Where is all that non-grid fuel being used? I assume people aren’t using coal to fuel their vehicles.

Then why did Biden win the next one?

We need a system of community where humans can offer that to one another. A setting where safety is a priority. That is one of the only things that weekly church service did to truly help people, have a safe space they could visit. Though even then it was only safe for people who fit in, we can do better with intentional design.

I used to do that with HTML, make a fake little website and open it.

Yes cultivating patience is a great skill, but I have no interest in spending more time in line than I have to.

It’s not that bad, it’s just more bad than self check.

Personally I hate waiting in line, I can feel the life leaving my body. I self check for speed.

Apparently line impatience is an ADHD thing, but regardless of where it comes from I appreciate being able to do it myself instead of waiting.

But then it would be harder to tell it was the same person.

Yes, red meat is mammal meat. People sometimes call pork white meat because of the color, but it’s classified as red meat in regards to health and diet.

Because they like cows?

Surely poor health will help them become a productive little worker drone.

And a little compartment for dry ice to slowly sublimate into the ventilation system

Oh, that makes sense.

Technically they can extract more now, it’s just a really really small amount.

Your son is a badass.

In all seriousness fuck charging for cures, especially for cancer. Life is about more than getting paid. I just lost someone yesterday to cancer so I’m sure this is an outsized response, but seriously, cancer fucking sucks.

No, though I’m not really sure how it makes a difference. If I used a different model that was made using less resources what would be improved? Both already exist, using one over the other would not save any energy.

Edit: To go back to the BG3 comparison, I don’t know how many resources were used to make the game, or what sources the developers pulled from. I play it because it’s fun and another person enjoying it doesn’t cost the world anything (except a little electricity)

Yes, I agree, but I think it does matter where we go from here. We could say all vehicles are bad, or we could focus on the source of the problem. Corporate AI is what’s using all the electricity and water, it’s what’s creating the worst issues.

Most open source models don’t need additional training, they’re already plenty good for most plain language tasks and the weights are all free to use. Why would I waste power doing my own training when the public options are perfectly adequate?

What percentage of trips are done on a bicycle?

I’m working on software to help more people do it, but I fear that anti-ai sentiment has lost focus on the problem. Local models are super useful for assistance with code, writing, and all sorts of general tasks. I’ve been working on a tool that allows you to tell the computer what you want and it generates a command line prompt with an explanation of how it works.
