You are kinda missing the point.

It’s not about how energy efficient or inefficient a single ChatGPT prompt is.

It’s that A/C is arguably more important to an individual than your ability to use AI. But while the government asking people to reduce AC usage is not new, AI is.

So we’re introducing new and unnecessary ways to draw power while asking people to tolerate higher temperatures within their homes.

My personal take is that we should be investing in nuclear power so we continue evolving as a society. But I guess we can hold back progress in the name of puttering along with other technology as the world slowly burns and people cook inside their homes

And nowhere in there did you touch on how sending a kid to the store for striped paint could somehow cause trauma, rather than teach a valuable lesson about gullibility, critical thinking, and being able to laugh at one’s self.

Not everything in this world is as serious as escaping a country to avoid punishment or death for who you are. Having the emotional intelligence to differentiate between the serious and light hearted is something a person should develop when they’re young or life will be much harder for them.

My god guys it was terrible, my Dad sent me to the store for a bucket of steam, and the cashier laughed at me.

How was I supposed to know steam didn’t come in pre-packaged buckets? Nobody ever explained the particulars of steam packaging!

Literally nothing worse could ever happen to me. Now I’ll be in therapy for years.

Just someone with life experience 🤷‍♂️

And honestly I’m just amazed at how thin skinned people are that they’re labeling a harmless joke as traumatizing. If you really need everything in life explained to you, expect to not get very far.

Good lord, of this is your definition of trauma, you’ve had an incredible life

Yeah. In this case you’d need to know that paint is a liquid, and comes in a can. Is it logical that paint is going to come in stripes? How would that be applied to a brush? How would that be applied to a wall?

If you take 2 seconds to think you realize this is a nonsensical request.

If you think everything in this world needs to be explained to you, you aren’t going to get very far. Also an important lesson to learn.

Learning to use a software interface, or the intricacies of how a thing works is not necessarily dependant on critical thinking. Understanding that a light bulb is not powered by blinker fluid, or that a liquid paint could not possibly be sold and applied to a wall in stripes is dependent on critical thinking.

It’s critical thinking. In life, it’s not always about knowing but about understanding.

It’s also about having thick skin and the ability to take a joke. Nobody is hurt, it is funny when you think about it, and it will encourage you to think about things in the future.

I do not need to know turn signals don’t require blinker fluid. Because it’s a fuckin light bulb.

The people in this comments section are acting like this is somehow traumatic. How fucking sheltered are you people?

The cost is too high? Seriously?

You’re not paying anything for the service. You have no concept of what their costs are. You’re mildly inconvenienced by some annoying and slightly obtrusive ads.

It’s a business, not a charity. And they owe you nothing.

Sponsored search placements haven’t really changed. Most ads are run through AdWords which are found across the web and on mobile apps. Even this post is about ads run within videos. Thus unrelated to search.

Yeah, completely agree. But this is also Lemmy. The majority of users are either a communist or almost a communist. And usually have a pretty bad understanding of what that even entails. Generally they just want everything to be free or paid for by someone else.

Who do you expect to pay for it?

Always was. How tf do you think they make money

So many people in this comment section are pissed that YouTube isn’t both free and ad-free. It’s mind blowing.

Yes, YouTube is a business and exists to generate revenue.

It’s definitely written by someone who’s never used a VR headset. It only takes a second to realize that these screens are nowhere near the resolution of your eye. Ya know, cause small text that would be easily read on my phone is blurry as fuck on a VR headset

Mostly fine. Some people will kill other players to take the samples they collect (in game credits for upgrades) which is just silly because all credits are shared by all players.

Wow didn’t see that the first time

I am very well aware of the automated pricing tools in Amazon. The accounts under my management will do over $3.5 million in sales this month. I will also manage almost $1 million in ad spend. I may be the only person in this comment section with a qualified opinion.

These tools cannot adjust price based on customer data. They can adjust pricing based on competitor prices, and based on how many units you are currently selling. That is all.

An engine increasing in size by 1 liter does not make the vehicle itself larger. These vehicles exist, that is not changing. Manufacturers are working to make these engines more efficient.

The ability to win the buy box is exceptionally predictable.

It is based on a combination of factors. The price point, fulfillment method, shipping cost, and feedback provided by customers about each individual seller.

If I am the brand owner, using Fulfillment by Amazon, have the lowest price, and good seller feedback, I will win.

If you come on the listing a lower price, no shipping cost, and equivalent feedback, but you are shipping the item yourself and have a slightly lower feedback rating, you will not win the buy box.

The system is not rigged against the customer. Amazon is attempting to improve the customer experience, with price just being part of it

Prices do not vary based on estimated income. Pricing control is not that granular.
