"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.

That's fucking insane. Do you have a source for that that you can share?
Try running a local video generation model like DALLE-3 on your machine; or just generate a few frames, like 96 sequentially in FLUX at 1024×1024.
Video generation is a lot harder on GPUs than single image gen.
My own local performance is 480W with consumer level hardware, and obviously enterprise grade can be about 5× more efficient (see: Nvidia H200/600W) depending on optimizations, load balancing, and highest grade chipsets, but overall, it's still a pretty gigantic computer task to generate even a five minute long video from scratch.
A+ example and description
I don't have a machine capable of any of that kind of compute. And W doesn't tell me much about the amount of energy used.
