both scenarios use the same amount of resources but one uses them for longer. that’s not “more taxing”.

well that’s not what’s going on. there’s a reason i explained it the way i did.

in the same way that playing minecraft for two hours is “more taxing” than playing for one, sure

yeah but automating jobs with a high risk of injury and guaranteed fatigue damage is one thing. nobody was ever a dockworker as a hobby.

it’s the same thing, image generation just takes longer. per output.

i do though. i order packages and the dockworkers take them off of the ship and load them onto local transport. i take a ferry and the dockworkers make sure the ship is securely tied off before i dinembark.

nope, that’s pretty obvious. it’s easier to visualise with local models that make the apartment heat up a few degrees.

that sets fire to a tree for every sentence, yes.

i was more thinking about art or writing, but if you’re doing repetitive menial coding work then there have been tools to replace that for like 50 years.

huh?

people who don’t care to do those things are using ai for them, leaving the people who do care, and usually spent a large part of their life learning how to do those things well, with nothing to do.

incidentally, learning how to do something properly makes it easier to see how bad ai is at that thing.

then at least some more people will stop using them.

i’m with donny boy here. instead of limiting what people can do, push regulation that forbid corporations from building the kind of software that is bad for your mental health. ban infinite scrolling features, algorithmic feeds, and dark patterns. make the fines equal or higher than gdpr because now it’s about people’s actual health.

…that’s what they want instead, right?

subjectivity is implied, yes.

40ish million sold, so… 85¢ sound good?

aw man…

softbank bought ABB Robotics last year. one of the few big swedish tech companies that hadn’t been fully diluted over the years (sure they were part of ABB but they were doing their own thing) get sold to a company that wanted to “bridge the gap between ai and real life”. if the robotics division goes down with them i’ll be mad.

ah i see now. had to look at your replies to other people to get the context :)

no, but making the bed may be one of those mundane things that bring you into a routine!

weekly reminder that “fan” is short for “fanatic”

i was speaking more in relation to other people. also i don’t know anyone for whom filling and emptying glasses of water is normal.
