The AI cost of water isn’t really a big deal in comparison to the consumption of water through crops and other means worldwide.
I heard the cost of water for AI worldwide is 1/80 the water consumption of corn in America alone.
What is a big deal is the money invested towards it is holding up our economy, (when it could be spent on making society better) creating fake news and impersonating humans at a rapid rate.
Also, the machine costs $500B/year to operate and generates less than $2B in gross revenue. So John Shareholder is going to need a multi-trillion dollar bailout in a year or two.
They are hoping to become profitable “soon”.
I love big tech’s products after the startup funding designed to kill competition has been spent. It’s really the sweet spot where the product doesn’t function efficiently anymore AND it costs more than the original product or service it replaced AND any human workers involved are not protected as employees.
Now I just noticed how far fucking down those pants are.
Profits over everything else is the goal of capitalism.
It’s not even profitable though… At this point it seems it is just about control, like they would rather have a money pit then let independent workers, ie creatives, have any profit.
But capitalists think it can let them eliminate jobs so we have to go all in no matter what
ChatGPT is a child molester
i dont hate ai it but should be limited AND MODERATED. WDYM İ CAN MANİPULATE A BOT AND ASK FOR A BOMB RECİPE FOR A “fiction”
it’s more of a tool that can read all the books at once, but it also doesn’t know how to judge its contents, so the user will still need to judge what it said themselves and not blindly trust it. (You can also find books about making the same bombs)
I think ai can be useful and beneficial to the world if used correctly. This is not possible within the capitalist system however.
Yeah, I think objectively the “A.I.'s” are kind of neat, like those old desktop pal cats kinda of neat, cost almost nothing to run. But A.I. costs such an extreme ammount of resources to run enitre cities could be run in its deficits alone. We do not have the energy, water, or computers to run it, but something is bankrolling it.
Time magazine: let’s make em person of the year!
Person of the Year is not an endorsement of their practices, it’s really just whoever dominated the news cycle that year. Both Hitler and Stalin have been Person of the Year. Sometimes it’s not even people, like “The Computer” in 1982.
Did you read the article? If its not endorsement its at least pandering.
You know, if you don’t massively and stupidly exaggerate, it’s not evil!
I mean already is given the estimates we have for power and water use, not to mention the way it is being used it is blatantly “evil” yes.
