I also love how no one even has a good view defeating the purpose

try Claude Code if you like! it's quite helpful for code

Using ChatGPT is not bad for the environment And a plea to think seriously about climate change without getting distracted

Respectfully, this is a bit of a misconception :) llms are really no worse than netflix even after factoring in the cost of training

Using ChatGPT is not bad for the environment And a plea to think seriously about climate change without getting distracted

Respectfully, it's a bit of a misconception that LLMs are any worse than, say, netflix. That's okay; there are plenty of other valid criticisms of them.

This is a bit of a misconception :) but there are plenty of other valid criticisms of how LLMs are being used.

Andy Masley who wrote this article, and that cheat sheet, claims to have amortized the cost of training into his calculations

can you elaborate on how it's being used to harm people? genuinely curious

Seems to line up with the one I posted yeah. They found 3300 joules ≈ 1 Wh for Llama 405B, while the first one calculated 3Wh for ChatGPT.

The environmental cost is a bit of a misconception - it's really no worse than streaming netflix or anything else.

the vast majority of information from most sources is discarded, just by nature of the size of the LLM vs. its training data. I agree that in an ideal world it shouldn't be able to exactly reproduce anything

it's very much open to interpretation whether distilling and transforming a huge amount of information into a different form is in fact stealing. collage is fair use, after all

I find it quite useful for coding

I see them as power tools, which you need to know how to use, and won't accomplish anything (or make things worse) if you don't. In the right hands, an LLM is definitely a productivity boost - write this function, etc.

Had a dream I booked a housecleaner through an app called Baboon

The one time I went skiing, the nice trail lady had to give me a ride down the mountain on the back of her snowmobile because I was taking too long and the slope was closing

Sound bars are not great speakers. Just get an external amp and a couple real speakers - they didn't have to be huge. The Topping brand makes great, compact amps - you don't need a huge receiver box like the old days.

Someone tried to reply with another article, then blocked me. So this is my reply to them.

(Reading menu) Are you willing to stand by your remarks?

It says right there in the link you posted, "a single Google search takes 0.3 watt-hours of electricity, while a ChatGPT request takes 2.9 watt-hours."

I'm not sure why you think you know more about this than me, who actually uses it, since you were just saying you weren't even aware of any good uses of it.

AI is poised to drive 160% increase in data center power demand

Not really. A typical LLM query uses about 10 Google searches worth of energy. That's worth hours (not 15 minutes) of productivity.

You realize you need the expertise to actually tell the LLM what to do. You don't just set it going like a wind up toy.

You might as well tell a carpenter that power tools do their job.

Huh? I do write code for a living, it's been my career for 10 years. I use LLM tools to speed up the process of writing some code snippets. They would be useless without my expertise of how to use them.

Well, because I write code for a living, I can easily tell the difference between good and bad code, and know to correct it when it's on the wrong track.

For one, as a coder, it's a massive productivity aid for me. Will create bits of code and scripts instantly.

I caught a block from the OP for this, no idea why

I've used OS X and Windows 11 plenty, just not on 5K. It's just my opinion based on my experience.

I haven't - I'm sure they look great. But Plasma also looks great and most importantly, is infinitely customizable
