    See, the thing is, I watch piss porn. Hear me out. I told my friend that the thing is, to do piss porn, you kind of have to be into it. You could try and fake it, but it wouldn’t be very convincing. So, my contention is, piss porn is more genuine than other types of porn, because the people partaking are statistically more likely to enjoy doing that type of porn. Which is great, I think, because then they really get into it, which is hot. It’s that enjoyment that gets me off. Their enjoyment.

    She said, “Krooklochurm, you’re an idiot. Anyone can fake liking getting pissed in the face.”

    So I said, “Well, if you’re so adamant, get in the tub and I’ll piss in your mouth, and let’s see if it’s as easy as you claim.”

    So she said, “All right. If I can fist you in the ass afterwards.”

    Which I felt was a fair deal, so I took it.

    My (formal) position was strengthened significantly by the former event. And I can also attest that I could not convincingly fake enjoying being ass-fisted.

    What does that have to do with anything, you ask? Genuinity. The real deal. That’s what.

    Ya evolution is pretty cool.

    And on that note the human physiology sacrifices quite a bit for its intelligence.

    For example the reason humans come out as babies is because if they came out with a full sized brains they’d kill the mother!

    It’s all about the most proficient use of energy.

    Compare 1 human to one LLM session, instead of one human to all LLMs on Earth, and you’ll see that we’re way less efficient

    All it really takes is the Limitless pill. The protagonist in the movie Limitless gets so much done after taking the Limitless pill in the movie Limitless. Limitless is a movie about a man who discovers the Limitless pill to help him accomplish almost limitless amount of things. But he learns that there is a limit that the Limitless pill can do if he takes it for too long. Because the Limitless pill isn’t really limitless.

      It gets somewhat retconned in the TV series though where he’s basically just this political genius who secretly runs everything.

      The TV show is a lot better than it has any right to be, it’s a shame it only got one season.

    I think we’re at a point were the hardware right now does not fit with the algorithm being used. Since they take so much power due to our computers being digital. Having a transistor only capable of holding 1 state (0V or 5V usually) is eneffecient. The heat add up as you multiply especially with LLMs. There seems to be a potential for analog where a transistor acts more on a range 0 - 5v. Which in theory could store more information or directly represent what LLM runs on (floating point). For more context 1 float tends to be 32bits. 1 bit is 1 transistor so 1 float = 32 transistor. While an analog transistor could be 1 float = 1 analog transistor.

    I think the entire idea of ai and the Internet in general taking up power and water needs to be fleshed out and explained to everyone. Even to me it’s a vague notion, I heard about it a few years back but can’t explain it to someone like my parents who would have no idea the Internet requires water to run

      It’s not too hard. AI requires a LOT of work. Work requires energy. Some energy is wasted during this and the byproduct is heat. The heat has to be removed for many reasons, and water is very good at doing that.

      It’s like sweating, it cools you down. But you need water to sweat.

    So, you are saying, I should mix my cocaine with twix bars for maximum efficiency? (Would still be stupid, but now more efficiently)??

    Back when I was in college, grad students in physics seemed to live on frozen burritos (thawed and cooked in the microwave), and cherry coke.

    Wasn’t there an article posted yesterday about a group trying to create a biological computer that was living cells do to their efficiency of use on less power? (They are far from close, they basically took skin cells, ionized them, and had no idea how they were going to get them to stay alive long term yet.

      Even that won’t be anywhere close to the efficiency of neurons.

      And actual neurons are not comparable to transistors at all. For starters the behaviour is completely different, closer to more complex logic gates built from transistors, and they’re multi-pathway, AND don’t behave as binary as transistors do.

      Which is why AI technology needs so much power. We’re basically virtualising a badly understood version of our own brains. Think of it like, say, PlayStation 4 emulation - it’s kinda working but most details are unknown and therefore don’t work well, or at best have a “close enough” approximaion of behaviour, at the cost of more resource usage. And virtualisation will always be costly.

      Or, I guess, a better example would be one of the many currently trending translation layers (e.g. SteamOS’s Proton or macOS’ Rosetta or whatever Microsoft was cooking for Windows for the same purpose, but also kinda FEX and Box86/Box64), versus virtual machines. The latter being an approximation of how AI relates to our brains (and by AI here I mean neural network based AI applications, not just LLMs).

    and some of the most intelligent people are cast out from society because they don’t fit the culture of arrogance.
