25 year old me would be surprised that I switched jobs a few times, got my bachelors degree and don’t work as a plant operator anymore. He would be most surprised about which people are still a major part of my life, and which turned out to be not worth it.

Contrary to “Nice, dick!”.

I think we just don’t understand each other here. At least, I’m lost at what belief I have to back up. But I’ll wind back to the first reply I made, and remove any comparison of local models vs cloud, since I don’t know how many people use the cloud models, and I don’t know how many people use local models. So, here it goes:

Your reply is about people turning off their computers after using AI. Which they can and will do. Now, again, forget about the local models or online models. It’s just people using AI and then turning off their computers, and you stated you didn’t know people do this. I hereby state that people actually do that.

So, before someone goes back to why I dragged local and cloud models into this: (and trying to answer to what I think was implied in your original comment) I wrote about local models vs cloud computing, and that cloud computing doesn’t stop being useful after one user is done with it. This may also be read as an indirect reply to the person you replied to, who stated people over estimate the energy usage of using AI vs doing it the other way.

I’m not going to do that, because I hate it when comments get edited in such a way that the whole context changes. However, to clarify: to your reply “I didn’t realize people shut off their computers after having AI do something they might not have otherwise done anyway” I answered that yes, people actually do that. If they run a local model, the model also shuts down. If they don’t run a local model, they can still shut down their computer and the next user can use ChatGPT or whatever online model they use.

1. I never claimed that computer usage goes down thanks to AI, and honestly I don’t see how that could be interpreted from my comment.
2. I never implied offline models are the norm anymore than you implied ChatGPT sits idle once a user logs off.

They do actually. And for the people not running local models, the idea of cloud computing is that once you’re done with it, someone else takes over. If you’re talking about the necessity of it all, sure, but we’re also not exactly advancing the human race by being on Lemmy are we?

From my experience just a few: Linux, boomers or generations in general, capitalism, whether US politics are important or not, whether you should have an opinion about everything, whether everything has to be serious all the time or not, asking for sources on statements made, whether a drawing of a clothed porn star is nsfw or not. Fortunately, I just learned the other day that besides blocking communites or people you can also filter on keywords.

It isn’t about convenience.

I could make the same argument for the Scottish trying to recast their “once in a generation” vote. Also, a generation is about twenty years, so for the sake of arguing you could expect another vote in 2034.

Sure, but “things change” sounds like something relatively minor, Brexit was a major history altering event.

The Scottish wanted to do a new vote after the Brexit was voted in, but that was quickly shut down by the UK government.

It doesn’t matter what you think, it matters what they think. And they don’t understand their own technology and it’s limitations.

You didn’t see that video of Zelensky visiting the White House?

Jack Black can only play Jack Black, which is not a Blues Brother. The Blues Brothers never lose their cool for one thing, Jack Black is never not over the top.

Wasn’t there a picture of Sandy earlier this week?

Edit: two days ago, and Sandy turns 27 tomorrow: https://lemmy.world/post/51659075

Is this only a year ago, with his wife humping the vice president and all?

On the other hand, Joey Valence and Brae did a pretty good cover of “Security” by Amyl and the Sniffers.

The Netherlands has them, if a building has multiple apartments there usually is a HOA. I think it used to be a lot like in the US where some bored pensioner decides to ruin everyone else’s day, but these days they are more and more run by corporations.

Meanwhile in the Netherlands I filled up my Hyundai Tucson for € 98.00 just yesterday. It wasn’t even empty.

That’s what I found, so it really is a religion.

That’s a lot of assumptions about me in a few sentences! I briefly searched for sources myself, but couldn’t find them. Since your comments here read like copy/pastes I guessed you had sources, but it seems it’s more like a religion to you; no sources because they’re just facts.
