The cost of simply retrieving an answer from the Web is infinitely smaller than the cost of generating a new one.

Great interview with Sasha Luccioni from Huggingface on all the ways that using generative AI for everything is both a) hugely costly compared to existing methods, and b) insane.

    Nope it isn’t. You blame AI companies for pollution they didn’t generate. Blame the energy sector.

    Why the hell aren’t we using mix of nuclear and renewables in this day and age is beyond me

          yeah, they don’t teach much about fascist atrocities in ethiopia, and then people feel compelled to defend the good name of the boys in the black shirts because the poor dupes didn’t build the concentration camps – just were allied to the builders.

          good gods you’re going to be the most insufferable kind of person, aren’t you

          You aren’t going to convince me of anything

          this was a bit of a given

          bet you also think the climate cost of cryptocurrency is also a failing of the energy sector to deliver clean power to the innocent sweet little industrial-scale mining tycoons, don’t you

            see, because they can’t provide their own, talking about good arguments is all they have left

              I one-up your well-sourced article with a “nope it isn’t”, your move.

            What, you want to tell me I’m somehow obligated to exactly know where and how every service I use is produced?

            Talk about a horrible take.

              it’s not “hating your post history”, it’s just realisation that you’re a shitty debatelord and talking to you is waste of time.

                it has been [0] days since I got accused of having emotions about a driveby poster

                how rude

                And yet you’re talking to me… To prove some point perhaps? Feel free to ignore or block me if you don’t like my posts.

      Since we aren’t using those it is in fact a climate disaster currently and they know that.

      Assuming you want to ground your argument in our reality.
