I believe there will be people who let LLMs only do untrusted jobs. Human writes a specification, AI writes an implementation along with a proof that it adheres to the spec.

I think a better example is that programmers use AI to autocomplete text. They could write the exact same text by hand or use a dumber autocomplete but there is no reason to. The product is exactly the same just delivered with slightly less wear on the programmer's fingers.

The amount of meat people want to eat necessitates factory farming and that is a great breeding ground for animal-borne disease. Meat also concentrates heavy metals in the animal's diet. The quantity of meat consumption is making us sick.

Depends on the rate. Mortgages can be extremely cheap and some can't be paid off quickly anyway.

It depends on what you are practicing. If it involves things out of your control, for instance poker, you definitely shouldn't adjust after every result. In the poker case that leads to not playing well just because you lost one time.

Even in less random things you have to be absolutely sure you found the problem before adjusting.

Oof. Mechanicus starts out ok, even has some cool mechanics but then gets utterly trivial and just keeps going like that.

Are you playing modded Xcom? I enjoyed a run with amalgamation classes, gem-based psi and lots of mods to make the enemies harder but it has been shelved for a while because the Humanity's requiem Mutons are too much to take on and I need to think about how much to sacrifice to pass missions until my weapon upgrade finishes.

The writing is seriously good. I enjoy just reading random furniture descriptions.

The only reason I haven't beaten it yet is that it feels repetitive since the main story and certain profitable side quests are always the same.

While some RNG like the faction relationships add great and flavorful variety, others like the medicine recipes are technically different every time but it doesn't matter.

Der KI ist nicht giftig.

Stromverbrauch ist auch kein Thema obwohl man auf Lemmy anders meint. Die neuen modelle herstellen verbraucht 1 GW, kann man aber nichts gegen machen, die Singularitätsreligion ist zu stark. Modelle benutzen ist billig.

Maybe it is different elsewhere but according to my calculations, renting property is not very profitable. Investing in stocks is better if you only want to make money and do not care about the apartment otherwise.

You can't easily get your money out of the property and if loan rates go up, you pay more and the property value goes down.

The real parasite is the bank who takes a cut but has little risk as the money it lends out is created from thin air.

My guess would be that using a desktop computer to make the queries and read the results consumes more power than the LLM, at least in the case of quickly answering models.

The expensive part is training a model but usage is most likely not sold at a loss, so it can't use an unreasonable amount of energy.

Instead of this ridiculous energy argument, we should focus on the fact that AI (and other products that money is thrown at) aren't actually that useful but companies control the narrative. AI is particularly successful here with every CEO wanting in on it and people afraid it is so good it will end the world.

It is easy to come up with nonsense. I much more respect works that explore the consequences of one fantastical thing.

These at least show up when logged in but are there ones that you can't see at all without VPN?
