Me and the homies all hate ai. The only thing people around me seem to use ai for is essentially just snapchat filters. Those people couldn’t muster a single fuck about the harms ai has done though.
The only thing people around me seem to use ai for is essentially code completion, test case development and email summaries. I don’t know a single person who uses Snapchat. It’s like the world is diverse and tools have uses.
“I hate tunnel boring machines, none of my buddies has an use for a tunnel boring machine, and they are expensive and consume a ton of energy”
I can see that you’re trying to mirror my comment, I just fail to see the point you’re trying to make. Cool, you know people who have a somewhat legitimate use for the unprofitable, unreliable technology that’s built on rampant theft and consumes obscene amounts of power and water. And?
We already have the GPUs, they use a few hundred watts sporadically, definitely less than gaming. They use no water, they are air cooled and we drink more coffee than water ourselves. Do you just copy paste blindly arguments form the internet or do you ever stop and think from time to time?
And suddenly we’re talking about locally hosted models I guess? You’re just contorting your argument and cherry picking the single part of the deeply problematic technology you could possibly defend. It’s disingenuous and you’re just poorly covering it up with condescension.
Yeah, and electricity can kill you and start fires, that’s why we only use it in controlled equipment. Bleach can kill you too, that’s why I only defend it to clean the house. I also only defend knifes to chop vegetables, not to murder babies. What a dumb argument: “you only defend technology X for its good uses, and not for killing kittens”.

The post isn’t about locally hosted models amigo.
