We are ripe for another Luddite movement with this giant AI grift the Tech Bros are forcing on us.

King Cuck says no more holidays while golfing his presidency away.

Looks like it costs about tree kitty.

I know you are willfully being ignorant here as AI data centers are projected to use more electricity than the entire nation of Japan by 2030.

Your own hosted LLM is not the problem nor the issue we are even discussing and quite frankly a little insulting you bring it up

I am not anymore anti-AI than any tool that you can’t determine is accurate nor correct if there is an issue with it. LLM have a long way to go before they are even a fraction of what they claim to be.

Another problem is they do not cite where they get their answers from. Without the ability to audit the answers you are given you won’t know how accurate they are.

I have listed several legitimate gripes about LLM. I find your fanboism misplaced and I think you are just playing devil’s advocate at this point. AI is a hype train and I am sick of it already.

It takes an enormous amount of energy and processing power to create these shitty snapshots so in many ways it is doom considering it will dramatically increase our energy usage.

I get it, you are an AI supporter but you fail to critically analyze it or even understand it. What tool would you use that you can’t correct errors to or even determine how it works. You are really operating on faith here that the black box your getting an answer from is giving you the correct answer.

Perhaps a code snippet works, but after this is where it all falls apart. What if the snippet does not work or causes a problem. The LLM has nothing to offer you here.

LLM are poor snapshots of a search engine with no way to fix any erroneous data. If you search something on Stack you get the page with several people providing snippets and debating the best approach. The LLM does not give you this. Furthermore if the author goes back and fixes an error in their code the search will find it whereas the LLM will give you the buggy code with no way to reasonably update it

LLM have major issues and even bigger limitations. Pretending they are some panacea is going to disappoint.

People are struggling to buy groceries.

CEO: Let’s raise the price of a good people don’t need because money.

I can only hope this move backfires spectacularly.

I think it is important to keep in mind how much energy moving 87 million pounds of salt a day would take. Unless this valley was extremely close it would be prohibitive.

I do think you have a decent idea though if we had to use desalination and didn’t want to dump it right back into the ocean.

Approx 35 grams of salt per litte. 35 g x 5000 litres per day is about 385 pounds of salt everyday. This is the problem with desalination no one discusses.

On the low end people use around 300 litres a day. So this is only enough water for 16 people. When you start scaling this it really becomes clear.

Let’s say you wanted to provide LA with water from desalination. At around 23 pounds of salt from 300 liters of water per person with LA population being 3.8 million that would make 87 million pounds of salt… wait for it… per day!

Sure you can put it back into the ocean, but that is not good for sea life at all. Not to mention all the energy needed to pump it back if that is what you choose to do. I don’t think sequestering is an option either.

Her and her girl gonna be pissed when they don’t have no gaming. No cap, that what girls like.

Plot twist: His smart fridge is running an AI girlfriend he has fallen in love with

Nu-uh magic Musk is going to fix all our problems.

United Healthcare got caught forging DNRs. So they will definitely lift a finger, to kill you!

Fair enough, I can see your concern.

There is a mountain of evidence and everything she says is common knowledge at this point to anyone who has spent even a few minutes looking it up. You can just use you favorite search engine to see for yourself.

You really just come off sounding aloof and uninformed. What evidence!? When you are swimming in a sea surrounded by it.

Does your app have an app for its app?

Unfortunately, it is too late. They don’t need your specific genetic code to extrapolate about you, just the code of one of your relatives who wanted to find out their heritage for fun.

Without serious privacy laws we will be used and abused by corporations, get ready to experience Gattaca in real life.

Time to antitrust Apple and break them up. They grew too large for their own britches.

What makes love truly special has little to do with duration. Sometimes we need to set something free and remember the love we had and the joy it brang. We can always remember those good times, they can’t take that away. It is time to let Nintendo go now.

It is all very logical, unfortunately they don’t write laws for the people in our current system. I am afraid it would take a lot of resistance to change things and most people have been lulled into a learned helplessness state.
