"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

Building new engines is quite energy intensive, in particular if used as a backup. Reusing ones that are unsafe or otherwise inefficient for that may be a harm reducing choice.
Just because it sounds crazy and ridiculous doesn't mean it is. A jet engine just turns fuel into useful energy. Just like any turbine, really.
Edit: please note that Byop is a retarded concept. The power grid is most efficient if used everywhere to the greatest extend plausible.
It puts more unnecessary heat into the atmosphere to power unnecessary data centers for unnecessary pretend intelligence
Then that's a data center, not a jet engine generator problem.
