  • Ok, let's look at your own words then:

    I heard a large AI model is equivalent to the emissions from five cars over its lifetime.

    Cool, I hear lots of things. Where's the evidence?

    So, absent of AI, it’s not like we’re up in arms about the waste and usage from other technologies. AI is being singled out—it’s the star of the show right now.

    Who is we? I am not happy about any of it, but especially when it is something not especially useful (you could have used spelling and grammar checkers that have predated AI by many years but you decided to waste water).

    And I don't really care about the potential of an orphan-crushing machine as long as we let it keep crushing orphans.

    I love this last part the best though:

    Sure, it consumes energy and has costs

    We can just forget about these because you didn't want to use standard grammar and spellcheckers and they have the potential to do a bunch of things they can't do. Awesome. Totally worth the end of civilization.

  • Not being able to use your own words to explain something to me and having the thing that is an ecological disaster that also lies all the time explain it to me instead really only reinforces my point that there's no reason to like this technology.

  • Not just sophomoric, as the article points out. Plain old bigoted.

    "It's one thing to mispronounce someone's name on the first try, right? But to do it repeatedly and deliberately, it feels purposeful. It's certainly done to make a point. It is othering, a way of saying you don't belong here," said Jean Sinzdak, the associate director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.

    "I would describe it as a racist and sexist attack on her because she's been the vice president for three and a half years," Sinzdak said. "It's not hard to say her name. It's not complicated."

  • abcnews.go.com Trump mocks Kamala Harris' name but her campaign is putting it front and center

    As Donald Trump pivots his focus to Vice President Kamala Harris, one point of attack toward his new 2024 opponent is an old ploy to mispronounce her name.

    Trump thinks mispronouncing Kamala Harris' name is a good attack route.

  • My instinct always told me that body is a complex machinery and it comes with two unwritten instructions: Do not screw with it, and maintain properly

    So I assume you will never get a stent or a pacemaker or a joint replacement or a pin in a broken bone or even a blood transfusion.

    Come to think of it, even glasses is screwing with your body's normal standard of vision.

    Do you wear clothes? Why are you screwing with your body's temperature regulation abilities?

  • Am I the only one watching the Olympics opening ceremonies? Because WTF am I watching?

    First it starts with a comedy video which turns into this weird creepy thing about kids running through the Paris sewers, encountering an alligator, then getting rowed out and into the Seine by a ghost and it cuts to reality and all the nations are going down the river on boats past a bunch of water jets because they're not doing this in a stadium.

    This looks awful and ridiculous. Compare this to the spectacle of London 2012.

    Now they're doing some weird old Hollywood movie musical style musical number with Lady Gaga and she's on a staircase, which is... somewhere in Paris?

    I am so fucking confused.

    Edit: They just cut to Macron and he looks as confused as I am.
