Yes, I know it has an impact, though not as big as you make it seem, (and so is everything). When you divide it to calculate the personal impact, it is way lower than a huge number of other stuff. I agree that we need to address climate change, but I don't believe this should be the main focus.

Also, every individual should be able to choose how they spend their "carbon allocation", personally, I don't eat meat, I never take the plane, I don't own a car and do everything using bike and trains, my house is carbon negative (building it actually had a negative carbon footprint) which was a huge sacrifice I had to compromise getting a way way smaller house for way more debt than if I had built a cheap standard house (and of course I'm in debt for decade). LLM makes me more efficient at my job so I think I can afford the carbon footprint that comes with it which, as I said, is not as big per individual as you make it appear.

I understand that hanging on Lemmy makes it seem like AI/LLM is the worse thing that has happened to mankind, but it's really not, there are lots of issues with it, sure. But there is worse stuff to worry about.

I want to finish by saying that I DO support your action to minimize its impact, what you are doing overall is important and necessary, but I think you should revise the individual argument you put up against LLM, cause this one is not great.

I agree, cursor and other IDE integration have been a game changer. It made it way easier for a certain range of problems we used to have in software dev. And for every easy code, like prototyping, or inconsequential testing, it's so so fast. What I found is that, it is particularly efficient at helping you do stuff you would have been able to do alone, and are able to check once it's done. Need to be careful when asking stuff you aren't familiar with though, cause it will comfortably lead you toward a mistake that will waste your time.

Though one thing I have to say: I'm very annoyed by it's constant agreeing with what I say, and enabling me when I'm doing dumb shit. I wish it would challenge me more and tell me when I'm an idiot.

"Yes you are totally right", "This is a very common issue that everybody has", "What a great and insightful question"...... I'm so tired of this BS.

I get the sentiment behind this post, and it's almost always funny when LLM are such dumbass. But this is not a good argument against the technology. It is akin to climate change denier using the argument: "look! It snowed today, climate change is so dumb huh ?"

Their computer mice are pretty good quality, but I don't know if they are the best.

Clippy is becoming a shared symbol. The idea it represents is that: we are not happy with the way companies lock us out of our own devices. We want to be allowed to do whatever we want with the hardware we bought. We want to be able to repair it. We want privacy when using it... Etc...

The goal is to show each other we are many. He explained it in another video, the clippy movement actually had an impact. This is simply the first step for organising as a group around a shared idea: using a common symbol. It doesn't matter what the symbol is, as long as we recognize each other using it.

In other news: sunglasses are now prohibited in public transport, they were found to modify the perception of ads, modifying the intellectual property of ad maker in public places, the impact was a reduced market values of ad space in public transit which would have forced the city to increase the ticket price.

Stay tuned for news on those disgusting blinker pirate: those people blink twice more often than normal people which makes them see only half as many ads, police forces has invested millions in brand new blinking frequency detector, in order to more easily catch those dangerous criminals.

Ce soir je me sens tout particulièrement déprimé du comportement de ceux qui m'entourent. Je me demande parfois pourquoi je continue de faire tout ces efforts et ces privations...

I find it hilarious that most people in this thread are complaining about being called a "something vegan", like I can understand not being happy with the current AI trend, but it seems like the word "vegan" is what makes everyone ticks, it's NOT an insult, the "normal" vegan are very happy to be called like that, because what it refers too is something that they agree and identify with. If you agree and identify yourself with what those journalist are calling "AI vegans", the name doesn't matter, embrace it, call yourself that to easily express what you believe about AI.

Vegan is not an insult, it is a compliment.

Tout le monde trouverait absurde de parler du "trou de l'armée", et de vouloir que l'armée soit "rentable". Mais si on remplace armée par sécurité sociale alors la ya pas de souci, les gens sont prêt a débattre du sujet pendant des heures.

Tout n'a pas vocation à être rentable, la santé, l'education, la defense, et tant d'autre domaine coûte de l'argent, et ne doivent pas rapporter d'argent, ce serai absurde.

Starship troopers's point was missed by the same people making the sequels to it, I was so disappointed by the sequels, and don't understand how they could have been so oblivious.

I can relate so much, I'm getting a little closer to that dream life everyday.
