"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

That's watts, not watt hours though, so it's like microwaving something for a little under an hour, which is unrelatable for most people.
But take your 300 watt gaming PC, play on it for 3 hours, suddenly you're at 900 watt hours and that's probably easier to picture for most people.
Except when you do that, you only get 3 hours of boring lame video games, rather than 5 whole seconds of thrilling slop.
