Again, I’m pretty sure they’re aware that you need bigger radiators when you’re using more energy. This is space engineering 101.

I’m pretty sure they’re aware of the need for radiators. They’ve probably designed satellites before.

No, it started when a scriptwriter came up with an idea for a movie that would sell a lot of tickets.

> People complain about the environmental footprint of data centers.

> Companies attempt to move the data centers outside the environment.

> People complain even harder.

What do you want?

It’s religion, the rules are made up. So if a flip book is considered good enough then it’s good enough.

I’ve noticed that Firefox just recently added “search this image using Google Lens” to the right-click menu. Google Lens then OCRs it, and lets me copy and paste the text. So here it is as text, courtesy of AI:

But here’s the twist: they weren’t anti-technology in general - they were against the way it was being used to exploit labor and devalue craftsmanship. In modern slang, though, Luddite has come to mean anyone who resists new technology or feels uneasy about its social effects - the person who grumbles about smartphones, Al, or self-checkout kiosks. In truth, the Luddites were early critics of technological displacement - a theme still echoing today every time a robot takes a job or an algorithm replac an artist.

Ah, the Luddites - a wonderfully rebellious bunch from the early 19th century! They were groups of English textile workers who, around 1811-1816, rose up against the industrial machines that were threatening their livelihoods. Imagine skilled artisans who had spent years mastering hand-weaving, suddenly finding themselves replaced by noisy, automated looms run by factory owners who could churn out cloth faster and cheaper.

Hey, remember that “Jade Helm” thing that the Republicans went completely apeshit over back when Obama was president?

Hm.

There’s also prayer wheels going back to the 4th century.

I don’t see anything in here to support saying ChatGPT is exacerbating anything.

A pervert problem, or a pervert opportunity?

As far as I’m aware there’s no “wartime” exemption from the term limit.

This is the state of American Democratic politics these days. If the candidate is not exactly what you want, then they’re Satan incarnate and they might as well let the Republicans win.

So if 2028 rolls around and you’re presented with a ballot with the choices “Donald Trump” and “Kamala Harris” on it for president, you’ll not vote for Kamala Harris?

The memo is about whether to release figures about secondary water usage, ie, what water is being used in the generation of electricity for their data centers. A process that I expect isn’t even really under their control in most cases, electricity is bought from the grid. The memo is from 2022, before ChatGPT was even released to the public, so the second paragraph about how Amazon is planning to increase its AI capacity is completely unrelated to this.

Dislike Amazon if you wish, but let’s not misrepresent the news in the process. There are enough real reasons to dislike them without doing that.

So it’s about on par with humans, then.

The “just give us money” part of the artist’s wish is usually left unspoken.

Personally, I’m a supporter of UBI. It’s not reasonable to expect the companies to do something like this, this is the role and responsibility of government.

Pornography.

Yup. We’re in a situation where everyone is thinking “if we don’t, then they will.” Bans are counterproductive. Instead we should be throwing our effort into “if we’re going to do it then we need to do it right.”

Isn’t this what all those artists were insisting they wanted? AI replacing rote labor instead of their “creative” jobs like producing advertising and concept art?
