And when it did it also altered the results, making them worse, because it was trying to satisfy “fuck” as part of your search.

Their motivation is always ads. The ai response is longer and takes time to read so more time looking at their ads. If the answer is sufficient, you might not even click away to the search result.

AI is a potential huge bonanza to search sites, letting them suck up the ad revenue that used to goto the search results

They don’t want to direct you to the thing you’re searching for anymore because that means you’re off their site quickly. Instead they want to provide themselves whatever it is you were searching for, so you will stay on their site and generate ad money. They don’t care if their results are bad, because that just means you’ll stick around longer, looking for an answer.

To make search more lucrative, they’ve enshitified it and went too far, but for a short time there were great quarterly resukts. Now they’re slowly losing users. So they try AI to fix it up.

It’s also a signal to the shareholders that they’re implementing the latest buzzword, plus they’re all worried AI will take off and they’ve missed that train.

You can also use alternatives like startpage and ecosia which use google results, I believe.

I’ll have to look for this, thanks!

Also the search parameters are undocumented internal things that can change or be disabled at any time.

Massive trucks? They need those trucks for truck stuff, like this giant dilhole parking with his wife to go to Aldi today. Not even a flag on the end of that ladder, it filled a whole spot by itself.

My couch wouldn’t fit in that bed, and every giant truck I see is sparkling shiny and looks like it hasn’t done a day of hard labor, much like the drivers.

You underestimate the number of people you wouldn’t class as intelligent. If no one wanted massive trucks, they would have disappeared off the market within a couple of years because they wouldn’t sell. They’re ridiculous, inefficient hulks that basically no one really needs but they sell, so they continue being made.

Do you have any data to support this is actually the case? I see this all the time but absolutely zero evidence but a 2015 Axios survey with no methodology or dataset. Nearly every article cites this one industry group with 3 questions that clearly aren’t exclusive categorical and could be picked apart by a high school student.

I ask this question nearly every time I see this comment and in 5 years I have not found a single person who can actually cite where this came from or a complete explanation of even hope they got to that conclusion.

The truck owners I know, myself included, use them all the time for towing and like the added utility having the bed as as secondary feature.

Do the new models even have non-“smart” fittings? I thought all the electronic chip plants closed during covid.

Immediate to Short-Term (Days to Centuries)

• Hours to weeks: Power grids fail; nuclear reactors melt down without maintenance[11].
• Months to decades: Urban areas flood as drainage systems fail; buildings decay from weather and plant growth[6][11].
• 100–300 years: Steel structures collapse; concrete buildings crumble[5][7]. Most cities become overgrown forests[6].

Medium-Term (Thousands of Years)

• 1,000 years: Visible surface structures (e.g., roads, monuments) are buried or eroded. Plastics fragment but persist chemically[5][7].
• 10,000–250,000 years: Nuclear isotopes (e.g., plutonium-239) remain detectable in sediments and ice cores[7]. Mining tunnels fill with sediment but leave identifiable “industrial fossils”[7].
• 500,000 years: Microplastics and polymer layers in ocean sediments endure[5][10].

Long-Term (Millions of Years)

• 1–7 million years: Fossils of humans and domesticated animals persist. Geological strata show elevated carbon levels and mass extinction markers[4][8]. Deep mines and landfills remain as distinct layers[7][10].
• 50–100 million years: Continental drift subducts surface evidence; satellites decay or drift into space[3][10]. Only deep geological traces (e.g., mine shafts, isotope ratios) might endure[3][10].
• 250 million years: Next predicted mass extinction eradicates all mammals, including any remaining human traces[9].

Near-Permanent Traces

• Space artifacts: Lunar landers, Mars rovers, and Voyager probes persist for billions of years[3][10].
• Radio signals: Human broadcasts travel through space indefinitely at light speed[5].

Key Factors

• Detection likelihood: Aliens or future species could find traces for 100+ million years via deep geological analysis or space exploration[5][10].
• Total erasure: Requires Earth’s destruction (e.g., solar expansion in 5 billion years)[10].

We do have an impact but the earth will 100% be ok when we are dead and gone eventually. A million years ain’t shit to the earth.

We humans are a virus…a parasite and the earth will be better off once we are extinct.

“let”

The sociopath fascist capitalists won. They have multilayered protection from us from propaganda dividing us and turning us on one another without end to government capture and having the exclusive use of state violence to protect the capital markets and literally having state sanctioned murder for for private profit. This isnt a war, this is a well oiled Orwellian occupation. The people surrendered half a century ago without terms and received the delusion that they’ll be the rich ones one day herp derp.

We can’t do anything about the misery they spread, and that sucks. We don’t have to add to our misery by pretending there’s hope and we can turn any of it around. They’re going to do what we’re going to do and short of being a lone “terrorist” that takes a pot shot at them like Luigi there’s nothing to be done, because half of us are too cowardly and social opiate addicted(fast food, social media, literal opiates, etc) or too deluded and actually on the robber baron’s side out of pick me mentality to take it as a rallying cry.

Only the planet itself, our shared habitat, can stop them. And it will, regardless of all the studies they kill, ecological treaties they betray, and all the propaganda they spread. The capitalists reign of terror will end when enough of their suckers are starving, not before.

It’s from https://perchance.org/welcome and is super cool because it’s like half a soul-less AI and half a super cool tool that gets people into programming and they actually care about the Internet because they encourage people to learn how to code their own ais and have fun with it and I would absolutely have DEVOURED it when I was 13 on Tumblr (I forgot my ADHD meds today sorry if I’m rambling)

I meant to mention the other ones at fault, but I edited what I was typing and backspaced that part.

Thanks

Well you asked for six tits but you’re getting five. Why? Because the AI is intelligent and can count, obviously.

you are correct, and also not in any way disagreeing with me.

TBH most people still use old SDXL finetunes for porn, even with the availability of newer ones.

nice name btw

really depends. You can locally host an LLM on a typical gaming computer.

Not at all. Not even close.

Image generation is usually batched and takes seconds, so 700W (a single H100 SXM) for a few seconds for a batch of a few images to multiple users. Maybe more for the absolute biggest (but SFW, no porn) models.

LLM generation takes more VRAM, but is MUCH more compute-light. Typically one has banks of 8 GPUs in multiple servers serving many, many users at once. Even my lowly RTX 3090 can serve 8+ users in parallel with TabbyAPI (and modestly sized model) before becoming more compute bound.

So in a nutshell, imagegen (on an 80GB H100) is probably more like 1/4-1/8 of a video game at once (not 8 at once), and only for a few seconds.

Text generation is similarly efficient, if not more. Responses take longer (many seconds, except on special hardware like Cerebras CS-2s), but it parallelized over dozens of users per GPU.

This is excluding more specialized hardware like Google’s TPUs, Huawei NPUs, Cerebras CS-2s and so on. These are clocked far more efficiently than Nvidia/AMD GPUs.

…The worst are probably video generation models. These are extremely compute intense and take a long time (at the moment), so you are burning like a few minutes of gaming time per output.

ollama/sd-web-ui are terrible analogs for all this because they are single user, and relatively unoptimized.

How exactly did you come across this “fact”?

“The plane is flying, anyway.”

Are you interpreting my statement as being in favour of training AIs?

how about, fuck capitalism? Have you lost sight of the goal?

I did, as a matter of fact, fuck AI.

there is so much rage today. why don’t we uh, destroy them with facts and logic

nobody wanted according to whom? It’s literally the most used product of this century stop deluding yourself.

All datacenters in the world combined use like 5% of our energy now and the value we get from computing far outweighs any spending we have here. You’re better off not buying more trash from Temu rather than complain about software using electricity. This is ridiculous.

Im not sure what’s the point here? If we dont like LLMs and data centers using power then we use existing strategies that work like taxing their power use and subsidizing household power use which btw we’re already doing almost everywhere around the world in some form or another.

The data centers are actually easier to negotiate and work with than something like factories or households where energy margins are much more brittle. Datacenter employs like 5 people and you can squeeze with policy to match social expectations - you can’t do that with factories or households. So datacenter energy problem is not that difficult relatively speaking.

ok so 5 seconds of AC then? my point still stands.
