"While it's difficult to quantify the electricity used by AI, a report estimated that a ChatGPT query uses nearly 10 times as much electricity as a Google search query.

That makes some people uncomfortable."

Um... It should make EVERYONE uncomfortable, Suzanne. Maybe that's part of the problem 🙄

"if we can't train AI on copyrighted works, then it'll never get to the point where we can make tons of money off of it" ok? how is that anyone else's problem? If I can't rob a bank, then I won't have $20 million tomorrow. Should I be allowed to rob a bank then?

Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones.

Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.

For those who don't know this story, which I first shared six years ago today....

This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine.

I want to thank T. Kingfisher for making it extremely clear in chapter 1 that the dog survives in this book.

A Language of Dragons 💙📚🪐📚

I don’t normally read YA but I really enjoyed this book. It would be great for folks who liked Fourth Wing but want way less spice and more dragon facts.
