I don’t know why AI needs gigantic amounts of energy to come up with really shitty takes when most of y’all seem to do it just with burritos and tequila

Speaking for myself, the spelling might be better, and also the dedication to shitpost (I get bored with trying to think after one-too-many whiskeys)

Wait, we can get burritos and tequila for doing this? And no one told me???

It takes AI approximately 32,000 megawatts of power to assert that a crime is a likely RICO case. For perspective, that was near the final measured power output of Chernobyl Reactor IV before it exploded.

Hell I don't even need the tequila

Going to make billions by creating a "green AI" that is just posters working for $0.12/word.

standard rate is 15 to 25 cents. If you're going to pay someone, at least pay them the standard rate.

Hard to get tech industry buy-in if you can't promise that you have a plan to screw over workers.

It’s so cool that cities are like “pweeease only turn your AC on if you’re actively dying and don’t go below 79 🥺🤘🏻💗” while the AI nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1 image of a girl with 5 tits

I wonder if we can get Big Burrito and Big Tequila to come out strong against AI

I don’t even need burritos.

LACK of burritos and tequila is what causes shitty takes. You want your bile hard at work in your gut, not in your typing fingers, and your brain buzzed, but not buzzing.

Can’t forget the condiments

Sure, but have you properly factored in how much energy it takes to grow agave, then brew it into tequila, then ship it to my front door?

Saw that & immediately thought- “Hey, that’s Justin Timberlake’s martini!”

The human brain typically runs on 25 watts. So, we are all dim bulbs...

Just think of the odor-and-methane reduction if the burritos and tequila are removed from the shitty take assembly line process!

As someone who just made bad choices at a taco festival, I feel attacked.

I had to give up alcohol. Didn't give up the shitty takes though. Or the occasional demonstration of @scalzi.com's Law

Uh, whiskey here. Or wine. Strangely, I don't post my shitty takes on beer. There's probably a lesson for me here. We'll see if I take it, or just drink more beer.

That's part of the Hickburpfart cycle in analog biocomputing.
Tequila? I was raised in the 80s in the South. "Hey ya'll, watch this shit" was my mantra for over a decade. I have cannonballed an alligator from a rope swing for my own amusement.

Sometimes it's gin. Whiskey just gets me introspective.

Sadly most computers are lushes and have incredible tolerance to ethanol at this point

It all runs on Nvidia GPUs. Tons of them. We haven't seen a power efficient GPU from them, well, ever. Is it any wonder if you use thousands of them they suck up tons of power? (applies to coin mining too)

The human mind is a marvelous machine, indeed.

Look, Ken, E = mc^2, and c is really big, so c^2 is really really big, so that burrito gives me so much energy for bad takes
Avatar
Have ya seen how well burritos and tequila burn? Thas energy!

I find this HIGHLY OFFENSIVE. I prefer Fajitas, thank you very much.

Send more tequila please I can’t stand the competition.

There is no AI. The providers just scrape social media.

Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power

Because in our dystopian reality, there is no task that can't and won't be outsourced, not even this.

I seem to be in the wrong line of work.
