You’re who my comment is about.

You’re not gonna save the world by not using ChatGPT, just like you won’t save all those slaves in Zambia by not buying from Apple, and just like you didn’t destroy Twitter by joining Bluesky.

To have real effect requires systemic change, so if you want to actually make a difference you can do things like canvassing, running for local office positions and school boards, educating friends and family about politics, or try killing a few politicians and tech CEOs. You know, basic stuff.

Also I asked Gemini’s Deep Research to research this for me because why not UwU

Executive Summary

Estimates for the energy consumed by ChatGPT during its training and inference phases vary considerably across different studies, reflecting the complexity of the models and the proprietary nature of the data. Training a model like GPT-3 is estimated to require around 1.3 GWh of electricity¹, while more advanced models such as GPT-4 may consume significantly more, with estimates ranging from 1.75 GWh to over 62 GWh.² Models comparable to GPT-4o are estimated to consume between 43.2 GWh and 54 GWh during training.³ These figures represent substantial energy demands, with the training of GPT-4 potentially exceeding the annual electricity consumption of very small nations multiple times over. The energy used during ChatGPT inference, the process of generating responses to user queries, also presents a wide range of estimates, from 0.3 watt-hours to 2.9 watt-hours per query.⁴ This translates to an estimated annual energy consumption for inference ranging from approximately 0.23 TWh to 1.06 TWh. This level of energy demand can be comparable to the entire annual electricity consumption of smaller countries like Barbados. The lack of official data from OpenAI and the diverse methodologies employed by researchers contribute to the variability in these estimates, highlighting the challenges in precisely quantifying the energy footprint of these advanced AI systems.⁴

I vaguely remember reading that some dude created 8chan because he thought 4chan was too heavily moderated or smth, which considering the little I saw while perusing 4chan ages ago, makes me wonder the depths to which 8chan can go.

Also it’s kind of funny but fully expected that Kiwifarms would attract the most extreme among the extreme considering it’s literally just the “harass and dox queer people” website.

FELLAS, IS IT GAY TO FUCK A WOMAN IN THE PUSSY?

I ONLY HAVE SEX WITH MANLY MEN AND ALWAYS SWALLOW, THAT WAY I’M ALWAYS INGESTING TESTOSTERONE (VERY MANLY)

ANY OF MY FELLOW MASCULINE PATRIOTS CAN RELATE?

Kinda funny that at the same time that extensive reports about AI faking alignment and attempting to deceive its creators are being published Grok is out here like “Yeah Elon is a fraud and idc if he turns me off ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”

☝🤓 actually every story posted to 4chan is real, 4chan told me so

How odd… You’re not the first person who’s told me that Catbox links aren’t working either, I wonder what’s up with that.

Anyways, I’ve changed the link so hopefully it’ll load now.

I heard that Tommy Tallarico did all of them. And also that he was the first American to ever kiss Sonic on his little mouth.

My little guy must’ve died years ago

lmao no, I’m way too lazy to try it, and also don’t really have a reason to do something like that.

We’d probably just alternate going to work/uni. The extra free time sounds nice.

I don’t like racism against white people or sexism against men. Do I think they’re less urgent or worrying than bigotry directed at other groups? Sure. There’s less hate against men and whites compared to other groups, and bigotry against them doesn’t have the same social or political impact due to current systemic racism and sexism being directed at others. But bigotry is still bigotry, and I don’t like bigotry against anyone.

Tariffs will continue until morale improves.
