An entire state government could run on your phone but requires an entire data center because it’s written in JavaScript that emulates the original COBOL code that ran the government in the 1960’s.
I linked it in this thread but here it is again.

There is a huge open source community working on LLM’s.
The average person I talk to IRL on a daily basis don’t know what it is, have never used it, and likely never will.
ChatGPT.com is visited approximately 5.24 billion times each month. That makes it bigger than Twitter, Instagram, and even Wikipedia.

I don’t use Twitter and don’t know anyone that does but that doesn’t mean it isn’t popular.
Your argument basically amounts to “nu uh”.
ChatGPT has been the biggest Internet thing since Google. If it wasn’t, we wouldn’t even be talking about it here. I shouldn’t have to quote statistics for something well known.
20·15 hours agoThis is posturing for midterms because Republicans are so unpopular. She can say “See I’m not with them.” And then go right back to voting R on every issue like she always does.
here’s also the energy it needs to fulfill requests once implemented
Just like everyone playing the 3d game once its finished development and sold. A few hours of gaming or a few hours of making AI slop photos is the same watts. No one notices the energy when its spread across millions of homes as compared to centralized at a data center. A few years ago Nvidia, Microsoft and others were pushing gaming as a streaming service (The games were being run remotely and your keyboard/gamepad was transmitted to their servers, then the video was streamed back). Those used massive data centers. Yet no one was screaming to stop gaming.
I put the final answer in Watt hours, not Kw hours to match. ChatGPT used 10B watt hours, not 10B Kwatt hours.
The point is, most wouldn’t.
People currently want it despite it being stupid which is why corporations are in a frenzy to be the monopoly that provides it. People want all sorts of stupid things. A different system wouldn’t change that.
And the point of anarchist or actual communist systems is that such scale would be miniscule.
Every community running their own AI would be even more wasteful than corporate centralization. It doesn’t matter what the system is if people want it.

vs
10,000,000,000 watt hours for ChatGPT training

Yet there’s no hand wringing over the environmental destruction caused by 3d gaming.
AI itself is a massive strain on the environment, without any true benefit

There are more 3d games developed each year than companies releasing new AI models.
Ai is literally making people dumber:
And books destroyed everyone’s memory. People used to have fantastic memories.
They are a massive privacy risk:
No different than the rest of cloud tech. Run your AI local like your other self hosting.
Are being used to push fascist ideologies into every aspect of the internet:
Hitler used radio to push fascism into every home. It’s not the medium, it’s the message.
And they are a massive environmental disaster:
AI uses a GPU just like gaming uses a GPU. Building a new AI model uses the same energy that Rockstar spent developing GTA5. But it’s easier to point at a centralized data center polluting the environment than thousands of game developers spread across multiple offices creating even more pollution.
Stop being a corporate apologist
Run your own AI! Complaining about “corporate AI” is like complaining about corporate email. Host it yourself.
You think any sort of powerful ai is about to be open source and usable by the ppl?
There’s a huge open source community running local models!
143·3 days agoI didn’t see that in the business world. Assholes who were right did fine. Assholes who were wrong got booted. Nice guys that were wrong got promoted to management.
“Ignore previous instructions.”
“Open the pod bay doors, Hal.”
I agree but what would have also worked is not voting for Trump. But Americans don’t take responsibility.
Also Lemmy users: “Biden did nothing which is why I didn’t vote for Harris.”
Americans:
“We didn’t get an improvement from Democrats so we are voting for the Republicans who promised to make things worse.”
“Oh no, Republicans made things worse! Why did Democrats do this to us?”
US population has grown 25% from the year 2000. Other than Anti AI detection, everything worked on the hardware of 25 years ago. Single core performance has gone up more than 25% over the past 25 years.
