2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

one assessment suggests that ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI in San Francisco, California, is already consuming the energy of 33,000 homes. It’s estimated that a search driven by generative AI uses four to five times the energy of a conventional web search. Within years, large AI systems are likely to need as much energy as entire nations.

Which comment do you want me to reply to?

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Since apparently it wasn't clear, I was referring to the comment two above this one in the chain.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Whereas, I was referring to this comment, which you had nothing substantive to say about:

Presumably because you think it's justifiable for companies to do whatever they feel like as long as its legal and receive no criticisms for it.

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Nope, again, you missed it, it was the comment four above this one, the one about Sony and Nintendo.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I didn't miss anything. Especially not the part where you, once again, do not deny that you think it’s justifiable for companies to do whatever they feel like as long as its legal and should receive no criticisms for it.

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Again, wrong comment! It's the one above that says the word Sony.

For someone who got so bent out of shape about getting multiple replies, you know that you keep sending me replies irrelevant to your original request about which comment to answer? Again, you asked me to stick to a single point, so are you mad at Sony and Nintendo for their environmental footprint which is several times larger than ChatGPT's?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Why should I say anything about your Sony comment when you'd just defend anything Sony could ever do if it was legal.

Legal for Sony to dump PCBs in a river in a country with lax environmental regulations? Just fine to you, apparently.

Why should I say anything about your Sony comment

Because I asked you first, and you get really bent out of shape if we don't stick to a single topic at a time.
