LLMs are still a facet of AI though. It sounds like they’re saying it shouldn’t be categorized as AI at all.

Or any task change really. You tell me that I’m here for a writing task, then halfway through it becomes a math test? There’s no way I’m doing anywhere near as well as if they told me what was happening ahead of time.

Except for that one time I actually needed a key made. Went to a place with blanks displayed on the wall and they told me they didn’t make them anymore because they didn’t have anyone who knew how to use the machine.

To make the difference you’d have to peddle thousands or hundreds of thousands of individualized discounts

That’s what they do here in Canada.

In my opinion, grilled cheeses really need that bit of acidity to be great grilled cheeses.

Pressure cook a whole rotisserie chicken (bones, meat, and all) for 20ish minutes for amazing chicken stock.

Better yet, eat the meat and pressure cook the bones. You still get great chicken stock, and also get to enjoy some good chicken. If one bird doesn’t give you enough bones, freeze it until you accumulate enough.

Huh. I always thought this was part of my asthma since exercise-induced asthma is a thing and I usually get this after an intense cardio-heavy session.

And also have their AIs read another 100 emails for them.

Yeah, the reason we don’t have those isn’t technological. We could have it today if we collectively decided that we wanted it.

People who start with preconceptions based on labels can still be swayed. It just becomes an uphill battle of figuring out what they think the label means and dispelling those before getting to the meat of the discussion when you can instead just start on the meat.

The debate will probably go somewhere if people took a moment to think about why murder is bad and why choice is important, then consider why that would or wouldn’t apply to this specific scenario.

The issue is in finding buyers who have enough money to spend on those luxury goods.

Ethics/civics would only be useful if you saw this as a possible outcome. Most of us are just looking to solve problems and make everyone’s lives easier.

You know what else takes far less energy than training a single model? One query. Yet, you argue that it’s the main contributor to the energy consumption. Why is that? It’s because there’s a very high volume of them, thus bringing up the total energy consumption. At the end of the day, it’s this total energy consumption that matters, not the cost of doing it once. Look at the total energy expenditure of training, not just the cost of doing it once.

So, it’s kind of weird t0 single AI energy use out here as some form of exceptional evil.

We’re talking about AI here because that’s the topic of this thread. I’ve never seen anyone say that it’s the only problem worth addressing. Plus, if you want to compare energy usage of ads (or anything else) compared to AI, you would first need to know how much energy AI is actually using.

Training is a continuous expenditure. We’re nearly ten years into this craze and we’re still continuously pumping out new models. Whether they’re trained from scratch or not is immaterial. Both processes still consume energy. If you want to justify the claim that training cost is negligible, you would have to show that this cost is actually going down over time and that it’s going down sufficiently quickly.

It doesn’t look like that energy consumption blog post account for the cost of training the model. Otherwise, it should be telling us how many queries/sessions are assumed to be run over the course of the lifetime of a model.

I like to keep to the same routine when possible. Birthdays and holidays interrupt that. No good. I can’t do much for holidays, but since my birthday is supposed to be my day, i can demand this from everyone around me.

So much tech support has moved to Discord. That’s worth keeping around.

With no additional context, if you said that “the balls in this glass are generally blue”, I would interpret that meaning every ball falls within the range of hues that can still be called blue by most people but may be questioned by a few. So 100% of the balls have to be “I can see why someone would call that blue”.
