Are these percentages referring to total biomass or population count?

Oh yeah this whole thing is very very much convenient to Nvidia and data center companies lmao.

I still think they're incentivized to make the models more efficient as they could then squeeze out even more profit, it's just that it's a property of the technology itself that it doesn't really work well until you have bajillions of parameters.

Funny title but in all seriousness very based, fuck missionaries I hope they all get clubbed to death by the uncontacted tribes they're pestering.

Models that you can run locally on reasonably priced consumer grade hardware are always going to be crap, you really need the beefy models that destroy the environment for it to be somewhat useful.

I'd argue only at that point can the AI actually be useful to you because you're aware of its inherent limitations and can just use it for the things you know it's good at, which is not that many things actually so yeah you end up using it way less.

Maybe it was the cheapest option to host all that? Doesn't really matter IMO, just download it if you have the storage.

Yeah ok but most households probably don't absolutely need an AC, there's definitely people that would be put at risk if they didn't have one but on average in the west I don't think it's the case.

Is Zohran good? It's a good signal that the dems are against him but also I've seen him mince his words and weasel out of some questions similar to what AOC and Bernie do usually, so far it seems to me like he'll be New York AOC.

Jesus that image is hideous, why the fuck would anybody wear that?

Oh yeah the repairability/upgradability of Macbooks is absolutely horrendous but at least you can be pretty sure it's gonna last you a while unless you have an accident with it.

Eh, kind of but I even found Thinkpads to be lacking there, they start showing wear and tear symptoms after around a year tops.

Unfortunately, literally the only company that produces laptops with some actual durability and build quality is Apple. I would really like to be proven wrong here but so far I haven't.

Poor guys, they looked so cute.

Same thing almost happened with the Kakapo, a flightless parrot that has no natural predators and was very docile and friendly.
