I admit I didn’t know that Mistral or Photoshop claim to use no copyrighted material, but I am loathe to support Adobe as you seem to correctly imply.

On the topic of power usage, we can assume 1Gw. But 300 million people using the same model as was trained via that inital 1Gw input seems like a stretch for as much as OpenAI / releases models / tweaks. And the root of my problem with the power draw is that it’s not coming from clean or renewal sources so it’s not just the 1Gw of usage, but all the pollution that comes with it. Not to mention the datacenters using water for evap cooling and taking water from towns.

I think your best bet is either AO3 or tumblr.

This is why I am a fan of the work of the Four Thieves Vinegar collective. they are making instructions on how to make at home versions of some of the most critical chemicals and medicines.

The problem I see with that is even though it’s local (which is a huge step towards FOSS ownership instead of private hidden control), it still takes tons of energy to train the model itself. Not to mention the IP theft which is a whole 'nother issue.

Ideally, I was thinking nuclear or renewables. But the way things are now, I don’t want it all. Just wishful thinking on my part.

Good. hopefully it will keep AI out of here. The only way I would be cool with AI is if it took 1000% less resources, and wasn’t powered by companies building datacenters that produce power in teh most polluting way.

Not to mention the fans volume.

Probably either Shakira or Brittney Spears.

Thanks for the suggestions! I am slowly setting aside money to try to travel there someday and planning at least helps it feel closer.

I’ve got some German heritage, and I’ve always wanted to see the Black Forest. Plus there’s the Brandenburg gate and castle Neuschwanstein.

I’m American, so predictably I’ve never been out of the country. If money weren’t an issue I’d love to travel to Germany, Japan, and China to start.

Go ahead, this is a safe space. Get it out of your system.
