Fwiw a LLM uses as much power as 10 regular Google searches… So it’s almost nothing in the grand scope of things. It might even save some for the people who don’t know how to utilize search engines properly.
We also need more data centers, not fewer. And they use almost no water compared to other utilities.
E: I’ve cleaned up the comment for saucing ease in case you looked at it right away but I’ll quote it here for ease.
Yep, I’m familiar with it. More from previous comments since these disingenuous memes get pedaled here regularly. People love to spout stats about AI in data centers that aren’t just used for AI without having any sense of how much CO2 is produced from really really common stuff lol. Let alone it being contingent on being run in non-renewable powered areas yet 40% of the USA’s grid is clean.
How about watching TikTok? 30 minutes of video daily = 28kg of carbon a year. Calculators here: 1, 2, 3.
How about the recent ‘Oh no 1/5 a city’s water!’ The city use 770,000 gallons a day… So it uses 154,000 gallons of water for an entire piece of critical infrastructure that keeps the internet running. For the entire data center lol. And that’s for the city Carrol, Iowa with a whopping population of 10,000 people in 5 square miles lol.
A real common citation is how much carbon it takes to initially train these too. 500 tons of carbon dioxide… That’s the only 33/334,000,000 Americans worth of CO2 for the year lol.
Spoken like a Lemming who hasn’t worked out seriously or had a serious physical job in their life.
Humans didn’t spend the entirety of their existence looking for shit better than water for no reason lol. Hydrohomies and an iced glass of water is great… But…
You know what’s better than water when you need water? Nearly everything that isn’t alcohol or literal piss.
Yes, this includes milk and soda. Anything with sugar, protein, or fat is great.
And yes, spiking our drinks with low amounts of drugs is also nice.
but if you’re already dehydrated it can make the situation worse.
No, it won’t. That’s the point of the misconception. You even get to it later then dismiss. We aren’t taking about overall health. We aren’t talking about the 'betes.
None of those things will dehydrate you more despite people saying differently. Not soda, not milk, even beer under 2% beer will be better. You will be rehydrated, there WILL be a net gain of water in your body. There is no net loss of water no matter how much people say sugar or caffeine will lower the net gain.
If you’re dehydrated, you’re lacking salt. There’s a reason why physically demanding companies provide free drink packets to their crews. They don’t want road crews dying by the side of the road because they slammed water and had no salt on a 100 degree day working next to a machine shooting out molten tar and rock. We aren’t pumping people’s blood full of sterile water. Saline bags are .9% salt for a reason.
They call that Lordosis and I’ve only ever seen it happen when I showed one of the females my dual sli GTX 1080ti setup while benchmarking in Heaven. Getting her off my desk with her ass in the air is a pain but she apparently likes my hand going down her back and her ass patted. Getting her off my keyboard when I’m in the middle of a game can be a real pain sometimes…
I’m sorry sir we are talking about the US needing to aid all countries all the time with no military here. Not about some random African nation they should’ve helped the years ago already.
Not help like they helped the middle east though. Or not not helped like they did with the middle east.
Either way, we blame America regardless of whether they had anything remotely to do with it.
No, you’re just literally parroting russian fascist republican propaganda equating the two no matter how much you badmouth Trump. Everyone shits on Trump already, it’s not special, nobody cares anymore lol.
Saying insane patently false shit like you have about Biden though makes you a useful idiot which is even worse than an idiot. I know I’m fucking stupid, I’m talking to you on Lemmy right now proving your point.
The difference being that you’re actively making the world worse whether knowingly or unknowingly.
Yeah and of the entire subgroup they pick furry talk to be drunk? Near every one of those cat fuckers are alcoholics. At minimum triple this. To really get that meow meow talk you’d need to convince one of those teetotaler tiny girls to drink but you know she won’t. Instead you’re trying to get an alcoholic 190lb man named Blaze drunk enough to start that kitty babble? Try six lol.
It’s hilarious that this thread accuses them of supporting pride to make money was bad but supporting bigotry for money is also bad.
It’s such a perfect microcosm of capitalism and popularity. How gatekeeping good deeds and representation through virtue signaling can turn people away and keep your movement from being funded by billion dollar organizations.
When furries fooled the world into thinking wanting to bang shit with ears tails and personalities like animals was okay because… They aren’t completely a cat so it’s fine okay. Just ears, tails, some personality is fine. Neko!
Okay a little fur is fine too sometimes… Oh and some claws maybe. Okay we may as well loop in animal horny too.
Nobody should care what gets someone off of even what they like as long as nobody is hurting anyone.
Furry away my dude. I just think the denialists are funny when they shit like best girl Holo despite her literally turning into a giant dog, having tail, claws, teeth, eyes, ears, personality…
Of the 60,000 bees in a hive, almost 99% of them are female! Female honey bees, or worker bees, make all of the decisions in the hive and do all of the work. There are a couple hundred male bees in a hive, but they don’t do much but sit around and eat food.
Ukraine should be allowed to strike military bases on Russian territory from which Moscow carries out missile attacks against Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron said on May 28, Le Monde reported....
‘Dear Lord Baby Jesus, or as our brothers in the South call you: ‘Hey-suz’. We thank you so much for this bountiful harvest of Dominos, KFC, and the always delicious Taco Bell. I just want to take time to say thank you for my family: my two beautiful, beautiful, handsome striking sons, Walker and Texas Ranger, or TR as we call him. And, of course, my red hot smokin’ wife Carley, who is a stone cold fox, who if you would rate her ass on 100, it would easily be a 94. I also want to thank you for my best friend and teammate, Cal Naughton Jr, who’s got my back no matter what…Dear Lord Baby Jesus, we also thank you for my wife’s father Chip. We hope that you can use your Baby Jesus powers to heal him and his horrible leg. It smells terrible and the dogs are always botherin’ with it. Dear Tiny Infant Jesus…’

Maybe he already is. Maybe he has to balance the power of entire nations against doomers on the internet and finds that it doesn’t weigh very heavy on the scale lol.
2 min - Walking to and starting the washer on hot just to ruin our clothes more despite being told regularly that cold and cool don’t actually mean cold or cool unless it’s a tap cold washer because you saw on a video a long time ago that you need hot water for clothes ignoring that cold and cool are still pretty hot… And that was for houses that had very hard water… Unlike yours… But you can’t let him win you swear the laundry feels different when he does it despite needing tens to hundreds of washes to make a difference when not using fabric softeners or realizing hot water ruins certain fabrics so you’re just used to feeling now ruined fabric… despite him using your same settings then switching it to what he normally does and you saying the same thing…
1 min - Moving washer load to dryer
3 min - Folding clothes
5 min - Folding clothes that don’t need to be folded for young toddlers
3 hours - Using the pile of folded laundry you left somewhere like the living room sofa or coffee table as an excuse to not do more laundry rather than just toss it in their appropriate rooms then saying Ive been doing laundry all day when an entire load takes less than 10 min including folding while your partner is stuck at work also doing the same generally boring menial tasks every day but with only 30 minutes worth of unpaid breaks…
