There’s something else going on here besides this artificial intelligence can’t even reason

Interesting i just asked Perplexity how much electricity it uses to answer just one question.

here is the answer.

According to recent calculations, ChatGPT uses approximately 0.0029 kilowatt-hours of electricity to answer a single question, which is nearly ten times more energy than a typical Google search that consumes about 0.0003 kilowatt-hours per query.

“Renewable energy alone won’t be sufficient to meet their power needs.”

Oh, Spencer, come on! Everybody knows the Unicorn Fart Generator is going to do the job.

Which is why Microsoft is buying Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant and renewing its license.

Enough power there to power two cities

I am not exactly crazy about Microsoft owning a power plant but I am glad that the plant is not being decommissioned

This is why after years of telling consumers to live with expensive ‘green energy’ the tech giants are getting ready to bring online nuclear energy.

Good for them but not for us...

AI industry run by billionaires.
AI needs huge amounts of electricity.
Regular consumers need electricity to live.

Who is going to get the electricity?

[Mark]

Hook up solar panels and windmills.

Which is why the push to EV’s. They don’t give a rat’s behind whether you can drive, or not. They just want the electricity generation.

1.21 Gigawatts! Great Scott!

[Openurmind]

A much more important priority than air conditioning, heating, or electric cars.

[BlackbirdSST]

Anyone pushing these things should have to build and provide their own power sources. In the mean time, if they draw more than our systems can provide, they get shut down first. They don’t like it...tough, get off the grid.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sounds like AI is metastasizing.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Is this a good use of power ?

[wildcard_redneck]

When the elite want tools to allow them to dominate their citizens there is never a shortage of precious resources.

[piasa]

Going to take an awful lot of windmills to keep the Surveillance-and-Disinformation State going.

[Alas Babylon!]

And then what will the machines learn?

[Larry Lucido]

We’re gonna need bigger windmills.

[dfwgator]

How much of that power will go towards the generation of AI-generated Porn?

[rfp1234]

You're gonna need a bigger hamster.

In the book, The Adolescence of P-1 (1977), the AI got so sophisticated that it surreptitiously invaded facilities and accumulated resources.   I first read it way back when we were still using monitor printers and CRT terminals with green text.

That's why I am so frustrated with the so called AI that is being hyped today.

When actual AI happens, we will never know it because it will be laughing us while it...
