It's not enough to pollute the Internet, it's time to pollute the world with radioactive waste.
That's brilliant!
yes, let's use nuclear energy to generate half assed AI assistants, images and videos instead of making clean energy cheaper
Nuclear energy is clean, but I agree this energy should be used for a useful purpose, which would bring down costs.
that is the point? when big tech monopolizes sources of clean energy, it becomes more expensive (or can not become cheaper at best) because there is less availability
Every Google search should include an AI answer! Who cares about energy usage, we'll just buy a nuclear power plant!
What is the motive behind this push to ram AI down out throats?
They already have all my emails, photographs. location and browsing data.
What do they gain from providing unreliable information at many times the power use? Or having me ask "write a sincere-sounding thank-you email".
I feel like I'm missing some big revelation that will make it make sense.
I say this as someone that works in AI.
It's all a smoke-screen. It shows that Google (and every other big tech company) is producing super secret, super high tech stuff that should make their shareholders super happy. The reality is that Google and co haven't produced shit for years, have laid off hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, and don't have long term plans to improve outside of enshittifcation.
100%
14 years of gaping monetary policy conditioned Corps to making profits from nearly free debt.
Now they have to actually USE their businesses' capabilities and it turns out they suck at being businesses. MIT calls it a "capability trap."
They're just con men still hoping people will dance to their tune after the music has stopped.
Money.
AI will improve and this will be a multi trillion dollar market. Big tech is in a race to be the biggest.
We don't need it and should be focussing on important things but yay capitalism right?
Yeah but big tech is also the customer. So it doesnt make sense. How will they make money if the only way to do so is to trick other giant tech companies into buying and using your product?
break up big tech. regulate monopolies before we get the second great depression.
