i think the issue is probably more to do with those locked-up proprietary models. at least, this wired article mentions how openai gave an apparent dubious metric about energy usage: https://archive.is/jMATv
or probably maybe it's the training that's the expensive part? I'm not really sure. should research more I thinks.
(and even then, energy usage is just one of the ethical concerns with AI... so I still feel crappy using it )
this is all in lua, and its garbage collection would cause a bunch of lag spikes. im planning on making a rhythm game with this, and lag spike are a no go
but i seemingly ran out of opportunities to optimize my code. so I opted to manage the garbage collection myself using garbagecollect()! it runs it every frame, but stops it if it'll cause any frames to drop.
it doesn't take memory usage into account. so theoretically, the playdate could run out of memory!! but laggy always vs crash sometimes...
