one assessment suggests that ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI in San Francisco, California, is already consuming the energy of 33,000 homes. It’s estimated that a search driven by generative AI uses four to five times the energy of a conventional web search. Within years, large AI systems are likely to need as much energy as entire nations.
Lots of people give a shit, they’re just not in any sort of position to do anything about it.
We won’t treat climate change seriously until we get a significant climate related mass casualty event in North America.
As soon as the gulf streams collapse I think a few more of us may start giving a shit.
Giving a shit about the horse barn after someone’s already let out all the horses doesn’t really make a difference.
Have you met humanity??
Yep. We suck. I’m reminded of it every day.
I think that’s their point
Nah, there were some people worried about it, but it won’t happen.

So what you’re saying is that it’s fine?
At the point it’s too late.
I think that was the point they were making.
*The AMOC. The Gulf Stream can’t really collapse.

Hey now. Rule one of this community is “Be civil - Attack the argument, not the person.” What does any of this genocide stuff have to do with the argument being discussed here?
The discussion here? Nothing. The person trying to have a discussion with me? Everything. Because yesterday, he said that I support genocide both due to the fact that I will do anything to keep Trump out of office to save my queer daughter’s life and due the the fact that I exist. And now he wants to chat with me as if he never said that.
No one did anything about it in this community when he said those things. And, believe it or not, the topic of discussion was not genocide.
Why should I let someone who was that hateful towards me act like nothing was ever said a day later?
I’m with you on this 100% and not just because my own queer daughter’s life is on the line.
If we are gonna play the ‘be civil’ card, play it on everyone. Certainly don’t overlook people accusing others of genocide. You’d think that didn’t need to be said but shrug
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Because it’s against the sub’s rules to attack him personally.
Why not block him? You’ll never see him again.
He attacked me personally repeatedly and nothing was done. Why is he being held to a different standard?

I’m not holding him to a different standard. I wasn’t in whatever fight you and he might have had, I don’t know what community it happened in.

Man, fuck this fence-sitting purity culture. Get that fence post out of your ass.
Which fence am I sitting on?
Both sides bad.
Well good thing for me I live in Canada and don’t have to sit on the fence. I can say for sure that both sides are bad. How many billions of dollars has Biden sent to bomb more brown kids in Gaza?

If you think the decision on who to vote for in the 2024 US Presidential election is morally black and white, and that the genocide of Palestinians is by far the most important issue, then we lack a common basis for any worthwhile discussion.
Everything I have heard from you and others who bring up the same talking points suggests that is precisely the case.
