I remember when scientists were more focused on making AI models smaller and more efficient, and research on generative models was focused on making GANs as robust as possible with very little compute and data.

Now that big companies and rich investors saw the potential for profit in AI the paradigm has shifted to "throw more compute at the wall until something sticks", so it's not surprising it's affecting carbon emissions.

Besides that it's also annoying that most of the time they keep their AIs behind closed doors, and even in the few cases where the weights are released publicly these models are so big that they aren't usable for the vast majority of people, as sometimes even Kaggle can't handle them.

Kinda ironic I saw this post right after this other one lol: Three Democrats Re-Introduce Bill That Would Bring Ranked Choice Voting to Congressional Elections Across America

9/11

Looked up her name on Twitter to see what people were saying about this, that was a mistake 🙄

A lot of people seem to hate her for whatever reason, she was far from perfect, but all things considered I think she did fine as CEO and I never got the hate. It can't be easy to manage a company as big and complex as YouTube.

I've seen some people on Twitter complain that their coworkers use ChatGPT to write emails or summarize text. To me this just echoes the complaints made by previous generations against phones and calculators. There's a lot of vitriol directed at anyone who isn't staunchly anti AI and dares to use a convenient tool that's avaliable to them.

The Haruspex is at it again!

One of the community notes on the post said it was posted the day before by another account, and an AI image detector flagged it as AI with 90% confidence.

Musk using an AI image to fantasize about being some badass cowboy is both pathetic and absolutely expected lol

"My science-based, 100% dragon MMO is already under development."

I did something like this when working support at Phillips

I thought it was funny but my colleagues and supervisor were not entertained lol

Yeah while I don't doubt that noise pollution can affect one's health I have to wonder how much of this is just the placebo effect, like with people complaining that cellphone towers are giving them migranes or rashes.

Oh SatansMaggotyCumFart, your comments never disappoint.

lmao no wonder something looked so off to me, the HD verision is even more clearly AI-generated, even more so considering the website it came from.

Interestingly enough even the larger image on the original website fooled most of the AI image detectors, with only one of them (isitai.com) just barely saying that the image is probably AI-generated, while all the others said with >90% confidence that it wasn't.
