    Wasteful?

    Energy production is an issue. Using that energy isn't. LLMs are a better use of energy than most of the useless shit we produce everyday.

    Did the LLMs tell you that? It's not hard to look up on your own:

    Data centers, in particular, are responsible for an estimated 2% of electricity use in the U.S., consuming up to 50 times more energy than an average commercial building, and that number is only trending up as increasingly popular large language models (LLMs) become connected to data centers and eat up huge amounts of data. Based on current datacenter investment trends,LLMs could emit the equivalent of five billion U.S. cross-country flights in one year.

    Far more than straightforward search engines that have the exact same information and don't make shit up half the time.

      I don't like that 10 dnc senators voted yes, but I absolutely place 100% of the blame on the GOP.

      Reminder that failure to pass a resolution by the 14th, within 4 days of its introduction on the 10th, would automatically trigger government shutdown and recess of congress, giving Trump even more authority to discontinue payments to government programs and offices. It was made law on the 15th of March. Republicans left no room for negotiation.

      Any Democrat is better than Any Republican.

      Ah yes so just let them shut down the government for the most vunerable americans, and let the part that throws people in jail run free. This is good because instead of everyone hurting, only the people republicans want to hurt are hurting. The rest of the population is free to ignore fascism and go about their normal day.

      This brilliant strategy brought to you by people who need to color code morality!

          1. Say something blatantly uninformed on an online forum
          2. Get corrected on it
          3. Make reference to how someone is perceived at parties, an entirely different atmosphere from an online forum, and think you made a point

          Good job.

            1. See someone make a comment about a AI going rogue after being forced to produce too much goblin tentacle porn
            2. Get way to serious over the factual capabilities of a goblin tentacle porn generating AI.
            3. Act holier than thou over it.
              3a) Be completely oblivious to comedic hyperbole.

            Good job.

              I'm talking about the Continuing resolution. Here have a read and let me know if you want to discuss it. I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I am certain you have not read the CR, and I'm suspicious you do not understand how government opperates.

                Yes, talking about the CR vote, as was I in my previous comment when I gave a precise timeline of the events surrounding the bill you just linked to.

                  It didn't cut funding. It expanding funding leading up to next years funding bill. It also expanded executive powers needlessly. Vaguely worded clauses that will be used for more executive overreach. So ya. Shutting down the government for a week or two to force a bipartisan CR, and showing the american people what it looks like when they cut half the government for tax cuts this summer.

                    Non-Defence spending decreased 13 Billion with the CR compared to last year.

                    I would have preferred the shutdown, but don't act like it would have accomplished needed goals in opposing the Budget or the Executive Branch.

                      Ah sorry I only saw the 6 Billion dollar increase in spending on the defense side.

                      But ya saving 13 billion by what slashing IRS, and critical enforcement that would have also been shut down? Like thats the point. They're cutting critical services and allowing more executive overreach. We're just gonna stand by all year and watch them strip us of all our resources and leave us with crippling debt. This is foreshadowing for the next round of cuts and taxbreaks.

                        Because you are coming from the perspective of a reasonable person

                        These people are billionaires who expect to get everything for free. Rules are for the plebs, just take it already

                        That’s what they are saying though. These shouldn’t be thought of as “rules”, they are suggestions near universally designed to point you to the most relevant content. Ignoring them isn’t “stealing something not meant to be captured”, it’s wasting time and resources of your own infra on something very likely to be useless to you.
