That’s cool, but wtf is it a conversation on Lemmy for

If you run your own AI and watch how long it takes, how much it runs up the resources for a few seconds, then you might get an idea of what it’s like hosting at least three copies of a multi-terabyte LLM, in memory, with much shorter response and a much bigger knowledge base (Gemini by Google), taking millions of prompts per minute. Then think of every company that’s hosting major public AI services.

Then remember that the only things good that come out of AI are natural language inference for voice commands and slightly improved developer processes.

Hosting it is just a reminder of the rapid environmental, ecological and cultural destruction that is the AI bubble.

In summary: Perhaps, if the hoster wants it for streamlining their dev process. Otherwise it can be replaced with a far more efficient standard algorithmic program, which is what we had before.

Based.

Good point, with a caveat. The vast majority of aforementioned demand on China is terrible quality. That doesn’t mean that the only reason Chinese trash manufacture exists is because of foreign contracts. In fact, I believe very few of them were actually ‘asked to make trash’ by way of making it as cheaply as possible.

I am willing to stake that nobody, not even American businessmen, paid those manufacturers to create ten thousand seller pages on Amazon and the like with randomly generated six character names.

And things tailored for Europe that are produced in any other country are miles better than the slave colonies of Guangdong Province. Things made in: England, Scotland, France, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Finland, Norway, Germany, USA, Canada, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Nepal, even Malaysia and Singapore.

PFF I didnt know the US exported anything good. I never mentioned the US.

EU, on the other hand… There are more than two countries in the world

I find that, just as some people don’t think trans men exist, some people don’t think woman can be rapists or paedophiles.

Original caption is “Country girls make do” and I swear that corn used to drip

Edit:

ICE demanded Google give everything they had on a pro Palestine, Black, student, journalist, non-American who used to live in the USA, and Google did so without notifying said individual, which seems to be the kicker here.

His name is Amandla Thomas-Johnson, and here is a story from last year explaining that he’s in the crosshairs of ICE because he attended a protest on campus in the USA.

It seems to be a 2016 CBBC reference involving a puppet called Hacker

Oatly Barista is the best I’ve had fs. You can’t buy the cheapest available product with the largest percentage of substitute ingredient and expect it to accurately represent the entire range of possibilities.

Not if you look outside China for your products. West Taiwan does export some quality but they’re unicorns

Word of mouth does some heavy lifting here I reckon

Hell, I wish more games just had humanity. It might be due to me being antiwar, but when playing MMOs (whose MO is pretty much always ‘kill each other’ PVP) I wish folk were not so quick to kill, especially not when the kill isn’t imperative. Face it, some of the best ever moments in gaming are when folk have the option to kill each other and dont. A shred of humanism.

Universal signs in COD existed to plead for mercy, such as switching to a knife and looking away. In Black Ops II there’s a rave room in a map and several players spent a minute bobbing their characters around until someone else came and mowed the other team down. One time in Battlefield I spent the majority of a game (no mic mind you) chilling on a roof with half a dozen players from two teams. I came to multiplayer FPS games for the combat, stayed for the randoms I met.

So the US is acting like a leatherjacket beating on Iran, of the school’s punching bag family ‘Middle East’, telling an intervening Samaritan Pope to “stay out of it”

Kudos, that’s not an easy template to make lyrics for

Yeah nah, doing that in a residential zone is a bit weird - should stick to split pavements, not split roads

I knew it was possible

Lee Biggins, chief executive at CV-Library, says its research is a “wake-up call” to recruiters that they must use AI to support human intuition, not replace it. “We’re seeing the start of a vicious cycle.”

So after several years, he is only just feeling negative repercussions to widespread adoption of human replacement AI? That tells that Biggins either hasn’t once witnessed AI media generation like Midjourney, Suno or Sora doing an artist’s job poorly, or a search AI like Gemini with rapidly decreasing reasoning power, forgetting recent points and inventing results, or AI chat assistants replacing every shitty static support line’s “Input not recognised” with “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand that,” while running processing units in data centres around the world so hot it’s rapidly raising the global average temperature faster than all the existing conglomerate data centres ever did; or he thinks those were absolutely fine and he only draws the line at damaged employment practices.
