for what?

…just load them when you go to bed and unload when you wake up?

yes. it’s not more resource intensive, it’s just doing more iterations.

and from my measurements, spending 15-30 seconds on max power draw is not a lot compared to gaming for an hour. datacenters use less power per iteration than my gpu, but they run all the time.

unless i’m mistaken germany’s civil law is not steered by precedent. so while the ruling is good it does not automatically mean what the headline says. any germans please correct me on this.

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.

guix yeah, since they picked a pre-existing one. nix the language is arguably an overgrown dsl which explaits why it’s… real weird.

everything in the movie is there for a reason, especially when it isn’t.

i prefer referring to greenspun’s tenth
