collection of posts with the same energy

I literally thought this was all one chain of reblogs

Idgaf if you don't want to write essays for school. I don't care if you don't want to write corporate emails yourself. I don't care if you can't draw well, I don't care if you can't write well, I don't care if you just really really want to talk to your favorite fictional character but don't want to RP with a real person because you have social anxiety or whatever

If you're still regularly using generative ai, chatgpt or midjourney or character.ai or literally whatever the fuck, im personally blaming you when my utility prices start going up.

Why would utility prices go up because of ai?

(I am not defending the usage of generative AI/ChatGPT/Character.ai etc etc i am very much against it - I am just curious as to the correlation between using it and utility price surge please don't come at me this is a genuine question)

Happy to help.

ChatGPT uses so much energy that the US is literally reversing course on coal and gas usage to make up for it. In Santa Clara, for example, data centers used 60% of the ENTIRE CITY'S electricity.

ChatGPT uses 1-3 bottles of water for cooling for every query you put into it. This is FRESH WATER, which is evaporated and eventually mostly returns to the ocean, effectively removing a lot of it from our already dwindling fresh water supply on the planet. It also consumes 17 THOUSAND TIMES more electricity than the average American home.

More AI use = more data centers = power drain on local cities = gas, electricity, and water utility prices rise because all of our resources are being funneled into a machine that makes garbage

Well that *WAS* supposed to be this year and then the current administration absolutely fucked the relationship between the US government and Canadian government and now that whole thing is caught up in antagonistic paperwork hell so we'll see if I can talk about it in October or not.

The short version is that in 1859 there was a dispute on San Juan Island between an American and a Canadian about a pig with a fondness for potatoes that very nearly resulted in an international war because where the actual border WAS in the San Juan Islands was... Not exactly clear.

Two military camps, one British and one American, were established and the American one has had a somewhat colorful history since then, which my Dad is the accidental world expert on because he likes to write alternate histories (like "canon divergent AU" for fanfic but the canon is actual history).

At some point, someone in the FBI read his story set in the aftermath of the Pig War and realized his alternative history might actually be RIGHT about what happened, so he was called in to explain his research and where he took creative liberties and where he thought the story was justified by the evidence.

We'll see if it comes out or not.

btw it is sexy and cool to uplift and admire people who have skills you wish you had without using their ability as a stick to beat yourself with. even and especially if you are jealous of them.
