I didn’t say don’t use AI.

That’s completely besides the point.
Blizzard isn’t asking taxpayers to subsidize them billions “to advance humanity”.
As you say yourself, there are way better models than what is being funded right now, and what is likely to get the monopoly on energy, at our expense.
That’s cool and all, but we’re talking about the AI companies that are trying to get valuated at trillions of dollars and want taxpayers to pay for the upgrades to the grid. The sad part is it’s likely going to work
Usefulness is one thing, but it costs an astronomical amount of energy.
These companies are trying to make taxpayers pay for their infrastructure by pretending it’s to benefit everyone. It won’t benefit everyone that’s for sure.
“oh no, we need all the tax payer money to sustain our super profitable business”.
“Ya ok”.
I like to compare these amounts as time.
1 million seconds is about 11 days. 1 billion seconds is almost 32 years.
Which is also kinda not a thing. It doesn’t know what to do with itself except skins and reboots, can’t call it a genre defining game (anymore).
Overwatch 2 isnt even a second installment. (Laughs in someone who purchased OW1 and unlocked content).
To say it’s a “4 lane overwatch”, overwatch still has to exist
I was just pumping gas the other day, and while I’m at it there’s this cellphone speaker music that starts really loudly, like the phone is at 400% audio.
Motherfucking screen started playing an ad I couldn’t skip. Soon theyre just going to loop audible ads everywhere we go, in public spaces.
Since then I’ve avoided this brand of gas station and affiliates, but I won’t be able to hide for long.
First all companies were afraid of giving access to these models, for trade secret issues and security. But then they basically all met at the white house to agree that they would make way more fucking money stealing it than they would pay in restitution or damages to people and small businesses.
Suddenly everybody had a chatbot and generated art ready for commercial sale. They also had to make the shift quickly enough before official laws and protections (mostly from the EU) came in.
Now AI is plateauing a bit so they must hurry to get valuated at 10 trillion dollars and get their energy needs subsidized and have taxpayers invest into the nation’s energy requirements on their behalf.
So youve donated a bunch and now stopped? Right? Anakin?
