Not a fan of disinformation so I'll post this here as well:

I run ComfyUI locally on my own Laptop and generating an image takes 4 seconds, during which my 3070 Laptop GPU uses 80 Watts (the maximum amount of power it can use). It also fully uses one of the 16 threads of my i7-11800H (TDP of 45W). Let's overestimate a bit and say it uses 100% of the CPU (even though in reality it's only 6.25%), which adds 45 watts resulting in 125 watts (or 83 watts if you account for the fact that it only uses one thread).

That's 125 watts for 4 seconds for one image, or about 0.139 WH (0.000139KWH). That would be 7200 images per KWH. Playing one hour of Cyberpunk on a PS5 (assuming 200 watts) would be equivalent to me generating 1440 images on my laptop.

Don't censor the word tits ya fucking prude!

Same with water usage. Everybody has to reduce water, not wash cars while industry and agriculture who use like ¾ of the water don't do anything

you can say tits online

Gee almost as if capitalism is the actual underlying issue.

To paraphrase another Twitter post, "AI uses the same amount of power per day as Guatemala for the sole purpose of making kinda acceptable slide decks for consultants to use when telling other corporate types how many people to fire"

Perhaps if there was a lot less asphalt and concrete and more shade trees and grass, it might be a bit cooler and more comfortable?

I’ve got solar panels and AC. I’m keeping the house at meat locker freezing while staying within the solar panel production. Might as well use the power when it’s there.

Some people will complain about using AC in general. They can sweat all they want - I’m keeping cool.

We're so into pushing the limits of AI, but we're forgetting about the important stuff, like making sure everyone has power when the weather goes crazy. It's like we're so focused on the shiny new toy that we're ignoring the basics. It's like we're trading our populations health for a few cool pictures. We need to think about the bigger picture and make sure we're not sacrificing what really matters for the sake of technology.

Now I'm wondering how you draw a girl with 5 text-to-speech (tts) programs.

A girl with 5 tits?!

That's disgusting. Where?

Okay, but like... can I see it?

How long would anyone even live at 79 degrees though?

The irony here is most AI is "mundane" and not diffusion or LLM AI.

For instance... the "AI" X is using to produce feeds ingest posts, serve ads and such.

X, Facebook and so on are the real villains here, and Mastadon, Lemmy, and (I guess?) Bluesky are the heroes, skipping all that attention optimization nonsense.
