Fuck AI

"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.

Sam Altman would like remind you that humans use a lot of energy, too | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

“But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human,” Altman said. “It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart. And not only that, it took the very widespread evolution of the 100 billion people that have ever lived and learned not to get eaten by predators and learned how to figure out science and whatever, to produce you.”

So in his view, the fair comparison is, “If you ask ChatGPT a question, how much energy does it take once its model is trained to answer that question versus a human? And probably, AI has already caught up on an energy efficiency basis, measured that way.”

Punchable face.

Sam Altman can go fuck himself with a retractable baton

Maybe someday he can learn about how much energy a guillotine uses 🥰

Him in particular

[–] kboos1@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

How about he ask AI how to fix it's own problems. We created an infrastructure for us humans so he can go kick rocks and figure his own problems instead of expecting us to do it.

I'm hearing, "We will save the planet by killing all humans."

But what about the droid attack on the Wookie home world?!

Same energy. it's irrelevant.

I thought for sure this was going to be the onion.

[–] frosty@pawb.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

He sure does. A lot of it is hot air and waste.

It's sometimes shocking to remember that some people (who happen to be rich, powerful and possibly intelligent!) aren't some flavor of humanist, and quite the opposite, don't really value human life or experience at all.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Of course not, they're narcissistic misanthropes with more money.

Imagine fucking that guy in the ass. He looks very sodomizable.
