I don’t own one but I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube on the Thermaltake 600. I like it because of the looks and vertical arrangement which should be better for lower fan speed while not overheating and no GPU bending.
But I’ll probably get a Fractal North because it reminds me of an Atari 2600.
GPL is a license that uses copyright law as enforcement.
I thought you meant actual copying like when Linus tech tips used some Gamer’s Nexus script word for word.
Stealing script and content is a copyright violation. It could be a lawsuit but is usually ignored because of legal costs.
If gta5 was the only game sold, it wouldn’t be an energy issue!
When an AI trains on data it isn’t copying the data, the model doesn’t “contain” the training data in any meaningful sense.
I’d say it can be a problem because there have been examples of getting AIs to spit out entire copyrighted passages. Furthermore, some works can have additional restrictions on their use. I couldn’t for example train an AI on Linux source code, have it spit out the exact source code, then slap my own proprietary commercial license on it to bypass GPL.
I addressed that in my second paragraph.
In another thread someone brought it up so I did some quick math to see if it was true:
Gta5 cost $300 million. 4000 developers each with the latest GPU burning hundreds of watts per employee to create the assets. A rough estimate of 750watt pc, 4,000 developers, 8 hour a day, 300 days a year, 5 years = 36 giga watt-hours. That’s the energy to power 3.6 million homes for a year and I’m not even including the HVAC costs of the office space. For 1 game.
AI training energy use is small in comparison. ChatGPT 4 cost $80m to train.
However if I used AI more, I would still play the same amount of video games, thus increasing the total energy use.
Then that’s like writing about the evils of cars while driving a giant SUV for fun.
Do you agree with me on my other main point on reliability?
The Google AI forced on me in searches has seemed correct because every sentence has a footnote with a link to source that I usually click. The OpenAI code generation I used a year ago was brilliant. It wrote working VBScript for me which was a language I had no desire to learn. The microcontroller code for another project was also fantastic because it gave me an outline to start working with.
I thought Apple started the stopping support of Intel Mac’s a couple of years ago? If you had the newest Intel from 5 years ago, support is supposed to end this year.
make profiting AI companies pay for UBI
As I said, many companies steal content and repackage it for sale. Google did it long before AI. AI is only the most recent offender. Courts have been splitting hairs for decades over music similarities and that’s ignoring that entire genres are based on copying the work of influential artists.
There’s a huge difference between an outright Nazi like Musk and an average techbro.
These endless “AI bad” articles are annoying. It’s just click bait at this point.
Energy use: false. His example was someone using a 13 year old laptop to get a result and then extrapolating energy use from that. Running ai locally is the same energy as playing a 3d AAA game for the same time. No one screams about the energy footprint of playing games.
AAA game development energy use ( thousands of developers all with watt burning gpus spending years creating assets) dwarfs AI model building energy use.
Copyright, yes it’s a problem and should be fixed. But stealing is part of capitalism. Google search itself is based on stealing content and then selling ads to find that content. The entire “oh we might send some clicks your way that you might be able to compensated for” is backwards.
His last reason was new and completely absurd: he doesn’t like AI because he doesn’t like Musk. Given the public hatred between OpenAI and Musk it’s bizarre. Yes Musk has his own AI. But Musk also has electric cars, and space travel. Does the author hate all EV’s too? If course not, that argument was added by the author as a troll to get engagement.
Trump tariffed penguins because he didn’t understand what Microsoft was talking about.
The outsiders are still VC owners. Andressen’s company might be put out of business by another VC firm that uses LLM, but that happened all the time long before AI.
Well of course owners aren’t going to replace themselves. They’re the owners, not the lowly workers. It’s like how owners exempt themselves from return to office mandates or how employees are fired if they find out you have another full time job yet owners “run” multiple businesses.
I give it 3 years max.
Yeah I want to completely switch off of Plex but neither is a good solution for my non tech family members. Mother in law is in a retirement center where they use wifi provided for the condos so I can’t access her router. And I would expect her ip to occasionally change on reboots etc. I might try IP ranges or narrow geo blocking.
I thought there was some way to use Jelly on the backend with a Plex client!
Jellyfin over Plex?
