I guess the main difference in all those activities is when doing something for yourself, as a hobby or relaxing activity, or when doing something as an obligation, or even worse, doing something for others. Even something like drawing can become terrible if you have to stress yourself, follow someone's orders instead of your own style, and have to do it fast to meet some deadline.

Thanks for linking the sources. I will take a look into that

People keep telling us that ai energy use is very low, but at the same time, companies keep building more and more giant power hungry datacenters. Something simply doesn't add up.

Sure, a small local model can generate text at low power usage, but how useful will that text be, and how many people will actually use it? What I see is people constantly moving to the newest, greatest model, and using it for more and more things, processing more and more tokens. Always more and more.

Where is this 3W from? W isn't even an energy unit, but a power unit.

I just get late, don't care anymore

This is the thing with proprietary platforms. They can do anything with our data and no one can do a thing about it. It's just a matter of time and all content in the big tech social networks will become just memories from past users. At least with the fediverse, independent parts can freely archive the content (sometimes it can be a bad thing, but well, nothing is perfect)

Well... with streaming services people don't actually have anything, because nothing in there is theirs to own ;)

Hope you're enjoying the freedom, fellow FOSSer :)

It always bugs me that china has higher windows usage than the rest of the world.

By the way, is it really around 6% for english-speaking users? That's huge!

Don't threaten, just do it!

I don't get why people are so stubborn to move away from corporate products.

Mr bean, is that you?

That's true. Your first comment was a bit confusing, sorry.
