what is with the ai written articles lately? and ai designed websites?

who looks at it and goes "yes, ill upvote this. more people should see it."?


This content was from a year ago and was not written by AI.

what is with people who are convinced everything is written by ai with no evidence lately?

not only is it down but its likely to be a decently sized hack too, many big accounts including elon having their bio edited to promote various crypto


Where did you see this? Elon's account looks fine and I'm not seeing any discussion on X about this.


the comment " be aware that talking to LLM actually moves carbon from earth into atmosphere" having 39 likes is ABSURD to me.

out of all the fascinating and awful things to care about with the advent of ai people pick co2 emissions? really? like really?


Of course it’s a reasonable thing to bring up. Resources are finite.

I know people who can no longer afford to heat their homes thanks to electricity going up so much (and who also went all-electric because of the push to that to reduce climate change). Before anyone says “solar”, solar isn’t very helpful in cold winter weather, nor is it at night, and before you say “storage”, it doesn’t help when it’s below -10 C out and modern heat pumps need to switch to resistive heat. My home needs 69A for 3-4 hours at night to stay heated when the temps are below -20 C. 66kWh of space is out of my reach and I’d have no way to recharge it anyway.

So, yes, consuming electricity wastefully has very real consequences for very real people. They simply get to be frozen (or will get to be overheated, once summer gets here). They don’t have access to private debt to pay their electric bill nor to install “sustainable” power generation.

As far as climate change being real… one of the aforementioned people just burns wood in a stove now since he can’t afford his electric. So that’s the actual impact of a pointless chatbot making stop quality PRs. Is that really the right direction?


No one is counting CO2 emissions. It's a quick understandable shorthand for pointing out that AI uses a lot of resources, from manufacturing the hardware to electricity use. It's a valid criticism considering how little value these bots actually contribute.


Right. The amount of CO2 we can emit is finite. For all the talk about how AI will use “sustainable” energy, its operators are just buying it off the grid at the lowest price they can get.


Yes like really. Do you have any other stupid questions?


> out of all the fascinating and awful things to care about with the advent of ai people pick co2 emissions? really? like really?

Yes. Because climate change is real. If you don't believe that then let your LLM of choice explain it to you.


i am impressed. no ai can ever write announements this bad


extremely bad takes CHECK broken cert CHECK somehow top of front page CHECK


Which model would be the best to use for mandarin? Are there any models on par with Parakeet that are just as fast but also understand Chinese?


also is there a way to make parakeet type more naturally? less capitallization, less punctuation? can this be a setting?

this can already be done via local llm processing the text but surely there is an easier way to do this, right


I believe sensevoice, I’ll hopefully be implementing it soon enough


the model is permanently loaded into ram for access speed. discharging it would unload it from ram and lead to longer start times


It does unload it, and actually might be a good default for most people as the model loading does happen in the background as soon as you hit the key


oh this is because they want more data to build better ai (that will give them more money and power and probably some other things too)


so you have ptsd from a browser?


Aren't we all?
