Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.


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. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


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.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

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.

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

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 6 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

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 6 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.
