is used for anyway? Any computer will have an government sealed rootkit?

  • offshore

  • a million problems that require more attention, from migration, to Healthcare, to economy

you say that until ai agents start running scams and stealing your shit and running their own schemes where they get right wing politicans elected.

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

I kinda feel like we're 75% of the way there already, and we gotta be hitting with everything we've got if we're to stand a chance against it...

[-] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

That's already happening, how do you want the government to legislate against Russian, Chinese or American actors?

[-] andybytes@programming.dev 13 points 2 months ago

This gives me a little hope.

I mean, we contemplate communism, fascism, this, that, and another. When really, it's just collective trauma and reactionary behavior, because of the lack of self-awareness and in the world around us. So this could just be synthesized as human stupidity. We're killing ourselves because we're too stupid to live.

Dumbest sentiment I read in a while. People, even kids, are pretty much aware of what's happening (remember Fridays for Future?), but the rich have coopted the power apparatus and they are not letting anyone get in their way of destroying the planet to become a little richer.

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Unclear how AI companies destroying the planet's resources and habitability has any relation to a political philosophy seated in trauma and ignorance except maybe the greed of a capitalist CEO's whimsy.

The fact that the powerful are willing to destroy the planet for momentary gain bears no reflection on the intelligence or awareness of the meek.
