i feel it would actually kill some people to just say, yes, ai uses a lot of power, and no other qualifying statements tacked on

This is incorrect. Look up the “duck curve” or if you prefer real-world examples look at the California electricity market (CAISO) where they have an excellent “net demand curve” that illustrates the problem.
I watch big state and national grid loads (for fun) and I see two distinct peaks: 7-8AM when everyone goes to work, and then around 5-7 PM when people commute home and heat up dinner.
Otherwise it's a linear diagonal curve coinciding with temperatures.
I personally try to keep my own energy usage a completely flat line so I can benefit from baseline load generator plants like nuclear (located not that far away).

Let me express it to you with some numbers...
The US is ~3.81 million square miles in size.The F150 has sold 8.810 million units in the US in the last 10 years.
There are ~ 2.3 F150s fewer than 10 years old for every square mile in this country.
There is no way the majority of those trucks are going to job sites, or hauling junk, or pulling a trailer, just look around. That's not even all trucks. Thats just one model, from one brand, for a single 10 yr period.
These trucks are primarily sold as a vanity vehicle, and a minivan alternative, and that's what I think when I see one.

If by "climate change" you mean societal climate, then yes, i'd see your point. Society feels more angry year after year, it's definitely heating up.
If you mean "climate change" as is typically understood, then no. The solar revolution is progressing quite swiftly. We're probably gonna reduce CO2 emissions by 50% in 2032 (my personal guess).
You're not saving the planet. Obviously, Earth will continue, but, without the human parasites.

Didn't some legislation come out banning making laws against AI? (which I realize is a fucking crazy sentence in the first place- nothing besides rights should just get immunity to all potential new laws)
So the cities aren't even the bad guys here. The Senate is.

Nonsense. This is some Trump style math.
No, trump style math would be saying that The number of Trucks Towing has gone DOWN 400% PERCENT after the EVIL AMERICA HATING COMMUNIST Dems elected a soon-to-be-illegal Migrant Gang member as Mayor of New York NYC.

I compared the TDP of an average high-end graphics card with the GPUs required to run big LLMs. Do you disagree?
I do, because they're not at full load the entire time it's in use

This level of collective delusion is crazy. I don't think any amount of stats will change your mind so you're clearly argueing in bad faith but sure:
https://explodingtopics.com/blog/chatgpt-users says 5.2B monthly visits compared to Facebook 12.7 and Instagram's 7.5. Chatgpt is literally bigger than X.com already. Thats just one tool and LLM's have direct integrations in phones and other apps.
I really don't understand what's the point of purposefully lying here? We can all hate billionaires together without the need for this weird anti-intellectual bullshit.
I don't agree that it's the most used invention this century. Also, typing "hi there gibbity" hardly counts as actually using the tool. If thats what you mean though, sure.

They are, it'd be uneconomical not to use them fully the whole time. Look up how batching works.

We're going away folks, and nothing of any true value will be lost, except all the species that did live in homeostasis with the Earth that we're taking with us in our species' avarice induced murder-suicide
Can't be soon enough, really. I'd rather we take fewer other species along with us.

Worse is Google that insists on shoving a terrible AI-based result in your face every time you do a search, with no way to turn it off.
I'm not telling these systems to generate images of cow-like girls, but I'm getting AI shoved in my face all the time whether I want it or not. (I don't).

I know she's exaggerating but this post yet again underscores how nobody understands that it is training AI which is computationally expensive. Deployment of an AI model is a comparable power draw to running a high-end videogame. How can people hope to fight back against things they don't understand?
Right, but that's kind of like saying "I don't kill babies" while you use a product made from murdered baby souls. Yes you weren't the one who did it, but your continued use of it caused the babies too be killed.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism and all that, but I feel like here is a line were crossing. This fruit is hanging so low it's brushing the grass.

The rapid progress of renewables is barely treading water next to increases in demand.
Global fossil fuel consumption has still increased despite lots of that new solar and wind capacity added over the last few years.The way i see the data renewables are going to have to speed up quite a bit faster to actually start replacing fossil fuels in a significant way. But problem is the fossil fuels will then just get cheap and people will find new or increased other uses for them - so the emissions will probably still happen from one source or another however many solar panels get added.
Oil, and to a lesser extent natural gas, are such a convenient source, store and means of transporting energy that no way are all humans going to leave it underground or put it back down there.
The best proven method to reduce GHG emissions seems to be widespread economic recession (demand reduction) - but the bounce back has been pretty quick after 2008 and 2020 - so it's not all that beneficial in the medium to long term. https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/annual-change-in-energy-related-co2-emissions-1900-2024

That's your opinion. Fact is that AI is used worldwide by lots of people to great success. It doesn't work everywhere, it isn't "a tool to end all tools", but saying AI is worthless when using air conditioning isn't, is straight up false, especially if you take into account how much power is used by people / businesses using AC and how much power is used by AI.

Look man, I can't tell if you genuinely believe what You're saying and the corpos have you by the balls, or if you're trolling. I hope you're trolling honestly.

I've been trying to write this comment the more concise possible, I'm trying my best. "We're going away", yes, that's true. No matter what we are leaving this place, but, that doesn't mean that the last days of humanity have to be surrounded by pollution and trash. All I can get of that quote in the image is that we should let big companies shit on us till we die.

The sociopath fascist capitalists won. They have multilayered protection from us from propaganda dividing us and turning us on one another without end to government capture and having the exclusive use of state violence to protect the capital markets and literally having state sanctioned murder for for private profit. This isnt a war, this is a well oiled Orwellian occupation. The people surrendered half a century ago without terms and received the delusion that they'll be the rich ones one day herp derp.
We can't do anything about the misery they spread, and that sucks. We don't have to add to our misery by pretending there's hope and we can turn any of it around. They're going to do what we're going to do and short of being a lone "terrorist" that takes a pot shot at them like Luigi there's nothing to be done, because half of us are too cowardly and social opiate addicted(fast food, social media, literal opiates, etc) or too deluded and actually on the robber baron's side out of pick me mentality to take it as a rallying cry.
Only the planet itself, our shared habitat, can stop them. And it will, regardless of all the studies they kill, ecological treaties they betray, and all the propaganda they spread. The capitalists reign of terror will end when enough of their suckers are starving, not before.

She's not exaggerating, if anything she's undercounting the number of tits.
Well you asked for six tits but you're getting five. Why? Because the AI is intelligent and can count, obviously.

I mean I literally run a local LLM, while the model sits in memory it's really not using up a crazy amount of resources, I should hook up something to actually measure exactly how much it's pulling vs just looking at htop/atop and guesstimating based on load TBF.
Vs when I play a game and the fans start blaring and it heats up and you can clearly see the usage increasing across various metrics
One user vs a public service is apples to oranges and it's actually hilarious you're so willing to compare them.

My guy, we're not talking about just leaving a model loaded, we're talking about actual usage in a cloud setting with far more GPUs and users involved.
