How about let's all not talk or make angry memes about the guy. Ross requested that he not be harassed. Something about not wanting negative energy.

How much energy does AI really use? (zdnet) Seems like queries aren't that expensive, so I guess the enormous energy cost of AI must be mostly from training. I reckon this is why apologists try to minimize it.

I'm skeptical that those 4k developers are using their entire GPU for 8 hours a day. I would be surprised if even 10% of the ~~brain~~ GPU was being used. Though there are CI servers running ontop of that, but typically much fewer than there are developers. I would estimate 5 GWh as a liberal upper bound.

Seems more like "putting things in scale" than "whataboutism." I'm not sure I agree with the premise, but I don't think it's whataboutism at all. Whataboutism would be "it's fine, because something else is worse," whereas I think the commenter is trying to say "it's not much, since it's less than something else that isn't much either."

It's not simply notation, since you can prove the identity from base principles. An alien species would be able to discover this independently.

you... you think you can choose not to be LGBTQ? I can only assume at this point you are trolling me.

This really fits my two hot takes about how we need to fix the left:

  • (1) end purity tests: an imperfect ally is still an ally.
  • (2) we need to appeal to centrists more; Β± straight cis white men feel alienated when we talk about privilege as though it's a bad thing. We could talk about privilege as though it's a great thing that you should be proud of instead. Then we'd have privileged allies, which would be really helpful.

Why would you assume I don't have the context? I have a degree in math. I could be wrong about this, I'm open-minded. By all means, please explain how infinitesimals don't have a consistent algebra.
