IMHO this is just hopium.

There's no indication that they will not work together since they need each other for their own separate selfish reasons.

They will use each other as long as goals have not been met.

When those goals are met then they will have a falling out. And at that point it's too late for the rest of us.

Maybe our company is an odd one out but I'm pretty sure that number is more like 20-30%....

Out of a team of 10, 2 of us do about 50% of the work. 3 do about 30%, and the remaining five do about 20%... With probably two to three of them doing effectively nothing most of the time.

In our team isn't abnormal.

It's only going to get worse year over year as we move towards a dystopian corporation ran future.

The U.S. leading the pack on testing how much a rich person can get away with while directly interfering with a d profiting from the government, which is funded by the people.

It's just another grift, but this time in the open, corporate sponsored politicians being elected as presidents is going to become the norm. The only thing it takes is money to influence an undereducated populace.

Yep, but now that you have monopolies doing it, they can do whatever they want and abuse their position.

Why?

We should be spending an incredible amount on education. The entirety of our advancement as a species relies, fully, on our ability to train and educate our generations. A country's advantage on the global stage, it's ability to make good decisions, it's stability, quality of life....etc All hinge on education.

The "return on investment" is massive.

Just to mainain requires incredible effort, nevermind get better.

Guessing it's not a dead/halted project?

Heat pumps work at >100% thermal efficiency.

Air conditioners dont.

An air conditioner is a heat pump... That just works in one direction. It uses refrigeration just the same.

They both rely on creating a thermal gradient between two heat exchangers. And they are both negatively affected by extreme temperature gaps.

The heat exchanger facing outside with a heat pump must be colder than ambient temperature by a reasonable margin. The opposite goes for an AC. These qualities break down in extreme ranges for typical hardware.

This also, as expected, reduces the efficiency.

No you pretty much have this wrong in fundamental way.

These websites are not using you to train their models. Google is using these websites to use you to train Google's models.

Yeah but this is reddit Lemmy where nuance and discussions are down voted until they reach equilibrium with the lowest common denominator.

Treating statements like false dichotomies is central to that.

Being incapable of separating a topic from a sub discussion that touches on that topic, and applying critical thinking, is a staple of online communities these days.

Computational demands scale aggressively with model size.

And if you want a response back in a reasonable amount of time you're burning a ton of power to do so. These models are not fast at all.

You are conveniently ignoring model size here...

Which is a primary impact on power consumption.

And any other processing and augmentation being performed. System prompts and other things that are bloating the token size ...etc never mind the fact that you're getting a response almost immediately for something that an at home GPU cluster (not casual PC) would struggle with for many minutes, this isn't always a linear scale for power consumption.

You are also ignoring the realities of a data center. Where the device power usage isn't the only power consumption of the location, cooling must be taken into consideration as well. Redundant power switching also comes with a percentage loss in transmission efficiency which adds to power consumption and heat dispersion requirements.

The majority cost of Firefox is engineering.

Any cutbacks will negatively affect the ability for Firefox to keep up and will probably start a slow decline towards collapse and irrelevance.

The big thing for me is privacy and control.

Plex requires Cloud access via accounts.

This is a sitting duck for subpoenas to mass punish media libraries once copyright holders get a more friendly government that cares less about citizens rights (which is coming up here soon).

Nothing about my jelly fin instance leaks my information to anyone else's servers.

You can't say the same about Plex.

Jellyfin is a fork of Emby.

But better.

🤣🤣

This is so on the nose, I love it.

As a male who quite enjoys having said orface impaled by (lady) dick. These folks need to start enjoying life instead of hating it and dragging everyone else down with them.

Ravenously asperate dong nog

Brother, your killing me here, this is epic.

Chrome has a massive market share and Google abuses that market share by breaking web standards, and pushing people towards Chrome because "the competition doesn't work".

They act in bad faith and abuse their position to more deeply entrench their position in anticompetitive monopolistic ways.

That's the Crux of it.

Because that's a typical demographics question for any survey worth it's salt?

Interpreting MRI scans?

Translating language?

Object detection on assembly lines?

Object detection to sort recycling?

Identifying disease markers?

Classifying data?

....etc

Things that it's been used for for ages now, and has become ubiquitous for.

It already has been applied to healthcare, and nearly every other industry, and has been for more than a decade.

The current LLM hype is the only thing most people know of when they hear "AI". Which is a shame.

Peak hype-based ignorance 🤣

Being this confident while also not knowing how AI has been in use for more than the last decade, and going off on a rant on AI mistakes when a defining feature of AI is to solve problems that classical programming cannot, but without guaranteed results, is cringe AF
