But then it would be harder to tell it was the same person.

Yes, red meat is mammal meat. People sometimes call pork white meat because of the color, but it's classified as red meat in regards to health and diet.

Surely poor health will help them become a productive little worker drone.

And a little compartment for dry ice to slowly sublimate into the ventilation system

Oh, that makes sense.

Technically they can extract more now, it's just a really really small amount.

Your son is a badass.

In all seriousness fuck charging for cures, especially for cancer. Life is about more than getting paid. I just lost someone yesterday to cancer so I'm sure this is an outsized response, but seriously, cancer fucking sucks.

Yes, I agree, but I think it does matter where we go from here. We could say all vehicles are bad, or we could focus on the source of the problem. Corporate AI is what's using all the electricity and water, it's what's creating the worst issues.

Most open source models don't need additional training, they're already plenty good for most plain language tasks and the weights are all free to use. Why would I waste power doing my own training when the public options are perfectly adequate?

What percentage of trips are done on a bicycle?

I'm working on software to help more people do it, but I fear that anti-ai sentiment has lost focus on the problem. Local models are super useful for assistance with code, writing, and all sorts of general tasks. I've been working on a tool that allows you to tell the computer what you want and it generates a command line prompt with an explanation of how it works.

It takes less power to run my local model than it does to play Baldur's Gate 3, but I haven't seen anybody shaming people for playing games. Not every LLM is a giant wasteful cloud provider, many are open source and self hosted.

It's kind of like saying all vehicles are gas guzzling enormous pickup trucks and therefore nobody should travel anywhere. Self hosting on a PC you already own is more like riding a bike in this metaphor.

I hate JKR too, but she literally did. Wizard clothes are enchanted with protego charms which turn away any mundane attacks, and wizards really have no reason to fear muggles. During the witch trials some would allow themselves to be burned at the stake because they liked how the flames tickle. It's very much a 'magic must defeat magic' setting.
