@foone

just a pet peeve of mine: pointing out falsly used units

gigawatt is power. How much gigajoules can be used in one second. Just like miles per hour.

the total amount can be measured in gigawatthours. That is equivalent to drawing one gigawatt for one hour.

so they used the crazy amount of one gigawatthour. 😲

HOLY FUCK DID THE "CORRECTING STRANGERS ON INSIGNIFICANT DETAILS IS MY WHOLE PERSONALITY" CROWD COME OUT FOR THIS. YIKES.

I, FOR ONE, THINK YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO RIG UP A SERVICEABLE TERMINATOR WITH TWO CAR BATTERIES AND A T-SHIRT GUN. WHATEVER THE GPT PEOPLE ARE DOING IS JUST BAD CRAFTSMANSHIP.

@foone They spent a gigawatt hour training a computer to emulate a typical large consultancy business. Would have been easier just to buy part of a big consulting business.

@foone this post is very triggering. It should really have a content warning.

Gigawatt what? Minutes? Hours? Weeks?

Gigawatt is a measure of power, not energy. But I'm fairly certain you know that, which must mean you did this on purpose just to troll all the pendants like me. Well played!

@foone I came here for the corrections in both units and magnitude and was not disappointed.

@foone at least burn 1.21 gigawatts so that the AI can go back in time and prevent all of this from ever happening

Sucking up resources is evidence Skynet became self sustaining sometime around 1999, and really hit its stride by 2010 or so. GenAI is just more proof.

Power calc pedantry to follow.

https://www.washington.edu/news/2023/07/27/how-much-energy-does-chatgpt-use/

Estimated ~10gwh to train, and ~1gwh/day to run.

~500 days in operation, so ~1/2 twh consumed so far.

~25pwh annual global electric consumption.

So, < one fiftythousandth of global consumption (~0.005%).

@foone A gigawatthour is just about what a Boeing or Airbus uses in fossil fuel when crossing the Atlantic ocean.
There are about 600 planes doing this trip per day. That‘s how humanity is going to be overthrown.

foone OP , vor einem Monat

@chris It's still too much energy to waste on a glorified chatbot that isn't even going to kill us all!

chris , vor einem Monat

@foone Maybe if we train more chatbots - like 600 per day - they can kill us all by proxy of climate change. Would that be sufficient?

@foone Gigawatt hours? I think you want units of energy, rather than power.

If you spend that much time and effort building an AI it should be less than an hour before something is on fire, several people are dead, and someone is talking about how it was wrong to tamper in God's domain.
