They’re competing to be the lead idiot.

It’s definitely Reddit attempting more censorship and manipulation of the front page, but I’m still happy the powermods are being fucked.

The social media companies have been burying Gaza news for years now, with both parties in full participation. Who the fuck said there’s been no moderation?

If it were reality, you’d have some recent data. Might as well make projections on computer power use by starting with the ENIAC, and then you can claim computers are consuming more than our current energy output.

LoL. Guess I can just get rid of phone’s processor then, huh?

And again, you link an image from an outdated study. Because the new data shows the use declining, so it wouldn’t help your fear mongering.

Except that’s not at all what they’re doing. Most of the impact studies are already outdated, and the models are shrinking and becoming more efficient.

Used to love Sabine, but the channel’s been taken over by sloppy clickbait.

As usual, Politico’s whitewashing the significant Democrat contributions to the tech censorship regime. This isn’t something you can fix with party politics.

A lot of these studies they list are already years outdated and irrelevant. The models are much more efficient now, and it’s mainly the Musk owned AI data centers that are high pollution. Most of the pollution from the majority of data centers is not from AI, but other use.

The old room-sized ENIAC computers used 150-200 kW of power, and couldn’t do even a fraction of what your smart phone can do. The anti-AI people are taking advantage of most people’s ignorance, intentionally using outdated studies, and implying that the power usage will continue to grow- when in fact it has already shrunk dramatically.

It depends on the surveillance coverage. If it’s widespread enough, they can track you between your departure and arrival locations. You’d also need two more disguises for both entering and exiting.

And of course, if you have a cell phone on you that pings anything, the jig is up.

The study they’re basing the ‘AI slows down programmers’ on forces software engineers to use AI in their workflow, without any previous experience with that workflow.

Artists and creators already don’t control their intellectual property. The megacorporations do, and they have always violated the intellectual property rights of small artists with little to no consequences.

Intellectual property laws are a recent and catastrophic mistake. For the majority of the history of our species, no one could retain sole ownership of art. And it was better. We make the best art when we trade it back & forth and reiterate on it.

We should scrap intellectual property laws, and heavily tax corporate AI use to fund a national artists stipend to provide them a good standard of living.

Setup Lidarr, and subscribe to lists for curated content. Pretty sure you can even subscribe to Spotify lists for it to auto download. But finding people who make lists recommending new stuff you like is probably the best route to go.

There’s been a few stories outing the feds as running most illegal porn sites on the dark net.

Well what do you mean with the lifting metaphor?

Many people who use AI are doing it to supplement their workflow. Not replace it entirely, though you wouldn’t know that with all these ragebait articles.

Oh, thank god you made sure to clarify you didn’t. Someone may have gotten confused!

Exactly. Who gives a shit?

I mean… I could recite the exact setup of mine in detail, but I’d probably be happier if my brain matter was dedicated to something else. Do not shame the ignorant. Envy them.

LoL. These damn kids! No one wants to re-invent the wheel anymore! Well, if you’re not duplicating the works of Hipparchus of Nicaea, you’re a lazy good for nothing!

Do you believe that using AI locks you out of doing something any other way again?

Sure, and it’s important to know how to perform math functions without a calculator. But once you learn it, and move on to something more advanced or day-to-day work, you use the calculator.

Look at this lazy fucker learning trig from someone else, instead of creating it from scratch!
