I'm curious, I might ask too much. I'm very literal.

The NVIDIA DGX B200 is a datacenter grade AI server. It consumes up to 14.300 W. Noise levels (caused by the ventilation fans in the machine) can go up to 106 dB. For comparison, the front rows of a rock concert is 110 dB.
Whenever you use AI to generate a bad joke, a picture you don't need for your LinkedIn post, or a song nobody will remember, you are making this machine and thousands like it work.
And whenever you do NOT use AI, it still works because the LLMs powering AI services need to be trained.

The Society of the Spectacle, by Guy Debord
"" (...) a modern society in which authentic social life has been replaced with its representation: "All that once was directly lived has become mere representation." Debord argues that the history of social life can be understood as "the decline of being into having, and having into merely appearing." This condition, according to Debord, is the "historical moment at which the commodity completes its colonization of social life." ""
Bandcamp has apparently laid off most of its engineers.
> my 13 years at bandcamp are coming to an end - i’ve been laid off along with most of the remaining engineers. best job i’ve ever had, working with the best people you could ever work with. unceremonious end to quite a ride.

@ancoghlan Using AI for the sake of using AI, even when there's no tangible benefit of it. Terrible usage of energy but a beautiful effort to help the #enshittification that will come hit us harder.

@Furthering@convo.casa As if media (un)coverage was a trustworthy indicator of anything.
Also, tangentially related, when a female is killed by a male "woman dies..." (spontaneously I guess), but "man brutally murdered..." (by an evil female partner!) when it's the other way around; seen many cases of this from media in my country (Spain).

@peter And this is the tool that is taking / being given every day a little more responsibility over basically everything. It's so depressing and ridiculous.

@Tutanota I wish the switch lasts, as I don't think it'd be the first time a move away from Windows happens in certain public administration, to later be reverted and Windows adopted again.

@DazRunner @neil I use it. I like it. Some complain about their CEO because he seemingly supported Trump. I haven't seen this myself.
Roblox stock going down due to new child safety measures just means that businesses perform better or are perceived as better when there are pedophiles, abusers, or groomers into the mix. That, in some perverse way, they are a desirable thing.
