Think about how selfish marine life is, they live in water, water we could use to cool our AI data centers! Think about that!

In a way, this whole planet is a datacenter, with the oceans as it's cooling system. We are the data.

In a mirror, you can kiss yourself only on the lips.

Like, a thousand times over. Why does he keep reposting that same shower thought? Why is he so obsessed about that? Is there somewhere else he wants to kiss himself in the mirror?

[-] dmention7@midwest.social 14 points 4 months ago

This made me realize that it would be really hard to distinguish between a satirical NDT quote and something I have earnestly and profoundly thought to myself while 2 edibles into a nature documentary. And I'm not sure how to feel about that.

God I hate him so much... Well he used to just annoy me, but now I hate him

You know what conserves energy at nearly 100% efficiency?

A guillotine.

You know I am going to argue for the sake of it

It also conserves mass

[-] BeardededSquidward 4 points 4 months ago

It at least provides me with better returns than a data center.

[-] illi@piefed.social 57 points 4 months ago

I have no idea if things are real or satire anymore...

[-] GalacticSushi@piefed.blahaj.zone 49 points 4 months ago

Why do we need an orphanage in the first place? Is the Orphan Crushing Machine not working?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 24 points 4 months ago

Spoiler alert: they need orphans to run the orphan crushing machine.

[-] regedit@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 months ago

Ahhh the circle of life!😍

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 13 points 4 months ago

I can't tell if this is real or not. It sounds ridiculous, but he does say some ridiculous things (like how millions of years of humanity have consumed more energy than four years of data centers...). But this just seems so comically ridiculous that I have trouble believing it.

This is why I hate when people fail to make it clear when something is satire. When people get used to doubting everything they see, then suddenly when someone really does say something comically ridiculous no one believes it.

I'll point it out from time to time and people will say "it's just a meme, don't take it so seriously." But we're supposed to be the rational and intellectually honest ones, no?

So why cultivate a meme culture where we can be just as misleading and deceitful as the fascists? This isn't a fire-with-fire situation. Their goal is to rob us of our humanity; if we stoop to their level, they win.

Even if he really did say this, my point stands, because of the simple fact that it's hard to believe at face value due to the prevalence of misleading memes. There's a line between disinformation and satire. Honest memes should make it clear which side of that line they fall on.

What he said was that training humans takes a lot of water too, in defense of AI. This is a shitpost take on that.

Me trying to figure out if the 5 year old orphan should be saved: "So the farmer must transport the wolf, goat, and cabbage across the river..."

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Okay almost had me. I can't believe he would argue in favor of helping orphans.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

You what saves water? Setting fires in orphanages. In today's Ted talk we're going to outline ways how orphans use up water that could be better used on chunguses. Big Chunguses. Chungodes. Hayden, what's the plural for Chungus and without that word were going to struggle grammatically and I'm not sure we can advance without it

[-] hector@lemmy.today 6 points 4 months ago

Stupid orphans hogging all of that water, they should bring a lawsuit against them for endangering the supply needed for ai in having their place get on fire. It won't win but they can't pay for lawyers to defend it and they will go our of solvency and have to be dissoluted.

Now why do the courts let the rich file cases that have no merit to force people that haven't done wrong to pay millions of dollars indefinitely to defend themselves from bad faith allegations by shitty abusive rich people? Because fuck you, that's why. Any more questions? /s

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago

lol get lawyers?

Those losers can’t even get parents.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Did he actually say this..?

[-] voidsignal@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

He did not say this, but all-in-all, he did say this

"Know What Else Used a Lot of Energy? Human Civilization"

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Thank you. This is exactly the answer I was hoping for ^

[-] UNY0N@lemmy.wtf 7 points 4 months ago

No, he didn't. Please, for your sake and ours, learn to search for facts yourself instead of asking strangers on the internet to do it for you.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 months ago

It’s also easier to search for something someone did say, than to search for something they did not say.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I know how to search the Internet but believe or not if someone posts something which may or may not be real, either they can respond accordingly or someone else easily can, as you just proved.
