What would happen if you did the equivalent of feeding your A.I. a healthy diet, then run a parallel system and fed it only burgers and pizza and Doritos?
you could probably get more energy burning a burger in a generator, than eating it. BM
Nothing, cos energy is energy
My shit ass wetware needs to lock in and catch up. It can't even run Doom or play back Bad Apple properly.
Visualise playing Doom in your head. It's free, and the cops can't stop you.

ANSWER ME!!
This article estimates that GPT-4 took around 55 GWh of electricity to train. A human needs maybe 2000 kcal (2.3 kWh) a day and lives 75 years, for a lifetime energy consumption of 63 MWh (or 840x less than just training GPT-4).
So not only do shitty "AI" models use >20x the energy of a human to "think," training them uses the lifetime energy equivalent of hundreds of humans. It's absolutely absurd how inefficient this technology is.
I think you underestimate how much time and energy it took to get us to this point. Like, billions of years of evolution to arrive at a brain as efficient as ours.
Human energy needs are incredibly variable so the estimates for normal consumption are wrong for most people, but when you get into essential systems (basically cardiovascular and nervous, not even including digestive or any muscle movement) you actually need even less - the average (by weight, height & age) man needs 1950kcal or so and the average woman (by height, weight & age) needs 1450kcal or so
When we replace AI with brains in jars I'm sure we can cut it down even more though
It's usually a lot faster in producing outputs though.

how many R not in strawberry?
20% of our body's energy use is our brain, it's a major energy expenditure.
Compared to what, >50% for a 4090 in a PC?
That's 50% of your households energy
Efficiency wins out.
My GPU can compute stuff faster than your brain though.
Your GPU might tell you to glue cheese to your pizza, but at least it's fast!
ok but like, my brain would totally do that too
It also has a lot of FLOPS. Do you have a lot of FLOPS?
Well if you want to turn this into a dick measuring contest...
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
