- Comment on Using GPT-4 to generate 100 words consumes up to 3 bottles of water — AI data centers also raise power and water bills for nearby residents 1 month ago:
water supply is a limited resource, everyone here appears to be focusing on the wrong thing. when a data center uses water in its cooling noops, that water is made inaccessible anywhere else, such as agriculture, natural habitats, drinking. it does not matter (directly) that the water technically is potable or not after use. Very little water ever leaves the earth system, yet drought exists.
- Comment on Realme’s 320W fast charging can fully charge a smartphone in four and a half minutes 3 months ago:
everything impacts the lifespan and thermal load will be a big one, as well as charge rate. those recommendatiuns take a very complex set of variables and simplify it into a balance of memorable and useful.
- Comment on The Dead Rising remaster no longer gives you points for "Erotica" creepshots because it's not "required" or "appropriate" 3 months ago:
removing unnecessary abusive misogyny != puritanism. hilariously different things in fact
- Comment on The Dead Rising remaster no longer gives you points for "Erotica" creepshots because it's not "required" or "appropriate" 3 months ago:
why care that they removed it at all?
- Comment on Netflix is starting to phase out its cheapest ad-free plan 4 months ago:
It’s because netflix’ strategy has been to use the vast amounts of analytics they have to design shows that are so incredibly specialized and focused on targeting unseen metrics that they are entirely devoid of substance.
Even buying into their logic that one could do that, they essentially overfit the data. Find a trend? More trend more betterer more moneyer. Doesn’t work very well.
- Comment on AI products like ChatGPT much hyped but not much used, study says 5 months ago:
“The people are just using the technology wrong. If they used it how I do and for what i do, surely they’d see how good it is for them.”
That’s cope. Plenty of worse solutions to invented problems are adopted much faster and more prolifically.
- Comment on AI products like ChatGPT much hyped but not much used, study says 5 months ago:
This sounds like cope.
Plenty of people have tried, I have tried repeatedly in various distant ways.
Maybe the people aren’t wrong, and chat bots are in fact just not all that useful for most people.
- Comment on AI products like ChatGPT much hyped but not much used, study says 5 months ago:
You’re saying people don’t use chatgpt in their daily routine because they didn’t give it a fair shot?
Not because it’s just objectively lacking in utility for the things it’s marketed for?
- Comment on Author granted copyright over book with AI-generated text—with a twist 7 months ago:
To play devils advocate, talents are things you develop with practice, if you have conditions which prevent you from developing those compared to people without those conditions and which you would like to be able to do, reasonably this is an ada accommodation.
This is a fairly well recognized accommodation to boot.
- Comment on Dragon's Dogma 2 updates will give you new save option and make player dwellings available earlier 7 months ago:
Sealion all you like, you know what’s being discussed and why. Feel free to respond when you’re willing to engage with the conversation.
- Comment on Dragon's Dogma 2 updates will give you new save option and make player dwellings available earlier 7 months ago:
Blatantly the incredible use of microtransactions in dd2 and the increasing frequency that games are monetized in general.
- Comment on Dragon's Dogma 2 updates will give you new save option and make player dwellings available earlier 7 months ago:
“You don’t have to pay for any feature! They just made not doing so arduous and inconvenient exactly as much as they think they can get away with to maximize profits in spite of objectively worse design choices and a worse experience overall!”
The conflict of interest is there, it’s impossible to pretend it doesn’t exist.
