Great interview with Sasha Luccioni from Huggingface on all the ways that using generative AI for everything is both a) hugely costly compared to existing methods, and b) insane.
And yet, my opponents in discussion failed to provide good counterarguments. You aren’t going to convince me of anything by hating my post history
Nope it isn’t. You blame AI companies for pollution they didn’t generate. Blame the energy sector.
don’t talk about providing good counterarguments, please
What, you want to tell me I’m somehow obligated to exactly know where and how every service I use is produced?
Talk about a horrible take.
it’s not “hating your post history”, it’s just realisation that you’re a shitty debatelord and talking to you is waste of time.
see, because they can’t provide their own, talking about good arguments is all they have left
And yet, my opponents in discussion
good gods you’re going to be the most insufferable kind of person, aren’t you
You aren’t going to convince me of anything
this was a bit of a given
