First-of-its-kind US bill would address the environmental costs of the technology, but there’s a long way to go.

one assessment suggests that ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI in San Francisco, California, is already consuming the energy of 33,000 homes. It’s estimated that a search driven by generative AI uses four to five times the energy of a conventional web search. Within years, large AI systems are likely to need as much energy as entire nations.

          Hey now. Rule one of this community is “Be civil - Attack the argument, not the person.” What does any of this genocide stuff have to do with the argument being discussed here?

            The discussion here? Nothing. The person trying to have a discussion with me? Everything. Because yesterday, he said that I support genocide both due to the fact that I will do anything to keep Trump out of office to save my queer daughter’s life and due the the fact that I exist. And now he wants to chat with me as if he never said that.

            No one did anything about it in this community when he said those things. And, believe it or not, the topic of discussion was not genocide.

            Why should I let someone who was that hateful towards me act like nothing was ever said a day later?

              I’m with you on this 100% and not just because my own queer daughter’s life is on the line.

              If we are gonna play the ‘be civil’ card, play it on everyone. Certainly don’t overlook people accusing others of genocide. You’d think that didn’t need to be said but shrug

              Because it’s against the sub’s rules to attack him personally.

              Why not block him? You’ll never see him again.

                He attacked me personally repeatedly and nothing was done. Why is he being held to a different standard?

                    Again- you said I supported genocide no matter who I voted for or whether I voted or not.

                    I specifically asked you who I should vote for or if I should even vote at all to not support genocide. You specifically told me that it didn’t matter who I voted for or if I didn’t vote.

                    You also don’t give a shit about queer people since you don’t think anything should be done to stop the coming queer genocide that will end up making my own daughter marched into a camp. Queer people can be killed off and you won’t give a shit.

                  I’m not holding him to a different standard. I wasn’t in whatever fight you and he might have had, I don’t know what community it happened in.

                    You seem to be holding both him and yourself to a different standard since you just made a personal attack.

                    And it happened in this community. You could have asked which community.
