oh and btw, FUCK YOU for equating AI SLOP to FOSS software. That’s a shit take of mammoth proportions and you should shove it up your ass sideways, it’s absolute garbage.

well put

we shouldn’t fuck up the country more for AI.

or environment, or water supply, or power supply, or children’s privacy, or people’s brains, or economy…

I still have yet to see anything from these fucks that justifies the cost in computer hardware either.

safer than track cleats by a mile

haha, yes indeed; that’s the thing about these people - they’re never gonna be embraced by the right. hell, Kaitlin Jenner is still trying to convince them she’s a good trans person, and all the other ones are the icky types. jfc…

pickme’s

Yeah, we should stop mislabeling LLMs as AI. I have yet to see anything, ANY THING, that would justify the artist crushing, soul sucking, component costs-skyrocketing, child undressing, suicide prompting, power guzzling, water draining and manifold other garbage that is intrinsic on this ‘age of AI’.

It’s snake oil, shitware and techbros burning the fucking planet and destroying entire industries because they’re so fucking sure their roided up elizabots are gonna change humanity - and can’t comprehend, it certainly is changing humanity, FOR THE WORSE.

yeah, we only created the garbage, how could we ever turn the garbage off?

I mean, with shit takes like that, geeze, guess we’re really fucked

shopping is hell, and then…

I don’t think it’s a matter of finding new oil, it’s a matter of finding some way to convince the world at large not to fuckin burn it.

no amount of prep will save the species. we’re driving the bus right over the cliff and our foot is still pushing the gas.

fascinating

wait until the cult of vroom - the pavement princesses and motorheads whos trucks, race cars and hogs consume ridiculous amounts - have to put their toys away because their man trump, who hates them, but hates wind and decency more, decided he could figure out MIDEAST PEACE BY WAY OF BOMBS because he’s so fuckin clever.

fuck 'em, but unfortunately the hits to fertilizer and the poor will hurt a lot more than their bullshit.

funny enough, this hand-grenade to the world petroleum foundation may be the thing society needs to realize IT’S FUCKING TIME TO FIGURE OUT GRID SCALE 100% WIND, SOLAR AND BATTERIES on a scale that even China didn’t anticipate.

I always think about Peter Cushing…

yup. the killer here comes when the low temp doesn’t go below 100f - heat simply builds higher and higher and there’s no respite; this causes hvac systems to begin to struggle and power systems to collapse as infrastructure like transformers blow (expensive and slow to replace, with low production rates to boot) or transmission lines to sag under the heat x the transmission loads, often causing wildfires.

have been to places like death valley and central texas near Killeen - once it was 110+ for an entire week, highs reaching 117f! and at night it wouldn’t get below 100.

It’s like breathing burning air, it’s exhausting and on top of all of this, people aren’t made to work in these kinds of conditions and as temps rise, will asphyxiate as their lungs struggle to pull oxygen out of humid hot air while their core temps climb, unable to dump the heat through respiration or perspiration.

I’m sure economies like the Middle East and Palm Springs already have this sort of thing worked out.

uhh…

why don’t imgur pics load without clicking? on web… just thought the thing about imgur was to embed images

Mmm… better that all AI fail.

I’m saying they’re demanding higher tips

no, I’ll take what you wrote as what you meant, dumbfuck
