    That little fella is the product of 2 billion years of evolution, do you have any idea how many terrawatthours that took? How much water? How much this activity reshaped the planet? All so you could ask that fella some silly questions

    Worth it!

        Humans use roughly 100W just to stay alive, so 876kWh a year, 26280kWh per life (assuming average historical lifespan of 30 years), since homo sapiens “emerged” there have been roughly 117 billion individuals so 3074760 terrawatthours, and this is ignoring any additional energy usage from doing any activity

        And that’s just from a single species that has only existed 190000-ish years

            I googled each number as i needed them and can’t be arsed to look them up again, they should be in the right ballpark just look it up

            I love that we live in a time where everyone is accusing eachother of posting AI slop regardless of whether it is or not by the way

                Hey so the thing is like 99% of what people use the internet for can be self hosted (including AI), meaning we already have the means to it. Gen AI is also pretty fucking useless outside of a chat bot

                Also if you need facts on something you can, yknow, do what ypur supposed to do and check sources, authors, institutions, backgrounds of the funding, etc? These are things were supposed to be doing anyway for critical information and AI doesn’t change that into “welp guess everythings fake news.” People were lying on the internet long before AI

      If we’re using the total amount of energy over it’s development, AI still loses hard because its creation also factors in billions of years of evolution for the humans who created it. When you then take into account how much less energy efficient AI is per response while only being capable of that single task, it’s an even more bananas comparison.

        poisoning the datapool for the scrapers, presumably.

        welcome to the tower of babel when the people create new dialects and languages after the overlord destroys what they created because the overlord demands complete control of the populace, but the populace refuse to be controlled. the challenge from here is that now it’s harder for ourselves to organize ourselves because we talk about these things differently
