            It throttles my gpu less than playing a game does. ‘Spose we should ban gaming too?

              Ai uses large servers and data farms. It doesn’t have to throttle your machine because it isn’t using your machine.

                No it does not. When I run an offline model on my machine it uses my 4 year old GPU and runs for ~50 seconds. You people are completely ignorant about how this all works, yet are the most vocal about it.

                  90% of people do not use offline models, especially for everyone doing ai code and video. The offline models are undeniably worse and slower. These ai companies didn’t just magic billions out of thin air, most people are using the massive data farms. Also people are generally not playing 14 hours a day maxed out gaming, where for ai they might use it all day during work.

                    The existence of offline models highlights a nuance that some people deny even exists though, causing people to talk around one another. I wish it would be more widely acknowledged, as it would make some conversations around AI easier.

            You’re on a computer. You probably game too. You’re burning resources where ever you go. We need tools to fight fascists. I say use the tools we have. Without it, they have an advantage being able to create content and analysis. Also forests are fine. Don’t be dramatic. I’m not convinced that bots didn’t drive a lot of AI hate so that the left would hobble itself

              Ai uses more resources than that and the tech bros are very responsible for the current fascism and I’m not going to use ai slop tools that are quickly using up the rest of our drinking water.

              The Forrest’s are not fine. They burn down every fucking year.

                  Okay? I really don’t give a shit to use the fascist tech bro slop machines. I don’t want it to run offline on my computer. I don’t want it to run at all. I think we should break its legs so it can’t even walk anymore.

                  Fuuuck ai.

                    It matters when your argument was that it uses water and more resources than playing games, when the reality is it does neither of them when used on your personal device.

                    You’re complaining about datacentres not LLMs.

          Still way too many zealots screeching. But it’s getting there.

        More like, “it’s obviously good sometimes”.

        The extremist hardline stance will continue to soften over time to the point people will stop caring at all about it.
