I think it's Pandora's box, once opened it can't be closed.

I understand there have been instances where it's been closed in other countries, but I just can't see that vision working in the US society.

I can't squat 300 lbs without a full squat rack and weight set

Do you use Claude Code? It's the only time I've had 90%+ success rate.

The only accessible data come from mistral, most other ai devs are not exactly happy to share the inner workings of their tools.

Important to point out this is really only valid towards Western AI companies. Chinese AI models have mostly been open source with open papers.

It also has a very flexible "thinking" nature, which means far far less tokens spent on most peoples responses.

Then why are you guys avoiding a logical discussion around environmental impact instead of spouting misinformation?

The fact of the matter is eating a single steak or lb of ground beef will eclipse all most peoples AI usage. Obviously most can't escape driving, but for those of us in cities biking will far eclipse your environmental impact than not using AI.

Serving AI models aren't even as bad as watching Netflix, this counterculture to AI is largely misdirected anger that thrown towards unregulated capitalism. Unregulated data centers. Unregulated growth.

Training is bad but training is a small piece of the puzzle that happens infrequently, and again circles back to the unregulated problem.

My employer is pushing AI usage, if the work is done the work is done. This is the reality we're supposed to be living in with AI, just conforming to the current predatory system because "AI bad" actively harms more than it helps.

A good chunk of the Internet usage is HD videos which is far more power hungry than AI. I agree it's added on top...just like streaming did in 2010, and as things will continue to do.

Would love an explanation on how I'm in the wrong on reducing my work week from 40 hours to 15 using AI.

Existing in predatory capitalistic system and putting the blame on those who utilize available tools to reduce the predatory nature of our system is insane.

This is valid to all data centers serving all websites. Your take is a criticism of unregulated capitalism, not AI.

Beef farming is a far far far more impactful discussion, yet here we are.

Im thinking of the fork the devs of the programming.dev instance were trying to build, it was PHP. Can't remember the name, then this and Pixelfed. I don't know if favoritism is the right word but I do feel like 3 projects is a lot for the current ecosystem lol.

Certainly an interesting decision.
