The US Army parade sponsored by Coinbase really is like those "corporate dystopia" movies that always felt so satirically over-the-top

Absolutely love this visualisation from Le Mond about energy usage for basic search queries for AI

Artificial intelligence consumes massive amounts of energy. Here's why

From developing models to their everyday use, generative AI has proven to be extremely energy-hungry. Le Monde breaks down the reasons behind this voracious demand, as their user base continues to expand.

How rude of them!

News media:

"Israel has started a war with Iran, some buildings damaged and a few people killed. Oh dear"

"Iran has retaliated against Israel by dropping some missiles. Some lady lost her grandparents photos - THIS IS A WAR CRIME"

And fuck sake the world does not need a live action remake of "How to Train Your Dragon"

Tane Piper ⁂1d ago

Thing is - world has been dragged through this shit in the past - but living through it, there's never been a time like *now* that felt like forces aligning in such a way the work *has* to change.

We've had war and fascisim before, colonialism before, and even climate change before - but now we have all of them in one go.

Tane Piper ⁂1d ago

Amazing how we're all going to get dragged into Israel's colonial trauma/tantrum and America's downfall into a fascist state.

I preferred history in the books.

...something about the AI popup here is just...

...mercilessly ironic.

I've never actually read the story before, just summaries of it, and the sexism is jarringly weird.

Sky, Cozy Goth Prince of Cats 3d ago

The sexism just keeps getting more and more jarring.

The truest torment: being stuck in computer hell as a woman physically reliant on the most sexist guy you know.

*sigh* finished the story. I think less of it than before I read it.

Sky, Cozy Goth Prince of Cats 3d ago

An interesting thought I had running through my head as I read it was "ugh, this is so edgelord" coupled with "ok, but it would be really horrifying for a computer trained on all the worst edgelord torture-porn slop to be able to carry that stuff out".

There were some interesting unreliable-narrator potentials with the narrator's insistence that his mind hadn't been warped by the computer while he continuously thinks like a gamergate commenter. I kind of wish they'd played more into that, though there are barriers to doing so because the narrative is limited to his unreliable perspective.

Sky, Cozy Goth Prince of Cats 3d ago

They could have done so much more with the warpedness of Benny's and Ellen's entwined torments, but the author just wasn't capable of taking on a gay man's or straight woman's perspective enough to fully draw out the thread there. He left the building blocks, but he didn't quite know how to put them together.

@skysailor the best version of it is the video game - all credit to the makers there were choices you could make - but honestly it's not a very well written story, just a well written terrifying idea
