Literally yes, it’s part of why art is sublime. All emotions are irrational to some extent.

Trying to get over your work related burnout through doing more work - is probably the dumbest AND worst idea I’ve heard in a while. Why would anyone do that other than that they’re in a kind of pathological denial or hace unresolved issues driving such behavior.

It’s irrational.

Part of why Lemmy can federate and why they’re so innovative is because they’re not stored in a traditional server space, instead, theyre run on old Bitcoin graphics cards . Some of which AMD 600 - 1000 series, are supposedly easier to network and run in parallel, so when I talk about AMD Lemmy, I mean using thise parts of Lemmy as a bridge, or network gateway to Threads.

I love how this is painted as hacking when the root cause is an unrestricted number of telco subsideries that pay for access to the system, this then essentially gives them the powers and credentials to monitor, intercept, and clone anyone’s phone and send/receive their messages/calls (Linus Tech Tips teamed up with Derek from Veritasium to show the extent to which it can be done, stealing his identity to intercept texts to and from his wife).

This is a product of the market deregulations of Capitalism. Capitalism is once again a security risk to citizens of free democracies. Shit happens all the time.

BlueSky seems like an obviously better fit. The more corporate interests are protected on and by Lemmy the less interesting it is…

…and plaves like c/News are already there to mostly protect and defend corporate interests.

I hope Captain Beverly Crusher was okay… And that none of her crew became sexy ghosts.

Blizzard wants to hide the fact that Warcraft and Warcraft II were fun, and in a completely different genre than WoW…

…and they weren’t subscription model games. I liked those games. Good Solo games, very replayable with various AI skirmish modes, and you could even get a map editor.

Now for the very dark inference we can make here: Geordi had his visor on this setting while he was hanging out with Wesley.

We live in a techno feudalism, it’s not a democracy, it’s no longer Capitalism. It’s Capitalism almost completely mediated through elite technocrats. The only freedom we have, the only potential for regaining control, is boycotting via massive, well organized, well understood, well conducted unsubscription programs, and campaigns. Lightening fast protest statements where we control who we fund, which services we use, and which we deny and defund by taking our usage data away (and their services away from us which takes discipline). Denying them data to sell, and profits/subscriptions.

This is the future politics we have to start discussing with others, the idea we have to spread, as it’s currently the only way to have a say within this current state of techno feudalism.

If we don’t we will end up in subscription model nations, living as slaves, with end user agreements, rather than human rights.

Nuclear plants being reopened for the sake of AI?!!

Do you have ANY evidence this is happening?

It is a closed loop, but the paper treats it as if it’s an open loop, and counts all water use for the building, as well as all the water that went into creating any equipment used… and the water that escapes power plants in powering the buildings… it also includes any other buildings that might house related services. Here is the original “study” which is about what maths could be done given the above assumptions:

http://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.03271

In short, it has nothing to do with reality, and is more just an attempt at the authors to get their names out there (on bad science that the media is interested in publicizing for click bait reasons).

The study that suggests 10-50 interactions with ChatGPT evaporates a whole bottle of water, doesn’t account for the fact that cooling systems are enclosed…

…and that “study” is based on a bunch of assumptions, which include evaporation from local power plants, as well as the entire buildings GPT’s servers are located in. It does this as if one user is served at a time, and the organizations involved (such as microsoft) do nothing BUT serve one use at a time. So the “study” (which isn’t peer reviewed and never got published) pretends those buildings don’t also serve bing, or windows, or all the other functions microsoft is involved with. It instead assumes whole buildings at microsoft are dedicated to serving just one user of ChatGPT at a time.

It also includes the manufacture of all the serve and graphics cards equipment, even though the former was used before ChatGPT, and will be used for other things as well… and the latter is only used in training.

You can check the study out yourself here:

http://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.03271

It’s completely junk. Worthless. Even uses a click bait title, and keeps talking about “the secret water foot print” as if it’s uncovering some conspiracy. It’s bunk science.

P.S It also doesn’t seem to understand that the bulk of GPT’s training was a one time cost, paid in 2021, with one smaller update in 2023.

Israel planned to bomb US and UK targets in Egypt in a false flag called the Lavon Affair.

Israel tried to sink the USS Liberty (killing US citizens).

Israel stole Uranium from US Uranium stock piles when the US said they weren’t allowed to have a nuclear program (eg. They started one anyway with stolen US Uranium).

Israel isn’t some friend to the US. It never has been. Lashing out at the UK in defence of Netanyahu’s war crimes is just part of the self-hatred America shows for its self in the name of Israel.

America - who soon under Trump may halt all support of Ukraine and leave Europe to fend for its self against Russia (but probably won’t due to other powers that be).

The point is, America keeps threatening its European allies in the name of people doing war crimes (Putin and Netanyahu)… It’s starting to look like; How you say - an axis of evil.

It will be preserved and replaced within 70 years. I mean, imagine if the Internet was around in the 50s, and we had an AI trained from it.

It would be a novel curiosity, but not the one we go to for up to date information.

So “our” LLM that we’re encoded on will too be updated and replaced.

Not much of an afterlife. Language might not even be the same in 50 years, no cap skibidi.

I wonder how long until Xitter does this sort of thing to the EU Disease Information account:

Community Note:

Covid 19 is not real.

I feel like that level of misinformation is now possible there.

I don’t think the people still on X are going to be listening to the EU disease agency account.

They should (as you say) go where the people are… Which is threads and BlueSky. Follow the crowd.

I get the feeling the BlueSky vs Threads thing will take a while to resolve.

i think the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition might be too principled and honourable for these guys.

He doesn’t have the lobes.

If you want to know the actual reason is that Roddenberry planned for his wife (Marjel Barrett) to be Number 1 in TOS and basically have the ship deeply dependent on her. The Studio canned the idea, and she was relegated to playing nurse Chapel.

So TNG was a chance to revive the idea with Counsellor Troi looking after the whole ship via her job, but this too was downgraded so she was just another character on the show rather than the center of the crew’s lives.
