I miss the internet where we tricked our friends into looking at a picture of a man’s gaping asshole with zero consequences instead of the one where you have to put a little manual strike through “tits” just in case somewhere an algorithm will autoban you for it.
Honestly who keeps doing that crap because things aren’t that locked down fuck sake.

Tbh, I don’t miss that. Neither do I miss spacedicks.
A family member had this “infamous” email chain. The subject was good, not spammy or obvious, but generic enough to be innocuous.
Length was perfect. Layers of FWDs, pages of them. Enough that you scroll to the point that you’re about to give up, but can’t.
At this point you’re not really even paying attention to the email, you’re just sadistic enough to have to reach the end of the email…
That’s when you look back at the email & there’s a woman goatse’ing you with an apple up her butt.

Who’s out here censoring tits? The OP? That’s dumb, you can swear on the internet.
Someone else? Maybe go get a fresh screenshot.
Why is the word tits censored? Also I am going to see these women with five boobs to evaluate the claim.
Yes, I’m also curious of where the results of such devilry are posted.
To avoid them.
But there are so many AI adult image sites.
Which one?
FIVE tits? That’s disgusting, where is it?
I already found a LoRa for multiple breasts once so… Yeah…
Disclaimer: I only use AI for personal and shitpost use. I do not use it for anything professional, nor for profit, nor for online clout. I also only use “open source” models, and open source generators.
You dont gotta explain yourself for nobody
They don’t gotta never not explain themselves for nobody
🤔
Don’t = -1
Never = -1
Not = -1
-1 * -1 * -1 = -1
~ They don’t have to explain themselves for nobody.
So it’s the same comment.
Let me know if I have made a mistake.
With how much communities can quickly become echo chambers, even more on community with strong opinions, there’s always going to be that one person that takes offence.
So better be safe than having to proactively explain.
That’s kind of the point. If someone is offended by something, fuck 'em.
You don’t have to explain yourself for nobody.

Cities asking residents to use less power is largely due to the fact that most cities have no direct policy power to regulate electricity use. Electricity use is primarily the domain of state/provider policy. Cities asking residents to lower power usage is thereby an ask for residents to collectively work to avoid brown/black out situations for the collective good. Messaging like this without a similar ask to the tech/industrial community would still be short sighted at best.
Yeah we just found out (we as a city knew, just without confirmation) who the ‘mystery’ business is that’s building a server farm on the outskirts of city limits. And they’ve got a 10 year tax break from the city on the land.
I’ll turn my AC down when google turns their Power Plans to Eco for those servers
A couple of years back, the official Twitter account of some police force (Maryland?) made a post during a heat wave that was like, “dear criminals: it’s hot as balls outside, can we call a truce and postpone crime for a few days so none of us has to be out there in it? Thanks”
I wonder what that last word is.
Tots. A girl with five tots. She has this cookbook:
Tuts. She’s very British.
tats, short for tattoos.
It is a mistery.
Why didn’t you post those 5 boob women pictures?
Listen here sassy missy, we need to advance AI. The human workforce is not going to replace itself you know.
Its l worse than that, its got nothing to do with replacing humans. Its entirely Venture Capalist porn full of hot air. Truely amazing how much money is being wasted on a word predictor.
I still want to know why tits was censored
79F/26C is a pretty reasonable day-time temperature…
Depends on the person and what they were acclimated to as the norm in an area. I start to get increasingly disfunctional starting at about 75f, once it gets to 80f it is difficult for me to focus on tasks that aren’t directly related to cooling myself down, and 85f+ my day is a wash
Medical conditions also play a role in it. I’m on medications that make me wicked susceptible to overheating. I start melting at 75°F if there is even a mild amount of humidity. And that’s at home where I can dress comfortably.
You gotta condition yourself to it. Don’t start at 80F, but work your way up to it over spring.
This is the way to go. Without conditioning I’d die when running at 30C. But with gradually rising temperatures you get accustomed to it. There are nicer things in life but it’s absolutely possible
What different people can handle is wild. I mowed yesterday through 98° weather. It was miserably fucking hot, but I wasn’t impaired.
However, when it’s slightly below freezing and we get half an inch of snow? Everything shuts down for a week and no one can function.
Yeah and I thrive below freezing lol. My mood improves, I have more energy, I get very excited and active, bonus points if it has been overcast for months I love that shit. Honestly I think I have SAD the opposite direction of most people
No
Nah, anything over 22° sucks in the sun
Signed, A Canadian
It’s 26.7c @ 62% humidity in my office right now. It’s fine (the aircon will kick on monetarily to bring the humidity back down). However, had you asked me this years ago, I would have thought you were insane. I lived in a much cooler place and people had the air on all summer set down to like 22c. I’ve gotten used to my new climate (well, more used to it, anyway), and it helps that I don’t have to go spend all day in an office whose temperature I don’t control.
Yeah, there was definitely a point where I’d have thought the same. Then I started shifting the setpoint up little by little. It’s something that takes time. But if you spend a lot of time in a place that keeps it way too cold all day, it’s harder to adapt. I guess you could just intentionally overdress, so you are a bit warm despite the cold temperature, but that seems like a waste.
I find 27⁰C comfortable when not moving at home.
Lmao, not even at all
Maybe if you’re down south but us northerners start sweating at 20c
Acclimation just takes practice. Its not like southerners are genetically different. And plenty of southerns have the same problem because they’re willing to pay like $500/month to keep their houses an icebox in the summer and don’t spend time outside in the summer…
While Tru but at the same time southerners have all year long to acclimate to hot weather meanwhile people up north have to go to work in the cold winter half the year and only have the summer to acclimate to hot weather
Well, the only different is who use AI to generate trash are rich, and who need power is under-privi people.
Not a fan of disinformation so I’ll post this here as well:
I run ComfyUI locally on my own Laptop and generating an image takes 4 seconds, during which my 3070 Laptop GPU uses 80 Watts (the maximum amount of power it can use). It also fully uses one of the 16 threads of my i7-11800H (TDP of 45W). Let’s overestimate a bit and say it uses 100% of the CPU (even though in reality it’s only 6.25%), which adds 45 watts resulting in 125 watts (or 83 watts if you account for the fact that it only uses one thread).
That’s 125 watts for 4 seconds for one image, or about 0.139 WH (0.000139KWH). That would be 7200 images per KWH. Playing one hour of Cyberpunk on a PS5 (assuming 200 watts) would be equivalent to me generating 1440 images on my laptop.

Sure, but neither will be fixed with voluntary action. Both will point to the other as a reason to do nothing.
We need legislation and regulation to require energy efficiency and clean energy production. If that means kWh get more expensive, then that is the true price of energy. Cheap, deregulated energy is writing checks our grandchildren will have to cash.
100 sq meters of solar cells per house (with batteries and inverters) should do a lot of good.
Centralization is more efficient and less wasteful.
The beauty of solar is it scales up/down without much fuss whereas you can’t just run a coal fire plant for your home. We can build what makes sense for each community/home.
Sure, but it’s more efficient to have the number of panels necessary for the community (neighborhood, city, etc) than having everyone get what they need for their individual peak…
Having centralized solar doesn’t preclude a homeowner from also installing solar, and decentralized green energy has other advantages over centralized green energy.
less wasteful
Where’s the waste? If you collect more than you use, you can store it or send it back to the grid. If this is an efficiency concern (“you’re collecting less energy than the same amount of paneling would”), then it’s not really relevant as by that same logic, not having solar is “more wasteful” than having it.
The waste is if it’s truly decentralized then everyone needs to be able to provide enough for their individual peak while a centralized system can be made to handle the highest peak of the day for many households while also providing enough for people whose peak is at different hours.
From a material requirement perspective being able to provide just what we need and not more is the most efficient. Batteries are great, the material required to make them still has a huge environmental impact and isn’t unlimited.
It’s really sad this is downvoted
AI isn’t yet slurping any significantly obscene amount of power from the grid, although as it gets more ubiquitous that will surely change. The individual data centers are massive things but they are outnumbered by orders of magnitude by all the rest of it
The big villain in senseless datacenter power usage is cryptocurrency
Plus most of the rest of it, of course, acres of racks burning through the world’s resources to run the world’s ten millionth pink slime news factory or Youtube click fakery cluster, or whatever
But AI isn’t yet adding its useless weight to the groaning pile in any significant way
it’s also completely useless, and even it’s hyped up by the same people who sticked around crypto when it was a thing
It’s not completely useless, it just not the silver fucking bullet that the cryptobros promised it was. It can do a lot of cool shit, but we keep trying to make it do things it’s really not equipped to do.
They’re talking about “AI”, not crypto, the crypto bros part of their comment is about it being the same people that jumped on the crypto wagon and defend the energy waste.
I was using cryptobros as a proxy for the people that hyped AI. I feel like that venn diagram is a circle.
Fair enough and I agree
I feel
Well as long as you feel it is true.
And if I use “I feel” instead of a more concrete assertion, it’s clear from context that I don’t have any data to back that up off hand and am implicitly making a wider assertion that the people they hyped crypto are the same or akin to the people who are hyping AI.
Feel free to disprove me.
Not on me to disprove your, cough… argument…cough.
Learn how standards of evidence work. “I feel” you got some reading to do.
I love this mindset. It’s so regressive, it’s like watching old people form
for the “value” it provides (automated spam, new wave of deepfakes and tailor made propaganda, facilitating layoffs with genai as a failed replacement, and most importantly of all hyping openai stock) any amount of resources spent is a massive waste
Eh. I’ve built multiple apps in very short succession thanks to GPT. I don’t really care if people think it’s useful or not, I know it is.

You’re being made obsolete by your own tool and you don’t even realize it.
It’s so far off being able to make software, it’s smart but will never be that smart… Well if it does we’re all done for.
It’s a fantastic tool for getting a layout for your code however.
How far off is it from being able to make code well enough that your immediate manager, with basic coding skills, can just do it? Because that’s going to happen to a lot of people and soon.
Mate you’re babbling like an old man too. Spam has been automated for a long time. Deepfakes are indeed a problem I agree, but again Photoshop has existed for a long time. Tailor made propaganda has existed as long as civilization has existed. Companies in tech space hand their staff layoffs and hiring in cycles, AI was just the latest excuse. And OpenAI isn’t even publicly traded.
Stop talking shit and touch grass.
Rather than merely wagging the finger at each weekly villain, we should work towards policy that internalizes the cost of energy.
Based on what, your gut feeling?
Here’s an article based directly on Microsoft’s own sustainability reports outright saying that their electricity consumption has gone up 30% because of AI: https://www.latitudemedia.com/news/microsoft-reveals-the-energy-impact-of-artificial-intelligence
This is a pretty good article about it, with this being the relevant graph:
:format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25245947/Screenshot_2024_01_24_at_11.23.05_AM.png)
Like I say, it’s going to become a significant thing, and I’m sure for the tiny fraction of all the world’s data centers that are operated by Microsoft specifically it already is, but it isn’t yet, on a global scale.
Fair, but it’s pretty much on track to be the new crypto of energy usage. We’re just a few years out for it to get fully ramped up
Is that the verge as a source
Not really. The primary sources for the chart are actually in the image, and there’s a link in the Verge article if you’re able to read academic papers.
It was a joke
?
I still do not understand the joke then
The verge put out a really terrible PC building guide about 5 years ago which hurt their reputation. So the joke is just that the verge isn’t trust worthy.
But that was 5 years ago and they corrected their mistakes since.
Sure, crypto is certainly worse.
But ChatGPT uses the equivalent power of 17,000 households according to this article.
Doing a rough comparison: 500k KWh * 365 / 240 billion KWh= ChatGPT uses ~0.076% of the power that Crypto uses.
Just to put Crypto into perspective.
PS: The 500k is from the article (which states it’s per day), and the 240 billion for crypto is the first result I saw from Google, so take with a grain of salt.
edit: I only just now saw which space (?) this is from. Please don’t bully me, I’m only here for the discussion (which so far has been civil).
“Nobody asked for?”

You hate ai because it’s a better artist than you.
I hate AI cause frank Herbert warned us.
We are not the same
Douglas Adams also warned us. Every AI in his books is either malfunctioning or an asshole or both. He clearly had no faith in the concept of AI, especially not what corporations would do with it.
And then Elon tweets this:
Grok is an AI modeled after The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, so intended to answer almost anything and, far harder, even suggest what questions to ask!
They don’t even understand the warnings.
And named after, I think, Stranger In a Strange Land,
Heinlein also had some interesting AI and immortal human themes in his works.
Also, unlike Elon, Heinlein cared more of the future of humanity beyond his own self-interest. Pretty much everything he ever wrote was preaching his ideas on how to make everything work better. Some of those ideas were kind of nutty, but he wasn’t proposing them in order to enrich himself.
This guy gets it.
Great book
Haven’t gone further than the main series.
I’m more a fan of Foundation myself but in my mind’s eye they’re practically the same universe lol.
Ah, Brian isn’t as skilled a writer as frank for certain, but he still tells a good story that’s worth at least one read through.
Canon is Canon after all
