The training for the models still requires massive data centers, ai has caused data center power usage to double in the last five years, and wasting power on stealing art is still wasting power even if you reduce it down to just running a local model on your gaming pc, which is a tiny fraction of users.

The personal impact is the artist that does not want their art used this way. In this case the artist has made it incredibly clear that ai is a cancer on society and an affront to human life. I think that would affect a normal person that has any shame or empathy.

Stealing another artists work when they have very loudly and publicly stated they do not support you stealing their work does have a personal impact.

You just don’t see artists as people.

‘corporate’.

From the environmental impact, to the social impact to the personal impact absolutely no part of it is harmless.

Listen, not all nazi soldiers were particularly bad. I’m sure a chef in the rear guard probably did not do a single war crime. But when the SS existed we know that the chef isn’t what most people refer to when discussing war crimes of the era.

Its the same in this era. Sure, there are bad guys all over the place, but compare to the US there’s really only a handful of entities in the post WWII era that could be equals, and none more evil.

Its not just the government, though, the ideology itself is inherently evil. Anyone that’s a zionist is objectively a bad person.

No I also hate all zionist israelis. Nazi germany would’ve ended overnight had just a large plurality of workers stopped supporting the military. But it was the 1940s, there was no way they could know the horrors of the holocaust.

Israel would end within a week of a national strike by israeli citizens, and they can’t even claim ignorance like nazi civilians could have. The truth is a majority of israelis support zionism and support the regime despite having all information available.

Hating the people is okay too. As long as you’re hating them for the content of their character, not their nationality or other immutable characteristic.

You’re really over estimating agriculture as a technology tree. It takes pretty much no thought to notice that the trash pile tends to grow the things you put in the trash pile, and from there it’s experimentation on what in the trash pile of food makes more food (realistically medicinal herbs) grow.

Agriculture was developed at least a few thousand years before stationary settlement.

Every work from home person and every corporate end point will be upgrading; simply due to legal liability for the corporations. That alone is hundreds of millions of pcs and laptops getting thrown out (because anyone in IT knows no corpo is going to pay the extra hours to recycle properly).

Average users with no liability? Plenty will stay on win 10 until their use case no longer works, i.e. when steam dropped win vista compatibility, but plenty will be scared enough to upgrade.

The weird part will be seeing who sidegrades to a tablet in the corporate environment. Many android tablets can do everything needed for office work, and don’t have the same security cross section. Most app front ends are electron anyway these days so its not like x86 is needed.

All shit posts are jokes.

This is almost definitely a shit post from /x/ targeting the mandela effect or similar.

The currently largest single source of ewaste in the world should be criticized at every turn.

Yeah, like I said, white supremacist. At least you’re honest about it.

…are you actually just mask off arguing that repeating nazi propaganda like the false idea that hamptons crew shot first does not make you a nazi?

Do you people ever self reflect, even a little?

Spreading white supremacist viewpoints does make you a white supremacist.

Never thought I’d find an actual white supremacist on lemmy operating so openly. Guess reddit really did spill over too much.

Tell that to Fred hampton.
